19k Miles? People buy an M3 and then don’t go anywhere?

It’s more or less new.

Thanks, should be easy to swap back. Previous owner only did the puddle lights and swapped out the factory grill for the all black versions.

Ah, just noticed the grille. Gonna keep the blackout and do the side markers too or swap it back to chrome?

It made my 3 year old car with 9000 miles look like a commuter car.

I like the blacked out grill, likely just tinting the front two windows to match the rears and enjoy driving it. I have too many project cars already.

Gotcha. I keep going back and forth between plasti-dipping my front grille or leaving it chrome.

That was hairy! Saved myself £100 replacing the blinker.

I'd get replacement grills or spend the coin to get them painted. I think plasti-dip doesn't hold up to the beating it will take on the front of the car.

Hey, so my battery died (it’s about a year old), so I jumped it, ran it, and then sat it and the battery died again overnight. And it wasn’t a particularly cold night and my lights weren’t left on or anything. I don’t think it’s the alternator. Any idea what else it could be?

Advance Auto/Autozone around here will test your battery/charging system free.

Could really just be a bad/dead battery. I have to replace mine every 1.5 - 2 years.

You sure it wasn't an interior light that might have been left on?

This too.
