Took delivery of the car today. Transport guys got it over in just 3 days, so I was pretty satisfied with that. The car had a bunch of mud and dirt caked on to it. Pretty sure the PO took it for a quick spin in the mud just for shits and giggles. I didn't bother taking any pics since it was so dirty.
The car has a pretty fat valve cover gasket leak, but that will be taken care of shortly. Of course, first I need to figure out how to open the hood since the passenger side pin is seized. The ABS/DSC/Brake light also came on right after it was unloaded from the truck and gave me a fright. No sure what that was about (I'll give it a scan when I have some time tomorrow), but I imagine possibly the steering angle sensor was wigging out since the steering guibo/u-joint was replaced right before the car went on the transport truck.
It was all a bit disheartening at first, but the issues aren't major and nothing I haven't run into before with my previous BMWs.
Gave it a quick wash as soon as I got home from work, but it got too dark to take any decent pictures.
I'm gonna swap in the GROM Bluetooth audio unit from my M3 tomorrow morning. I tried to do it earlier but popped the inline fuse. Turns out there are two identical plugs in the trunk to power the unit... I chose the wrong one and saw a spark at the connector when I went to plug it in.. Go figure.
Just a bit of a teaser:
