Did the airbag replacement, and added the alignment for $149....don't trust Firestone and the indie where I want to get the Pilot Super Sports mounted still doesn't do alignments. Sorry just don't trust Firestone and figured I could knock this out while the dealer already has my car...since I haven't picked it up yet hopefully they have the printout...

Replaced my upper radiator hose (small leak, like a drop a day) after completing it, I looked at the old hose, it's completely fine and I think the guy before me didn't put it on all the way....

I took some pictures of the lights the other night. Did rear brakes on a buddies XI(pads and rotors), replaced both intake and exhaust solenoids on the E90. Coded some stuff.

Pictures:

Just a run down of the different colors the demon eyes can do. Absolutely no use for this modification but it was inexpensive so yeah. Also it's hard to see from the picture but the cut off is MUCH sharper and MUCH more colorful(fancy new lenses). The camera does not pick up on the color at all but does show the sharp cut off. I can see significantly better at night. Part of that is also probably do to the new HID CBI bulbs.







This is not all of the colors but most of them. There are some in betweens etc and some just did not come out good with my cell phone camera. The camera also washes out the color a bit they are more vibrant in person and it does not have to be at night to see them very clearly:



















Like this one is a better example of how they look. The angel eye did not wash the color out as much with my oh so amazing cell phone camera:




There is a Yellow and then a 'Gold' yellow color if that makes any sense:






You can see a sliver of light on the top left of the headlight by the eye brow. The inside is so bright with the angel eyes any opening shows a lot of light escaping. I am going to play around and see what I can do to stop it. Might just be as simple as a clean surface and some electrical tape.



Meth is installed and flowing. Here is a picture of the gauge. Both the boost and meth gauge are angled to the driver hard to see in the picture but in person it is noticeable. I like them in the vents vs. PODs on the steering wheel on dash which I hate the look of personally. I also can't stand my instrument cluster being blocked.

Changed the rear differential fluid at 63k miles and the old fluid still looked good. No records of it being replaced before so I'm assuming it's the factory fill. I used the red HF transfer pump and was able to extract ~700ml. Used the same pump and refilled with 800ml of Mobil 1 75w90 before it spilled out of the fill hole.

Ordered the part the dealer broke so I can fix it on Sat. It was my lucky day as they're shipping the part as warranty. When they get the old part back I get a credit. Dealer claims it was already broken when I went in. There are lies, and then there are bold faced lies. Don't worry, they're about to get hit like a freight train through legal means.

Front brake job today.
Stoptech slotted rotors
Bosch Euroline pads

Less initial bite vs Oem. If doing it again, would have been better prepared and got some SS lines and Centric 105 compound Posi-Quiet pads a memeber suggested here.

Got my PE exhaust installed. Only drove it down the street to work but it sounds great. Significantly louder and I have the exhaust burble on duration .5s & max aggressiveness and it sounds ridiculously loud. People were turning their heads. I think I am going to have to tone it down. I didn't get a chance to get it above 4.5k but it sounded much better than the stock exhaust.

Daytime pictures as requested. Again there are a ton of colors and inbetweens so I just took a bunch of photos. For example see the greens(light, medium, dark):








































I really like the LCI style turn signals that are blacked out:



The camera on my phone messes up heads on photos of these I think because of how bright the angel eyes are:










Again they look better in person. My cell phone might as well be a potato. I could probably mess with the settings as it is a Note 5 but nobody aint got no time fo that.


Good by E91 with a slow ass N52 Hello E70 X5 with the N57:

It will be getting a JBD tune which should add 50whp and 100WTQ from what it looks like. Should be a peppy SAV to drive.
