Didn’t know there were age limits on Bimmers. I’m 51 and drive an F22 M235i. I don’t want a bigger car, your salesman sucks.

Check real OEM.com to be sure you got the right part.

Wish I could get 93, highest in California is 91. My tuner said CA gas is shit and recommended a gallon of e85 at fill ups.

Data logs look good

I have used that for two changes, no issues. Returned for their warranty in a flat rate box. Last change I used the MolyGen to make sure I had no leaks.

Love my M235i 6MT, perfect size for my life right now.

I either drive in Sport or Sport+. Comfort and EcoPro do not exist in my world, You’ll be just fine.

Clean

Saw one recently and had the same thought as you about the front. It is wide open just asking for a rock to bust it open.

My wife doesn’t drive my Bimmer, she could but doesn’t like driving a manual. OP these engines are pretty stout, you’ll be fine.

He should have been taking a picture of your 1M.

Love my M235i, the size is perfect. Nothing base about yours. Enjoy the ride and F the haters.
