Looking for a new daily - input needed.

Turning headlight motor - $1300

Passenger seat airbag sensor - $900

Sunroof skipped track and needed reprograming.

Electrical gremlin began rolling all my windows down whenever it felt like.

Mine had some prior damage unknown to me that caused some issues. Mechanically I took it from 18k to 80k with just a new battery and a coil pack to keep it going and I enjoyed every minute of driving it.

So it's a VW.... That's gonna be more expensive to fix.

General consensus on the E90 forums is the N52 is pretty much bullet proof, just general maintenance and some oil seal issues with valve cover and oil filter housing.

Scheduled a PPI at Prestige for this afternoon - on a $10k purchase I figured it's worth the money.

I bought a car. It's nice. Has lots of buttons that I don't know what they do. I did figure out how one on the floor works. I named it my "smile" button.

It was nice of the dealer not to mention they only had 1 key fob until I was literally walking out the door.

Now it just needs coils and wheels=)

I'm assuming they're a dealer only item? I'm sure they're giving them away...

I'm in the same boat... Zimbrick told me $250.

Turner Motorsports sells H&R Sport or Race spring sets for $240 each.....

Owned the car 12 hours and know that.... Just saying.

Coils man, coils=P You'll always want to go a hair lower haha

[wasnt m3]

Coils for sure, the shocks will be worn soon anyways.

Cost + Ease of use = springs

A: It's a daily.

B: It's a nice car - so it'd need nice coils (see "A")

It's a daily.

Rimz and tires are gonna be $$$

E: It's a daily.

[ClassE]

I'll always wanna be lower if I do coils... And my wife will surely be driving this occasionally so approach/depart angles will be completely disregarded by her.

Bilsteins, springs, and wheels. DUN.

[patsbimmer1]

You'll be fine with a set of springs.  I'm looking to pick up a set soon!

[ClassE]

That might be enough intenetting today.... Alittle more drop and this is on point!

[patsbimmer1]

These are nice to...
