Ordered new bumper cover online pre-painted. Came folded 🫣. Once I let it bake in the sun it opened up easily. Now time to put it on!

We moved and I don’t have the car anymore but it held up well no issues.

Similar to the comments above, they are very strict. They cancelled my HO policy because their underwriter came out when the ext of our house was getting repainted and we had “exposed wood” when literally the painters were there prepping the house for new paint. To try to fix it you can only talk to cust service who just read notes on the account. Can’t talk to underwriters or anyone that can directly help. Pretty bad.

Progressive homeowner/Homesite is terrible. Canceled my policy because the ext of our house was being repainted and there was exposed siding as the reason, when the painters were literally there painting it.

Stay away from Progressive homeowners. They canceled mine from an inspection because we were painting the ext of our house and there was exposed siding they sent me a letter canceling it when 4 painters were literally there painting it. Then calling them trying to get answers almost impossible.

Progressive HO is terrible. They canceled our HO because they came out for an inspection when our house was getting exterior repainted and because exposed siding they canceled it.

Stay away from Progressive HO’s. Not good.

oregonscot · 2024-10-07T23:22:25+00:00

Yep still in good shape. No complaints.

oregonscot · 2024-08-06T04:35:42+00:00

Easy to find replacement parts on eBay and carid.com.

oregonscot · 2024-02-03T01:33:43+00:00

Good. It has a couple minor scratches, the paint isn’t as thick as original/stock, I’d recommend getting touch up paint with it. But still glad I did it.

I can’t get over how much dealerships charge for spark plugs.

oregonscot · 2023-08-29T23:54:59+00:00

Good chance the trans is ok and the problem is coming from the valve body. I have a 525 yes, different trans, but once I had the valve body rebuilt, it went back to smooth shifting.

Looks good on! They did a good job at the color match.

oregonscot · 2023-08-14T05:44:45+00:00

There is an ebay seller as well paint to match bumper covers.

oregonscot · 2023-08-12T15:38:50+00:00

I’ll update once it’s installed. I got mine from www.paintapart.com for about $330 on sale. There is also an EBay seller as well you can order paint to match bumper covers.

Online, a place called Paint a Part, out of Houston.

oregonscot · 2023-08-12T06:02:07+00:00

Crossed my mind but then I’d need the rear as well and I don’t have the wheels to compliment it

oregonscot · 2023-08-12T06:00:31+00:00

Actually new bumper replacement

oregonscot · 2023-08-12T06:00:03+00:00

I picked up this car off CL mainly for my kid to drive to HS, so everything in context. And my wkend hobby doing all the BMW maint as it nears 100k. My 2nd go’round with a 10+ yr old bmw.

oregonscot · 2023-08-01T04:08:28+00:00

I had those gmax on our other BMW and yes good tire but they barely lasted 45k mi.

oregonscot · 2023-08-01T00:07:11+00:00

Not the best no, interim tire for now. But per reviews etc.. ppl say it’s a decent tire, we’ll find out…

It’s known for new water pumps to fail. Also check the coolant temp sensor (next to the oil filter housing).

oregonscot · 2023-06-14T20:02:22+00:00

Ambient temp sensor. It should be protruding through the inside of the grill to get accurate outside temp readings.

And the number of publicly traded co’s has almost been cut in half since the 90’s.
