Congrats! Hopefully the inspection comes back clean.
Hope the bumper just needs to be realigned and not replaced. If you need a replacement, PM me. I’m friends with a service manager at a BMW dealer and he can get crazy prices on this stuff. With the fenders, thats just part of the story with the wider wheels. Get thru the winter and then in the spring, repaint them and have paint protection film put on and you should be good to go. I’m having the same problem with mine and I don’t have any gravel roads. |

That's a good point. I'll probably drive it thru winter and then get it touched up and detailed in spring. I can tell this carbon black needs a detail from the photos they sent me. I love your build - especially the color. I told myself I would do any performance modifications to this because I have a 700HP 135i, but who knows. Having to remove the ECU for a benchflash helps prevent me from doing that. My plans are front window tint, paint-matched reflectors, smoked fender light, debadge, black grilles and black roof rails. Next summer I might get some 22" wheels and lower it.

Sounds like a nice example being 1 owner, no accidents, etc. I hope the inspection pans out. The pitting is normal on the M Sports - wide front wheels + no running boards + flared rear wheel arches = paint damage over time. Mine was the worst I've seen, huge sections of paint flaking off when I'd wash it. Just in the past 2 weeks I had it all stripped, resprayed, and then PFF applied. Looks like new! The aluminum trim is actually not too common on these vehicles - most have one of the many wood trim options. Quote:

She's on her way home... I should have her tonight! Probably the closest she'll ever get to a Lamborghini Huracan too
$18,500 for the car after negotiation $1,100 for taxes & registration $1,000 for transportation $200 for the inspection report $20,800 said and done, well under budget I'll be sure to start a separate build thread once she's dropped off and the modding begins!

Having many 135i and 335i in my day, I'm familiar and comfortable working on the 35i motor. Just personal preference!
