Drove up to Boston on Friday night so I could use my parents garage.

Debadged, front plate removal and BMS intake








And this was the main project. When I first bought the car, 3 of the 4 clips that hold the rear bumper on along the tailgate had popped out. I went to one of the best autobody shops in the BMW business in the area (C&D Autobody) and he told me the bumper was ruined, would never lay flat then quoted me $3k+ for a new bumper and paint.


Well a few hours in labor to simply remove the bumper and put it back in the slots correctly and the problem was solved. Theres a tiny bit of paint damage to the tailgate but that should be something easily fixed.


Feels good to prove them wrong haha. Enjoyed a nice beer after that
