That's awesome, BMW must be keeping that one a secret for now. Otherwise, I guess they may have sent that car to the same shop that the Mitsubishi Eclipse I came across that had the Cayenne Turbo badging on the back.

it's fine, just haven't fix the ETR sensor yet, those 3 useless sensors will cost around 1.4k to fix it.
but SRS warning is annoying sometimes, I claimed against the city, and they are investigating now, just waiting for the response.

yet another problem.

I took my car in today for service and Free car wash of course, guess what I found tonight.
A bit long scratch on the front driver side wheel.




I emailed the service advisor already, hope they will take the responsibility and take care of that

New wheels ready to go, sitting in the garage now.

It's 19X8.5 all around with 235/35/19 and 255/30/19 Toyo Proxes T1R tires.

Hopefully to be on the car soon, but before I do that, I want to get the car detailed first.
