Hey, is that a BMW M Part or an aftermarket one? If aftermarket, would appreciate a link or brand name. It looks really great and makes the G20 look like serious business.

Hi, it's aftermarket from www.dealkarde.com. Quality is good not great, but then the price makes up for it.

Connect on WA, usually very responsive.

Nothing like a dark blue BMW. It's brings joy to the rest of us observing it.


Off Topic: I assume you have great resume writing skills

Quick 30 minute photo shoot literally 5 minutes from our pastoral place :

Lovely pics itwasntme! Sharing some of a recent drive to Tutikodi, the car had to go uncomfortably close to the beach. I doubt my car would ever get so close to the ocean again, so had to take this photos for posterity!

Damn!
There's nothing like dirty water lines on a fast sedan! A refreshing change from the squaky clean living room worthy pictures.

I've been a member of the save the water brigade since the start of the pandemic- lost that habit to spruce up the steeds as usage reduced dramatically.

Quick dash to seek the blessings of Lord Balaji. Had an excellent darshan. Took around 4 hours each way including 1 hour to get out of KR Puram.

Roads great except for that awful bumpy tramlined Mulbagal to Palamner concrete stretch. As I've said before, the management team + chief engineer of the contractor + NHAI signing-off team should be fed a solid greasy lunch, loaded into the 3rd row of preferably a Xylo, old Bolero or first-generation Scorpio and driven at highway speeds on the first & third lanes .

It is the only highway I can think of in my recent experience where the regulars (including HCVs & vegetable LCVs) stick religiously to the middle lane. Why? The answer is that the first and third lanes are atrocious as well as most of the bridge/ culvert spans, and a clear safety risk to all. Please take special care on that stretch, especially around Palamner!
Enough ranting now .

this stretch is like 'repent for your bad karma' before the superb Chitoor to Tirupati greenfield expressway, which is, 'enjoy for your good karma'...

Family couldn't stand it any more. Was unceremoniously booted out to get it washed

Two tone 330i is something else.

Underbody washing recommended?

Haha, yes.

Underbody washing (in my humble opinion) is not a worry as the real stuff is anyway superbly covered by the rough road package. Only the end to end guard gets washed along with the wheel wells & alloys.

However, I never let them wash the engine bay itself. Unsure if even BMW Service does engine bay washing or not. Maybe the experts can comment? Mine is quite a mess.
