What did you do to your car today?

E30_335i · 07-19-2016, 12:06 PM

Made a block off plate with two ducts. One for brakes, one for supplemental engine bay cooling.

Enzo's330i · 07-19-2016, 02:27 PM

Purchased the TORQ 10FX Random Orbital Polisher Kit (Well worth the money)
Removed 95% of the imperfections, swirls, and minor scratches

Within the last week:

Fully compounded/ polished / sealed/ waxed
Oil and Filter Change
3M Tints (35% upfront, 25% Rear)

Absolutely loving this car

Installed the new shift knob and sleeve along with the e-brake sleeve unit. I love the alacantra feel! I also installed the leather CF interior trim from the E92 M3. I'm in the process of wrapping my steering wheel trim to match the center console and rear console in light blue matching the BMW blue.

absolutely nothing. garage kept because we tend to use the other car (not on purpose just convenience sake). hey, saving mileage i guess.

Looking good! I have the exact same car in storage. Still a blast to drive when I take it out even though it's not boosted she still goes.

Thank you! It was certainly inconvenient. Any new plans for the car? I forgot do you have a tune on yours right now?

Remove this baby.

Where did you route the engine bay duct?

Ruddigger · 07-19-2016, 09:44 PM

Installed the AA tune and drove it.

The Simon tool is a bit wonky, it wont let me reset my adaptations, but the tune itself seems pretty good. No error codes, car runs great, and the power is definitely improved with the 3 stage intake manifold and tune.

made a dodgy bracket to hold my satnav in a place I wanted it:

Looks good from that angle. Have you looked at Kuda?

Sorry about the US link. German company, I'm sure you can find an EU link.

Fundguy1 · 07-21-2016, 08:04 AM

Getting rear quarters stretched, rolled, and new wheels put on.

Teufel_Hunden · 07-21-2016, 07:44 PM

Washed her and fed her

Willsbma · 07-21-2016, 09:16 PM

Rear 335 brakes finally, good timing too as the light came on the other day. Nothing like the front, but I like having the larger, matching calipers and rotors show through the wheels.

John 070 · 07-22-2016, 08:01 AM

I sent the insurance agent an email asking to drop the collision on it, would save $35/mo.

I'm running the AA tune for catless headers.

Sure, plenty of projects in the queue now. Just finished another weight reduction job, swapping the massive and heavy stock bumper bars with a carbon / kevlar M3 bumper bar in front and a a Euro-spec 330i bar in the rear, for almost 25# off the ends of the car.

I'm designing a new front belly-pan / splitter after puncturing the original part. I bought a surplus Tegris splitter from a Nascar team to repurpose for the E91, like this:

Fundguy1 You get those new wheels on yet? I'm dying to see what they look like mounted! I was looking at some very similar wheels!
