Martlet The Gray 330i ZHP

[Tatarin]

I am adding a new member to my BMW stable:
Welcome the Martlet, a 330i ZHP sedan with 109,000 miles on the clock.
Some appearance flaws that need addressing:

1) Bumper Alignment
2) Driver's Side Black Plastic Molding Alignment

Wouldn't be a project without some issues and outstanding maintenance. The car came with nothing more than a title, so in the coming weeks I will be addressing some of the maintenance items:

1) Oil Change + Filter
2) Wheel Alignment
3) Rear Shocks
4) Shot AC [Fixed with a simple R134A Recharge]
5) Check mounts and bushings
6) Exhaust leak (Where is the most common place?)
7) ABS/Yellow Brake Light (Sensors?)

Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Looks great. Silbergrau is such a great color with the sedan's black trim.

Silbergrau love right here.

Interior is mint.
Black leather upholstery, alcantara steering wheel, black cube trim.
Working on shampooing the carpets later this week, pics to follow.

Well, Firestone just took a shit on one of their best customers and handed me a worthless excuse that they cannot align my car because they do not have a "special tool."
I call a load of crap on that because they did align my two other bimmers. Which leads me to beg the question: How badly can a corporation like Firestone and its parent company - Bridgestone need warm bodies that they seem to get just about anyone with a warm body and a pulse to work on a car?
Some clueless techs aside, this did lead me to order new suspension for the Martlet with adjustable camber plates and various height adjustments.

I will be taking my car to get corner balanced and aligned at a shop that doesn't make baseless excuses.

I've asked the firestone here twice about doing alignment. They said they can't... I know others on here that have the lifetime alignment from them. Really odd.
