We need a next generation of car lovers. Most young people that I know in the States couldn't care less about cars. Some in their 20s don't even have licenses.

You're right, and I see the same trend in Sweden (at least the three largest cities). I guess problems with high prices/tax on cars and gas, as well as lack of parking spaces, make people use Voi scooters or the bus etc. instead. And as you said, most people are simply not interested in cars to begin with.

My son is obsessed and sleeps with one car in each hand every night, so I hope it won't be a problem in his case 😄

Thank you.

Side mirrors were from ebay:

Spoiler was from Alibaba, it's modeled after the X3M.

Thank you. I love them, spent a lot of time trying to find a wheel that fit the car. They're 21" 742M reps.

Love these - I did think they looked like the X5 22 inch wheels.

Not the best fit, but it works for me.

I'm having trouble finding a similar listing and the specific one I used to purchase is no longer available.

nice! I have my aliexpress spoiler at the body shop now getting some minor imperfections fixed up and colour matched to my BSM... Albeit, I didn't go with the X3M style though.

I remembered I saw one similar when I bought my car, but I didn't buy it, now seems they discontinued that. Found something like this, but I prefer the one you have, still waiting for RGsport to release theirs.

I'll try and grab a few more of the front. Looking for a D3 Design rep front lip to finish the front of the car. That and getting the quad exhaust tips installed should round out the exterior of the car.

Looking forward to first road trip to Long Island's North Fork in my "new" 2018 M40i. This is my first owned BMW after 4 leases and I'm happy to not have to watch the miles in this one! New rack for the trailer hitch will keep the bikes safely away from the beautiful Carbon Black finish!

Yes the 30e's are available. At least out here in California. We custom ordered a fully loaded one for her (even had a production #), but BMW cancelled the order because they ended production for the 2020 MY. We tried to switch it to a 21, but she was running out of miles on her current lease so I went searching to find the closest one available to what we ordered. Found this one at a dealership down in LA. One of the only highly optioned 30e's I could find. It doesn't have the tow hitch, but I will either retrofit the factory tow package or go stealth hitch. We just need it for bikes and she likes the kick to open function so probably will just go with the stealth.

Best view.
