haha, well as long as it's above freezing I'm ok, so far so good!

The Beemie is at the shop so no pics yet. Seems like the PO was a bit lax in fastening bolts:

serpentine belt tensioner was loose, so belt was almost new but now damaged.
Headlight was foggy; cap not fastened so dried and tight now
a few coils were loose, so all tight now, plugs looked good
radiator shroud was loose

so far minimal repairs and maintenance, except the heater fan makes some noise (I didn't notice it) and that will require taking the dash out... I'll probably cluster that with a new radio unit. Thinking about an android unit that looks like the OEM radio.

One more question: I want a hitch! But my mechanic said the only one that fits with the sports bumpers is a removable one. Anyone have a good adress where to get these? Or original equipment?

Cheers!
