I noticed that my local pick-a-part just got in a couple of cars that might have some parts that I've been wanting to pick up for a while now. It was a lovely day so I threw some tools in the car and off I went. The picking went well and I got two lengths of weather stripping and a lower cabin air filter housing. A couple of the clips are broken off mine.
While I was at the counter to pay for my prizes the manager came over and plopped down a little gift for me... a selfie stick, a cheap-ass selfie stick, but it's the thought that counts.
Total cost for the parts... wait for it....$18.41 tax in.

Edit: I also found a replacement for the engine cover screw that I dropped down on to the belly pan.

I dropped one of the valvetronic bolts and couldn't find it, and lost one of the 8mm coil ground nuts, so off to the local wrecker this morning. Found replacements and back ups for the next time!

I lost the driver door lock actuator on the driver's door, so had to make a Pick-N-Pull stop this weekend. Got the actuator no problem, but saw an E92 N54 that might have had some needed bits. Looking down I can see the machine marks still on the rear rotors....they looked almost brand new. The fronts were drilled and slotted, not my first choice, but also looked pretty new, no grooves in any of them, so...



Not bad for $25 each. Also found another CIC from a 1 series and several USB jacks and cables. Was a nice sunny day to get dirty, but those discs are HEAVY!

Raced out of work as there was a 2011 335i with M Sport at the sorta' local Riverside PYP. It came in on Saturday but I only noticed it there today. The bumpers, rocker panels, door sills, and lots of the engine compartment were pretty picked over already. It still has the 193 style rims, but they were just way too beat up for my tastes.
That left the anthracite interior! It looked like someone started in on it as the handles were gone and the dome lights were pulled off. But all the pillars were still there along with the headliner! So I grabbed them all, along with the brake handle, but left the headliner as I didn't think I could get it out easily without creasing it up.
So if I can get motivated to fabric paint my headliner, I'm pretty close to 95% there!



FYI to anyone in SoCal reading this (you're my people!), the LCI heated sport seats are still in the car and are in really good condition! Non-accident car, so all the airbags are there. Steering wheel with paddle shifters is there as well, although has an aftermarket cover stitched on that looked kinda' janky.

I posted those up hoping someone will get them: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...php?p=31480125

SCORE!!!

Can you go back and get me those paddles, if they're <$50?? I just got a M3 wheel for my 335i and want the LCI paddles. The black headliner is awesome, though my 335 already has it.

How about the M door sills or the dead pedal? Are they any good? I actually just ordered a set of door sills (for E92/E93) from eBay for a great price, but wouldn't mind a set for the 330.

I miiiiight go back Saturday and try for the headliner, but it's kinda' far away, and I hate removing airbags (They never seem to come out for me). Dead pedal was trashed and the sills were already gone :-(

FYI I ordered some used black grab handles and the black sunroof gasket from eBay. If I get up the courage to paint the headliner, I'll have everything else ready to go!

I have watched a lot of YT the last couple days and decided to give the M Sport headliner a try. I went back today and pretty much no drama pulling it out! I already did the ABC pillars, and someone else pulled the dome lights and visors, so really just had to focus on the sunroof. I followed this GREAT tutorial and it was perfect. Only difference was that I used the hex tool to manually open and close the sunroof, but no problem at all!

I used a tool battery to power the seats and dropped them down, then pulled the headliner out through the front passenger door. I had to bend it a little, but think it is fine. Total cost: $26!!!



I ordered the black sunroof gasket and black handles from ebay. I'm going to re-paint everything with fabric paint just to freshen it up while waiting, then install and have an M Sport interior!!!

Nice haul StradaRedlands ! And LOL I watched that very same video last night, wish a E90 with a pristine interior would fall into MY lap!
