Proud new owner of a 4.8
 

Makes me giddy every time I get behind the wheel. Long history of BMW's and this one is by far my favorite!

Welcome! Very nice 4.8! Love the running boards...how many miles?

Thank you!

90K miles, all locally owned and driven

Bought it from a dealer, but the previous owner was most certainly an enthusiast. He/she installed the black grills, AC Schnitzer pedals, hidden and wired Passport radar detector and a high quality (hidden) after market sound system.

Only thing I've done is install the new BMW cross racks on the roof and changed out the plugs with NGK's.

Car was definitely maintained, it runs and drives like new. The steering and suspension is unbelievably tight.

Only issue so far is hard starts when the car is hot. No codes. I'm leaning (no pun) to it being the fuel filter which i'm going to swap out today.

Awesome ride!

Fine azz X!
Helluva steep driveway: not sure my Vette or a couple of my scoots could clear that angle edge, without dragging.

Nice looking iS. I like the running board and the front flares.
I hate the steep driveways when I was living in Seattle.

Was gonna say, throw some 30mm spacers in the back, it'll look better;)

Nice catch. Welcome.

Thanks fellas! I used to be big in the BMW game back in my younger days (turning 26 this month) started out on E36's, then had an E39, and a couple E38's as well. I strayed for a bit (must have had a glitch in the brain or something) and had a few Caddys, but it feels so good to be back!

I think the car looks just about perfect from the factory but that is definitely one of the few items on the to do list. What about spacers for the front?

Also, anyone local by chance (Portland, Oregon area) that would be willing to swap the black grills for OEM facelift grills and/or recommend a good local indy shop?
