ZFL45H1'S new beast
I thought I would finally update that I have a new car, although yes I still have the fto but am selling it soon after I clean her up a bit I just cant afford two cars.
But my new car. I did end up buying a 2008 E82 BMW 135I in red.
Its completly stock only work its had done are services so its all up to me for performance and cosmetic mods.
First mods so far which the first isnt a mod but unfortunately before I even left brisbane to start driving home a kangaroo hit me so my car after 3 weeks of ownership is now at the body shop getting the front end fixed damage wasnt to bad and you couldnt really notice it until up close so in fixing that I got the front bar fixed and resprayed bonnet resprayed headlight mount broke and was plastic welded back together and some other plastic air deflectors ordered and replaced. That was all 800$ and will see the results in a few more days.
Next mod is a cat back exhaust cause it hust has no note to it so quite especially compared to the fto anyway some pics until I get time to take new ones when I get her back from shop

Nice.
If you thought the ftos engine bay was crowded try working on these cars. I just did a fluids and filters service on my 335i. The amount of crap to remove to inspect the accessory belt is incredible.

Re: ZFL45H1'S new beast
I don't like how infrequently the oil is changed and how quite a few of the fluids are lifetime fills.
I intend to keep mine for a good few years to come and would prefer to maintain it in such a way.
