Hi everyone, I've been selfishly lurking for the past year and a half, looking at all your cars and keeping mine to myself.

Drove down to VA from NJ to pick her up. No IDrive, slick top, power seats (but not heated), 6 speed, leatherette, M Sport package. She had just under 27k miles when I picked her up. 2013

Here's some shots from the past year to make up for my laziness!

Thanks! Spent quite a while looking for the right one, feel pretty lucky to snag this one.

Wanted to add all I've done is the black OEM grilles, not a fan of chrome and the glossy black matches the other gloss black accents on the car better IMO.

Been a few weeks actually, but just got around to posting my new (to me) 2012 135i 6MT Coupe, 95k miles. Previous owner kept it outside under trees and never really washed/waxed it much I think (I pulled/blew/pressure-washed about 500 leaves out of the engine and trunk lining), but I'm hoping to revive the paint myself rather than repaint it. These pics are pre-anything, but I did just polish and wax it yesterday evening, and bought a paint pen to try to tackle the chips and scratches (perhaps two dozen of them, ouch). Any tips for dealing with scratches and chips?

Earlier in the year, but DSB around 60k miles after paint correction and interior detail.

You could look in to an MHD tune for your N54 and an xHP transmission tune.

Search here or Google for more info.

Yes, definitely get a metal charge pipe if you're going to add more power. It's not if, but when, the stock plastic one will blow.

Random shot, but I did swap out the side markers.

Ignore the horrid back tint, STILL haven't found the time to get the rest of the glue out of the back window.
