    Wouldn't doubt it. I see MN plates on there. I live in the sticks (MN) as well.

    Even a journey to AZ wouldn't cause that much filth!

    Great turnaround!

    Thank you! I'm seriously amazed how well it corrected with just SIP, Hartge who makes BMW aftermarket parts always seem to make ugly things including the rims. No worries the owner is selling the car. :)

    Totally was around 12 to 14 hours, most time was spend on the wash and interior.

    Thanks guys! Just one ugly tree grrr haha.

    Thank you, I know personally don't know. I know its the body style previous to the current ones out today. I also prefer these ones more than the newer ones.
