Where should I get my 'is' lip painted in alpinewhite? in Seattle

[Wschnitz]

I would have jacked out the dent, sanded it. And rattle canned the area and rocked it till i could get a respray. That thing was clean.

M20 Gurus...

It was my understanding that iX and iS heads were all 885 heads. No difference at all.

Just had a coworker tell me they are different. Gonna cross reference part numbers but curious if anyone can verify this from experience?!

The blocks are different.

Yup! Just needed the second opinion. Also called BMW Seattle and they verified it as well. The show goes on.

I thought you ran your 900T?

No I ran the M3 last time. 160whp, not bad for a stock motor with 200k miles and no rebuild.


I'd run the vert, but I wouldn't want to make the e92 M3 guys feel bad

Any paint shop should be able to match

Needed a new company car, so we decided to pickup a 2006 X5 4.8is to take clients around in, my god I didn't realize how fast those things were.

And I thought the 4.6is I drove several years ago was quick...

Sounds like a hell of a company car!
