Two and a half years of ownership and only 3k miles covered :roll: About time I started to document some of the changes.

Then these:

Then the 437m's: (Filthy at the time)

And now back rolling on black wheels: (Click for full size!)

Liked the 437m's but the 10j width wouldn't let me get the ride height where I wanted it, dropped back to 9.5j and a 255 tyre and it's sitting perfectly

About time you started driving it a bit more.
I bought a low mileage (24k 2009) 35i and had loads of snags with it, my indy was quite clear that the N54 likes to be driven not to be sat in a garage with the seals etc drying out.
I put 14k on it in 3 years and its a lot better now its sorted and driven around once a week....
 
It’s tricky getting it out, I have a Great Dane and I can’t drive a car over 6 years old for work which is the main reason.

I was fortunate enough to pick one up that has already had all the common issues sorted, previous owner spent a small fortune on it, DCT gaskets, rocker cover, water pump etc etc. It’s getting a 3 day run around the peaks next week, never gets used for short trips.
 
From a few weeks ago, needs some extra shiny bits :play:, The DCI does make an impressive noise, FMIC going on next
