Picked up my X, carwash-photoshoot + subaru

hey everyone. My car was recently in the shop for the 100k service. It was leaking oil out of the filter housing.
I got the CCV-PCV replaced. (updated heated system)
Water pump
all belts and pulleys done.
Radiator flushed, oil changed and what ever else needed.
I had two of the mechanics go over every detail of my car to check what else needs work. They told me that its in immaculate condition and that should be it.
Possibly the cv boots will give out soon they said.
Well a few days pass and there's a few drops of oil and maybe 2oz of antifreeze leaking under the car. I have yet to find where. And need to go back to have Thermostat replaced as preventive maintenance.

In the mean time here's a few quick pics of the car... more to come.

Nice! its a rare color. I will be looking into it tomorrow.
the Subaru is my friend's. ah its the rare spec-b version only 500 made.
but ahh not my type... the turbo boxer engine makes it sound like its electric, maybe stock exhaust is why. And ahh its not the same as a bmw. still feels faster than a honda, also the awd is not that great in snow... Not as good as the X at least. to each their own...

I have to say, i use to like those Legacy's but i've heard they are infamous for gearbox and turbo issue. Not sure if it applies on spec-b... Anyway, what is the color called on our X? Where can I get the touch-up paint other than dealership?

I dont know of their issues besides this one overheats in idle at 74k.
the color is oxford green 2. And I bought oxford green touch up paint on ebay. Does the job. 1994 1997 BMW 8 Series 324 Oxford Green Metallic 2oz Touch Up Paint w E Z Dabber | eBay

Green on tan leather with amber corners/sidemarkers is such a classy combination. Very elegant.

I think some wheels and spacers would reaaally set it off.

It sounds like you are enjoying it as is, so just keep driving!

yea classy but old. I think classy is more Black on Black. Thats what I prefer.

In my plans are Powdercoat the Rims black or graphite gray. I have two sets of 57's. Clear the amber or black them out. Running boards. Angel eyes. And blue or yellow fogs. And do more two tone interior. My interior is moded. with carbon wrap and plastidip. Many good things I hear about the interior.
