De-badged, washed and waxed yesterday.

De-badge Makes it easier to clean…and de clutters the rear.

Well I had an X1 last time, so you're riding in luxury!

How's the sensatec?

She gave me the choice between a 330 or an X3, both white with sensa. I've had my share of uncomfortable 3-series. The X3 is definitely roomier and more comfortable. The sound system blows, I don't even think it is HK if they even offer HK on the 3 series.

I like the Sensa! It's soft and your ass doesn't stick to it. I also love Cognac on a white car. I'd pick it over Dakota.

When you're driving a Panamera, you don't care what it looks like on the outside. Same as when you're driving an E46M3, you don't care that the raspy exhaust sounds like ass.

I am disappointed that @NVRfollo didn't get the sport tourismo though. That's the baller car.

I changed the oil and filter on mine last week. Sent a sample in the Blackstone. I'm interested to see the results as this will be my first sample sent in on the car.

Does anyone have the covers for the holes in the structural metal pan under the car? Seems like covers would clean up the aero under there a bit.

Went with BMW 0w-30 FWIW and a Mahle oil filter. Changing the oil in the M550i is so much easier than the X3 w/the B58. The oil filter location in the B58 is stupid. Just stupid. Oil goes everywhere unless you stuff 100 rags around the oil filter housing.

I did absolutely nothing to my G30 today or yesterday. Nothing tomorrow or Friday and most likely over the upcoming weekend. It's at the dealer waiting for a new seat mat to come in. It will most likely be a week. Incredible how long it takes to get a common failure part. The worst part is not knowing where my car is parked there and how exposed it is.

I'd rather they just order the part and call me when they're ready to install. It's ridiculous how they just want to hold the car while they wait.

Especially with the shortage of loaners. I sitting on this X3 for a week while nothing productive is getting done to my car. Someone else could be using the loaner.

I asked them to put it indoors, but it's not really indoors or out, it's where it's parked and how frequently cars are being parked next to it. Your dealer may be one big parking garage, but it's the same issue.

The Sport Turismo is an even harder allocation to get. I do enjoy their look but it was hard enough to find the sedan allocation for the exact model I want since there are over 20 variants….
