My aunt's sister in law is selling her house and cleaning out all of her dad's stuff from when he owned a service station and in the process I scored some near perfect metal cabinets for free!
I'll gladly take those off your hands (if you don't want them). LOL

The towhook looks familiar. The rest, probably don't need it anyway...

I'll try to remember. I'm there once every year or so... LOL

LOL. I can neither confirm nor deny to any allegations of said "street racing".

So you're saying you lost the race.

That would be correct.
They both have N55 Engines, and rolled off the assembly line within 3 months of each other. The black one I had tuned with a Vishnu Proceed V3 for about two years. I haven't modded much, just upgraded charge pipe and had the transmission ecu flashed with the Alpina B3 program. The transmission in my blue one is stock, and the difference is obvious.
As far as maintenance for the black one (other than oil changes), here's the short version:
e92/N55/ZPP/ZCW
Bought 08/09/2013@53,340mi Current 2/2019 @200,100mi (5yrs, 6months and 146,800miles)
Fail(s):
tstat hous/water pump 89k,
Walnut blast at 101k,
Transmission/T-case Fluid change and Alpina B3 flash at 103k,
Chargepipe at 106k,
Coolant tank crack at 114k, and related to the coolant fix, had to replace the FRM3 at 114k
VANOS recall performed by dealership $0 at Approx 160k,
OFHG replaced at 195k (minor leakage, simple fix) -
Get off my lawn, kids! 😁

I've had very few problems with my two 2011 Model Year e92 335xi's. My black one just turned 200,000 miles. Runs like the day I bought it with 53k miles on it. As long as they are driven regularly and you follow normal maintenance, and DIY, they are no more expensive than any other car.

I've always used Bosch with good results. Don't have first-hand experience with Delphi.
I used Delphi coils on my last change at about 171,000 miles. That was 28,000 miles ago and no problems.

although i agree car makers should make things easier to fix, rather than more difficult - removing a wheel and fender liner sounds better than crawling under the car and doing a reach-around with hot exhaust manifolds and such. i do not miss oil changes on my m20 e30. we are pretty spoiled with our BMW top access filter housings.
You got that right. I was explaining why I DIY all my oil changes to some of my domestic-owner friends, who were complaining about what a PITA it is to change the oil on their cars. All I said was "my filter is on top of the engine, and it takes me about ten minutes..." They didn't want to talk to me much after that.

Two weeks ago I replace mine too, and did the rear shocks. The rears were soooo easy to do after battling the fronts. Car was still on the originals after 206k miles! They were trashed!
Only thing that freaked me out was using the spring compressor. Looks like you had whole new units to drop in so you didn't have to deal with the compressor.
