Brand new with 10 miles on the odometer

Probably a minor supplier/design change. Would be interested to know if yours lines up with other 22s maybe built after a certain date.

I’ll post my VIN when I get back from the store. Annoying because I don’t have a torx that big and I can’t find any documentation. Looks like a T55 I think.

Don't post your VIN! Just your build date.

5/22, there was also no Loctite on the bolt. It is T60 if anyone was wondering.

I was gonna say, looks like a T50. No big deal.

If you plan to work on this car having a torx socket and bit is a good idea. it is used most unexpected places.

If you're paranoid and think the government is going to steal your guns, whiskey, and your first love from grade school, then DO NOT post your VIN online!

For anyone shopping: torx sockets are called external torx or etorx.

Very common to change bolts, and various parts in different years of car manufacturing

J29 LCI confirmed!

I have to admit, I was hoping for more.
