Well thats good.... betcha that foam underbumper cover is cracked though....if it was that hard of a hit like your sayin i wonder if the 'metal' bumper is bent too? Curious to see what you find. Glad you guys are ok.

I honestly thin by the time i locked them up and hit her I wasnt going too quick. I honestly think its just the bumper cover that needs painted. just some stress marks in the paint.

All this being said, I am going to look at a commuter tomorrow. 2007 BMW 328xi (awd) coupe with 60k on it. Seems like a good deal as Im driving roughly 120 miles a day for a new job.

This means that once i get a commuter, I can park the denali for winter and make it perfect again.

Here's the short list:

paint front bumper
paint rear bumper
paint mirror caps
corsa look alike tip
305/40/22 420's or proves
fix leather console
fix driver seat
have the whole truck polished out

potentially:
speed engineering headers


Ill grab a nice cover and park here in the garage and keep her clean.

I figure with 178k on it I wont get anything private party, and definitely not trade in. It doesn't cost em anything other than insurance to keep it and it can be a toy and only used when needed. I haven't had any major issues and have taken good care of it so i figure she can me my evening and weekend driver!

If you look close you can see the paint stretch and stress cracks. The bumper cover isn't even cracked itself. Probably will just repaint the whole bumper.

Here is the new beater that is coming home tomorrow. Now the Denali can rest in the garage and be my fun car.

Already planning on upgrading the angel eyes to led, getting a front and rear splitter, and contemplating wrapping the roof black and going with black wheels. I really wanna recreate an M3....theyre just so bad ass.

The car is an 07 BMW 328XI (2 door, AWD, straight 6) with 68k and two owners. It is alpine white with a black interior and is loaded minus nav and sport package.

And yes, the mustang in the back is my fathers lol 2016 GT/CS 5.0 6 speed triple black. Waiting on a rousch phase 3 TVS2300, ARH long tubes, rousch catback, smaller pullies, 30% stiffer clutch, 305 rears and 285 fronts, strut bar, blah blah blah. Should be 750-800hp after this winter lol

And yes, same dealer as I bought the denali from!

I like the exterior styling of the BMW, never liked their interior though...

Thinking I'll do a front carbon fiber ornpained splitter, and an m3 rear bumper unless I find a cheaper rear splitter I like.

Going to upgrade headlights to led angel eyes and osram bulbs.

5% tint all the way around.

Black grills

Potentially factory led tails

And I can't decide yet blacknor machines wheels.

Kinda wanna go black and wrap the toof black too

Careful, this starts out as your beater, but by the time you're done it might take the Denali's place in your garage!
