I installed a BMS/CPE charge pipe since my stock one committed suicide.

Also changed spark plugs while I was at it.

Here are pics of the deceased, RIP:

Serum light is incredible. Not for the beginner, but it does an amazing job. Car looks awesome!

Put in a new 3 stage IM with Dan Bilzerian's much appreciated help. Always makes the job go quick with an extra pair of hands around.

Going to see Haas tomorrow to get the 330 tune flashed. Good times.

I changed out my air filter and checked power steering fluid level. I've ordered some pentison chf 11s for the car, as it has active steering the reservoir was low, I think it will use ever so slightly more than average.

Put the 330 map on the e91, some good improvement there. Looking forward to some more tweaks to this tune in the near future. Thanks Haas!

Did some touch up paint for a dent. I used rusto Titanium Silver, looks better I suppose.

Siphoned my old power steering fluid and refilled using pentison chf 11s. The steering does feel slightly lighter and smoother although I haven't driven it for very long.

What's your opinion on leatherique and would you recommend it? I currently use Autoglym leather cleaner and Autoglym leather conditioner. I'm looking for a slightly stronger cleaning product for my leather seats.

It's been years since I used Leatherique on one of my previous BMWs (which actually had vinyl seats). So my only real impression is on the E90. The seats went from shiny to matte. But don't expect the product to cover up scratches or creases in the leather. It also won't makes leather bumpy again if it's all flattened out. It simply feels a little more supple and looks matte again. Hope it stays that way for some time because I broke quite a sweat!

Having the oil conditioner step first allows it to get into the leather and work the contaminants out. Just add heat!
