I've had this car for a little over a year now and figured it's time to start a journal. I missed documenting quite a few projects with this car already that I wish I had.
My wife and I bought this 2009 328i with 102k miles on. It's Alpine White with Saddle Brown interior and auto trans. The wagon was in decent shape but needed a few things addressed when we first got it. Below are a list of fixes and upgrades we've done since owning it. I'll include photos of the projects I actually did document.
Mods/Fixes:
Replaced Inner Passenger Door Handle
Replaced Driver Door Lock Actuator
Replaced Dash Vents with non-broken vents
Installed BMW All-Weather Mats
Installed Eibach Pro-Street-S Coilovers
Apex Arc8 in 17x9 +30
Falken FK510 in 255/40/17
Replaced Rear Wheel Bearing
Replaced Valve Cover Gasket
November 2018 when we first picked it up. It came with the roof bars and tint.
June 2019 we installed the Eibach coilovers and Apex wheels.
This is our daughter who thinks the car looks exactly the same as when we got it.
Shortly after this beach trip the rear wheel bearing started making some terrible noises. I ordered the wheel bearing kit from BMW of Riverside and waited until my holiday break to tackle the job. It took me a solid 3 days to get everything apart and back together again.
And all back together
I'll update more once something else breaks or we make another upgrade.
