I took my E90 to the Pocono mountains this weekend and I miss my F10. It should be done Monday or Tuesday from the body shop! |

I bought my bumper from Kies and I am happy with the outcome... I didn't have to swap the foam or anything just the bumper itself.

I am going to let the bumper cure for a week inside and then fully mount it. I added up everything and I am a hair under $14k all into the car. Hopefully the cat will clear out and the evap leak is cheap to fix. I am at about the max I want to be into a car at this time. Last edited by Nickco43; 07-07-2020 at 05:34 PM.. |

It is the BMS one. Honestly next time I would have rather saved $50 and get it straight from eBay. This is the same pipe as the ebay ones without any instructions or any BMS branding in the box. Not even a pack slip.
I can’t wait until the rest of the parts for my bumper come so I can finally enjoy my car for a little bit. I am holding off on dropping another $400 on the MHD tune for a while to let my wallet recover from the unexpected items that came up on the initial sorting. I am at $14.2k into the car now and I am going to easily be $15k into the car all said and done. This is a good lesson to anyone looking to buy any old BMW. Make sure you budget a few thousand to sort the car afterwards. If I get a chance I will write a buyers guide for the F10 like I did with the E90. |

Yeah. Anyone purchasing an older Bmw should have something extra set aside. Be it repairs maintenance or upgrades. But hey. For $15k. You're at 25% if not less than for a new one. And it's beats the heck out of driving a boring new Camry.

There is a pretty good oil leak coming from the top of the engine and dripping down to the rear of the oil pan. The dealer noticed this and said that when they did the vanos bolt job they would replace the valve cover gasket and this would fix the issue. To me it looks like the leak is still there. I did my rear diff fluid and saw a little bit of a seep from the passenger side axle seal. I attempted one last time and I could not get the front dif fill bolt out. I am going to let a shop replace the front dif fluid.

I coded my normal transmission as the sport transmission.
When I am backing up at idle speed I notice a bit of a choppy idle. I think I still have a vacuum leak or something somewhere. |

Nice! So you just had a weak motor, no other issues? Mine goes up but sticks when going down unless I push the arms in while someone pushes the switch.

A few days ago I finally got my new bumper on and I am blown away by how much it transforms the car. It is such a great deal at $350 on eBay. I drove over 300 miles this weekend and everything seems to be running good. My cats passed the OBD readyness monitor but now my evap system does not pass. I want to buy a smoke machine and test for evap and vacuum leaks before the end of the summer. |
