2008bimmerM3 · 10-06-2008, 02:03 AM

Just picked up a 2008, 3 nights ago and was washing it and noticed there were some rust on the exhaust system underside, is this common and expected?

same here, but not sure if it's rust. maybe just discoloration?

my detailer told me it is just heat and dirt discoloring the surface. Detailer used some type of metal polish and it was back to new.
