What did you do to your car today?

RealJ22 · 10-09-2024, 02:06 AM

The old wheel was absolutely disgusting

Has anyone here retrofitted FLA? PFA

I have!

I’ve had 12.5 spacers in the garage for over a year now. Finally decided to order the correct length studs and put the spacers on the rear wheels of the e90. Looks so much better. No more tucking wheels like a truck.

Crazy to think that the rear tires are 9.5 wide and still don’t look that wide on the e90. I put one on the e82 once and it looked ten times bigger.

Whilst Firstborn was trying to get INPA connected (no luck so far) I piddled around and did some minor upkeep. Stared with the cupholder which now slides out great after doing a zip tie fix:

Then swapped out the PS reservoir O ring. I replaced the entire reservoir in Dec '21, so it's pretty much three years old and squished flat:

Firstborn is getting closer, but sheesh it's a nightmare just getting standard tools installed and running :-/

New tire yesterday.

Discount Tires and took me less than 30 mins from the time of my appointment. Very impressed with their service.

MidWillamette335d 's strut tower caps came in today

was going to install them when I remembered the engine bay was filthy. I'll have to detail it soon. Today the 328 got its first wash in months (poor thing) and it's first ever exterior detail under my ownership. I thoroughly enjoyed that but man could it use a decon wash and paint correction. Still shiny though! 😁

East Coast to the West Coast, and everywhere in between!!!

I am a sucker for OEM+ and love thoughtful little add ons like this!!!

Just went through my garage and organized my parts boxes. Lots of take off parts that I'm hanging on to for some reason. Then two aluminum and one dark glacier interior trim sets, a X3 heat exchanger, and a an E30 alarm system ready to go. Just need another car to put them on!!!

And I'm s detailing freak. That strut tower hole is always a sore spot on a shiny engine bay, it's always dirty. This is something that should have been OE.

Don't get me started on the contents of my shed, I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to parts.

Finally finished my interior upgrades...

Exactly. I might be turning over 500k and I need new bushings and all the production lines are shut down. I might need those rusty old bushings some day.
