Yeh, when I found out I was moving up here, I wanted something with AWD, my 3 didn't agree with anything other that dry pavement.....

Welcome. Not to sound unedjukated, but what year was that 3? Looks different from any I've seen.

Looks like he changed out the grill for an aftermarket. Also did some work on the headlights it looks like.

Mein Deutsch ist sehr grundlegend. Haben ihn nicht in den Jahren gesprochen. Ich verbrachte Sommer eines Paares in Österreich zwar. Like I said it's been alongggg time since I've spoken German. My Audi has Ansbach plates.
