Thanks for the feedback.
The issue is, this car is significantly cheaper than anything else I've come across. I think the savings I see in my purchase can be tucked away in case anything comes up down the road in terms of maintenance. The next closest priced car is about $5000 more. Barring an engine failure that $5Gs is where I would set it aside to take care of anything that crops up. |

Sunroof was an absolute deal breaker for me when car searching. The angel eyes don't actually look ricey on the 1er because they are 4000k bulbs that are fairly yellow. It is when they are blue 6000k bulbs that they look ricey. Sounds far too cheap to be anything but terrible.

I don't know your car history or how well versed you are, but having owned several european cars over the past 10-15 years i can tell you that they are always expensive to keep on the road......so my philosophy is that you're better off spending extra money now to get a better car rather than getting a 'deal' and then dealing with all the issues on your own. IMO. |

I seriously think we are either talking flood damage or stolen at that price.

Yeah, Ill be adding sport seats im getting locally, plasti dipped the silver trim black, and changed out the suspension. Headlights were swapped for depo's which are a good enough solution for the cost.

Upgrades all around. Sport seats especially are fantastic.

The only downside are that the ones i found are non heated and mine are heated.. I'll sure miss that. But the sport seats hugging me through turns is leaps and bounds better than having to brake against the dash with my knee's.

As much as I enjoy the sunroof, I'd be happier without it. Xenons would be nice. Put those headlights in, they basically suck, so Im going to send my OEM halogens to OSS and have them done the right way. (Yes, you can say I told you so) lol.

He told me one was done earlier this week at BMW of Bridgeport. He's going to send a copy of the report down to me today. I'll also call the dealership to verify their findings to make sure it wasn't fussed with at all.

Having looked into the details, I would avoid. It seems to largely have been neglected and serviced at a Goodyear center. Chinese knockoff parts here we come.

Ordered what is likely my final performance bit, though I suspect it makes 0 hp.

Yup, Supersprint muffler.
Scoops I'll probably avoid. 0HP/*$ = 0
