I used that on my M4 once, and it worked great on painted surfaces but stained the plastic. Yeah, I'm late to the party here, I've been away... Griots also makes a bug&tar remover that I have fallen in love with. Spray, let it sit for a minute or two, wipe off. Old bugs require a little bit...

Sold the car, would rather sell these than go to the landfill. Fits CT5 and some other models... $10 for both. Thanks!

Yeah, thanks. I'm now a professional car salesperson, so you'd think I could easily do it myself, but not having the dealership behind me to provide financing and advertising, I know what a struggle it can be to sell a nearly new car that costs close to $100K. Most cash buyers would rather...

Final update for those following along: '23 BW 6-spd, 10K miles, base car black/black. I sold it to a dealer for $82K He sold it on Manheim for $85K. It probably cost him about $1K to ship it and pay fees. (I suspect, based on my research, that it took several tries before he got someone...

Me personally, no, never would I buy a car that was used at any of these type of places, including BMW, Porsche, Cadillac and Chevy. I've been to several. These cars take a beating. Sure, they are maintained, but it's a really tough life.

They are thinking, we may need to put tires on it, it's hard to sell a manual, and they would be paying on it for 3 months until it sells. That's why I took 82 for mine from a dealer that immediately flipped it on manheim. Let me know if you want a referral.

It was the earlier version with the hardtop convertible, and the :puke4 cylinder.

It's actually a strong compliment on the BW that I kept it as long as I did. I average around 16 months tenure for cars. There were a few outliers, a corvette that I kept for 15 years, a mistake (Z4) that I kept for 6 months...

So for those following along and need an update, or who stumbled upon this thread, I did decide to sell the car and put it on Autotrader. I had several attempted scams and a few low ball offers from dealers. One offered me $82K but after a discussion when he realized that it was a base car, he...

Thanks all for your input. My car is a base model, the only option was the security lug nuts, which I took off and sold (I hate those things). I listed the car for sale, and the only queries I got on it were from scammers and dealers. Of the last few cars that I've sold, I've found that it's...

Correction: it will be addictive! Watkins Glen has been on my bucket list for years now...

So... I had a 991.1 with the 7-speed, and found in inferior to the 6-speed. In fact, the 911 was in the shop and I had a Boxster loaner that was so much better that I ended up selling the 911 and buying a Boxster, largely because of that! As for the BMW, I have owned both a SWB and LWB 7...

740. More info on that here.

No. I actually removed and sold the wheel locks.

Yep.
