Diaries of a Daily Driver

[GunMetalGrey]

160k mile update:
Fixed broken connector on diff lock position switch, and now the locking diff functions properly.
Put the under seat subwoofer from Titan V1 into Titan V2, and thanks to an aftermarket headunit that was installed in the new truck, it's a better setup all around. 
Installed a driveshaft spacer to push the driveshaft back into the transfer case, this is needed due to the lift. 
Put the sidesteps on from Titan V1
Put on my homemade headlights
Installed window rain guards
Fixed a sway bar end link
Replaced positive battery clamp
Put on some new wheels and tires

Old setup (KO2's from last truck on stock wheels)
Looks like it skipped leg day

New setup (35x11.5 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on some 18x9 et0 wheels)

It's been nicer to drive than the last one, and the driveshaft spacer helped cut down some low speed vibrations.
Last tank averaged 12.1 MPG (mostly all city) on the smaller tires, so she surely likes using fuel... 
First bike trip with it will be soon, and I'm looking forward to that!

I’m late to the party. Is this a 2wd truck?

The new one is not. Pro-4x this time

Oui, LWB option. You very patient lol

35x11.5 = fuel mileage it was nice knowing you.

Haha, in finding the truck itself, or in finding a spot to park?

I didn't provide much detail prior, but I typically browse FB Marketplace a time or two a week for Titans.
The plan was to move with the 2wd one, and eventually pick up a 4wd one once I got settled a bit. 
I came across this one, and it was posted for 7k. I felt like it was a scam at first, but chatted with the guy a touch and set up a time to meet him. 
I messaged him on Saturday and went down to check it out on Monday. Left with it for less than his asking, and I couldn't be more stoked to find a LWB Pro-4x. I think I've only seen 2 others on the Titan forums.

Just needs a whip and some KC lights then you'll be all set for Country Thunder!

So it's been a lot of truck stuff lately, but we're back to the BMW way of life.

I enjoyed seeing Jake's car hanging around, and I am getting sick of driving a crew cab long box truck around in the Seattle area, so I was on the hunt for a new and smaller daily. 

So far the chassis feel is awesome, and it corners a lot better than the truck.... 

It's just a 128, but that seems like the move for now, reliable, good gas mileage, and overall a bit easier on the budget. Sport seats and the sport steering wheel coupled with the paddle shifters make it aight. It's got something that sounds a lot like the BMW performance exhaust on it, which sounds just fine. 

Cars our here are super awesome due to the lack of rust.

Jealous of the white! Car looks clean, I like the black grilles and tinted windows. I'm surprised you got an auto, but you will still enjoy it. Reminds me of my old 328i, a fun daily driver.

How long 'til you lower it on wheels and add blackline tail lights?

PS: I don't think you made a public announcement of your move on FB or WIBimmers, but maybe now it's time to migrate over to WABimmers...

The auto was decided on due to traffic and my intended use for the car, but who knows, maybe I'll end up with a manual one soon. 

Wheels and tires are something I'm currently looking at. Arc-8's in hyperblack or hypersilver seem like the move. Backordered tho...

As far as tails go 

I gotta figure out what to do about the all white rear bumper. 

Oh yeah, I moved. I live in Washington now.

I vote hyper silver! Maybe I missed it, but what happened to your other cars? Still have them?

Hyperblack ARC-8s would be the move.

Blackline tails already?! Damn, looks like this thing was modded. Exhaust tips don't look stock, almost looks identical to my old Riss Racing setup. The 1 series never got dual exit exhaust, so you could just find a white 135i rear bumper to get a diffuser on there.

I sold most things, but still have the diesel swapped E30 sitting in Appleton and I will have it shipped to myself soon.
