You guys had me look it up on the internet and I guess you are right BP and the others, my car is pre-LCI.
A slightly rare bird it is! Thanks do Fredo for his effort and connection with someone who has sticky fingers, this is what he found out for me about production stats on this very E93
- Between 2007-2010, 322 BMW 328i Convertible (WL13) - painted in Space Grey Metallic (A52) with Black Dakota Leather (LCSW) interior were built for the US market. 33 were manual (2 are M Sport), 289 automatic (6 are M Sport). So I have 1 of the 2 that were built with manual transmission in that color combo! That's like what? worth 10 HP right?
- The most rare option in this car is option S710A - M leather steering wheel. It was installed on 21 out of 17,781 cars.
Thanks for the nuggets Fredo! And Thanks Rando for moving the thread and changing the title for me.

Thanks Rado, I'm itching to clean it thoroughly and make it mine.
Bought it and ran with it, then took off for 2 weeks in France.
I'll get on it and those wheels.
(I need the brush and the Sonax wheel cleaner I think)

Ouuuhhh, aaahhh, this might have to be my first mod.
So much to do.
Thanks for the link and the idea Fredo.

Got acquainted with the rubber bits on the retractable roof, applied some of this and grease in key spots. Looks like the maintenance on this has never been done.
Do you guys use other products to maintain the hardtop? Apply every 6 months?

Need some help from the convertible brothers or the e9x brothers.
The incoming call ringing is obnoxiously loud! Can I turn that down in the OBC menus? I am not seeing it. I also do not have the audio component booklet with that car so it is not easy to adjust some of the settings. I am OK with the USB music, paired phone and all that but would like to be able to lower the sounds of some of the alarms that turn on (e.g., icy roads, seat belts).
The car has a whine that I do not like, I will take it back to carmax to have them look at that.
I already took it back once to realign the front bumper which they did very well!
