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

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.

Really? Why is that?

Peculiar offsets. 18x9.5 rear needs a 62 offset
