Ok not ALL today...but so far. My new to me 2012 Deep Sea Blue Metallic on Black Sensatec LCI 128i Steptronic with 181k miles on it's still wonderful, and full of life N52. Only options are the paint, heated seats and navigation with iDrive. I planned on using this vehicle as a daily/commuter, but I'm afraid I've already fallen for it. It was very well maintained by the prior owner and always serviced at a BMW center. Fresh fuel pump, power steering pump, active oil change contract. Had BMW OEM maintenance plan until 100k. It needs a bit here and there but the bones are stunning.

-Replaced both headlamps with OEM Valeo units. I tried my best to polish them, but it ended up becoming worse, and I'm so happy with the price and the install! Sometimes new lamps are the only way to go. Shame it isn't like the E46 where the lenses are replaceable separately. (without a bake!) Excuse the handprints in the pics.

-Replaced the third brake lamp and a whole rear lamp obverhaul...nice and bright again.

-Replaced failed driver side door lock actuator

-Installed new iDrive surround, door lock pin surrounds, start and stop button, trunk release button, and shift knob with new OE parts due to normal BMW peeling plastics.

-Engine filter and cabin filter replaced

-Oil service (while it's still on jacks-- LiquiMoly 5W-30 w/ Ceratec and Engine Flush prior).

-A new Style 264 staggered setup is currently being refurbished, so after the LOF, I will await having the ability, to actually, you know- drive it again and then comes much more maintenance.
