2009 E92 - IB new to me

I purchased this beauty two months ago! I really wanted a manual but good luck finding them. 30K with 39K miles. Not sure if that is good or bad but i am happy. Just finished putting test pipes, braided steel brake lines and hawk pad on. Suspension and 275 square tires coming next. When this thing hits 100k (or i get bored and want a new daily) it will become a dedicated track car.

Got the 10yr old PPF off the car this weekend. The car is intact underneath as it rolled off the showroom brand new. I did not buff/wax anything at this time. No rock chips, scratch/swirls on the paint, headlights. I was amazed. Full front PPF did its job, well done! a couple of cut marks around some edges, think from the time when PPF was put on

I will get the surface ready in couple of week before putting new set off PPF.

That is outstanding! How many miles are on your car? I have PPF on mine also. I'm afraid to take it off. It's 12 years old but its been garage kept. Any suggestions with taking off PPF after such a long time?

I have 68k miles on the car. Have been driving less than 4k miles/yr last couple of years. I was in the same boat. I consulted with many PPF installers in the past who were only interested in taking off the old one as long as I am getting a new one. I recently found someone who was comfortable taking the old one off @ $100/hr. He took off a small sample off the side mirror and was confident to do the rest. I gave him a word of mouth that I will get a paint correction soon and get back to him to get a new PPF.

Mine old PPF faded and gave a satin look which I did not mind. The headlights definitely were turning yellowish. One thing I would mention that if the old PPF cracks then it is definitely going to mess up the paint underneath. I did not want to wait further and end up with that. Thank god everything turned out well in the end.

Sad to report that I sold mine today. Going to a gentleman in Thomasville, NC. I do not believe he is a forum member. Someday I will buy a IB E90 DCT! Until then best to you all.

Actually, I am a forum member! I joined in anticipation of getting this car. It's in transit, should arrive by the end of the week.
It is a replacement for the car I sold a few months ago - an Interlagos Blue E46 M3 Comp Pkg.

F82 to E92

Had a E92 for 3 years then sold it for a F82. Still have the F82 and it's a blast but a part of me always missed the E92. Picked up this 2012 Interlagos Blue that was bone stock it's whole life and well optioned. First impressions are this car is a lot smoother and balanced than a M4. Both cars are special in their own ways I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

The car looks in great shape. Is it a 6spd zcp?

Non ZCP and DCT. I know, not what most wanted to hear but I got this car to daily and LA 5 North traffic wouldn't be fun in a 6spd. Below is a snapshot of the window sticker.

Tim!!! I am so glad you are here! Hope to see my once precious gem from to time. Here is the last picture I have with it that my wife took when I pulled out of the garage on the pick up day.
