I bought a 2013 E93 M3 from Bmw Northwest in tacoma, looking for previous owner.
I bought a Space Gray 2013 E93 M3 back in May from BMW northwest and Im trying to track the owner down to try and get some history of the car. It has a decent amount of after market parts on it, but the dealer and myself arent sure about some of them and there is no records of the work at the dealer.
The car has the Dinan Throttle body sticker under the hood and the dealer is claiming they think the previous owner only had one throttle body installed (ive got an appointment setup to have them verify everything by actually looking), but from my search it looks like they are sold in a set of 8. Is it possible to only do one and have the car still run properly? This is my first bmw, so i really dont know a lot. I picked it up for a commuter that i can have fun driving. My other car is a modified '15 challenger hellcat and 8/13 mpg isnt fun to drive every day! lol. thanks for any help |

Im used to the 13 mpg from the hellcat, so 18.8mpg in the m3 is definitely refreshing. Ive got a 2004 Mini Cooper S, but it needs about 3k in work and im just not sure that I want to put anymore money into it.

At the end of the day it doesnt matter too much since as of right now there is no proof of purchase for the parts, which to my understanding is needed to get the dinan badge from dinan. Between dinan exhaust, throttle body, and intake it would put the car at 8 points, but I dont see them doing all of that and not getting the tune, which would put it over 10 points and the car would qualify for the badge, if i could get proof of purchases and install. |

My experience with BMW Northwest (and their colleagues at Seattle Mini) has been less than stellar . . so it wouldn't shock me if they didn't know what they were talking about! |
