What did you do to your car today?

John 070 · 06-10-2016, 02:30 PM

At lunch, I lifted the hood of a 2016 328i x-drive which I am driving, because I was curious as to what's there (I know it's a 4 cyl. but I was curious how it was laid out etc.). Not sure if it's allowed to mention non E90 cars or what, I see others doing it, but some dude told me not to do that. The same dude has a pic of an E39 in his signature, so I have no idea why he is like that, like he picks and chooses. I do own a E92.

Link please...hard diy wiring?

I got it from my friend's VIP Lexus. It's called the Show n Go license plate available on amazon.

I forgot to take pics of the install but I'll do a quick DIY soon for anyone else who's interested.

pcjackson06 · 06-10-2016, 09:50 PM

New coils and plugs. Gratifying results.

Htowne90 · 06-10-2016, 10:43 PM

Not exactly what I did but what BMW did... Dropped my car off becuase of rough idle they found some small misfires replaced all coils and plugs then went on to do carbon cleaning what we call walnut blasting under warranty!!! Paid only $50 oh and they did the oil chnage and wiper blades under Maint warranty.. Lol and cpo ends this sat!

Unknown_Car · 06-11-2016, 12:58 AM

Installed m3 hood and front bumper, and i wrapped bottom of the rear bumper with carbon fiber 4d wrap. And also wrapped the front bumper on the lower sides with 4d carbon fiber wrap. Also installed carbon fiber side mirror covers ( not the double tape) actual clamp in covers. And i spray painted my rims in gunmetal color, and i used 3 layers of clear coat (came out nice) .

Bruh...

John 070 · 06-11-2016, 09:51 AM

Small potatoes but I finally buttoned everything up....my DSC hydro DIY has been going on for 5 mos, mainly cuz I didn't bleed and flush until last weekend.

I did break a tab off the lower cabin filter support and the gorilla glue worked. Also, I broke the air quality sensor which amazingly could be fit back in place snugly with duct tape rolled into double stick tape.....it's all good I can do this fix easily now. Waiting for an in law's DSC to break now lol

RL_E92 · 06-11-2016, 11:17 AM

Yesterday was oil change and service (plus a crappy wash by dealership), today was supposed to be detail day, but the weather has been crap!!!

Bounceme · 06-11-2016, 03:17 PM

mjn77 · 06-11-2016, 04:21 PM

Got road trip in 2 weeks and the car is looking pretty shabby, so got the machine polisher out and got to work.

Freshly polished;

And after some Swissvax Onyx;

And some beading;

OnlyDriveGerman · 06-11-2016, 04:53 PM

Cleaned and conditioned interior. Feeling too lazy to vacuum, so I'll do that tomorrow before she gets a bath. Looks and smells nice inside though.

Greyfox · 06-11-2016, 05:07 PM

Changed the power steering fluid and rotated the tires.

It's about that time of year, well I should have done this a few weeks ago but better late then never.

BMB063 · 06-11-2016, 07:10 PM

Took it to Timmayfest!

Hacksaw · 06-11-2016, 11:11 PM

Gliptone conditioned all the interior leather bits... smells delicious now.
