What did you do to your car today?

SSW · 02-09-2014, 06:56 PM

Nothing.

It's been in the garage for the past 4 days since a rain storm came in. Driving the F250 because I don't want to get the 335i dirty.

However, I'll have to pull it out in a couple of days to take it to the Body Shop so that I can get the hood filled, sanded and repainted because it has WAY too many nicks/chips put there by the prior owner.

Debadged the car, and changed the emblem from blue and white to black and white.

Speedwagon · 02-09-2014, 08:02 PM

Washed it!

ny325 · 02-10-2014, 12:26 AM

Just finished cleaning off snow, and shoveled around the rear tires. Enough already with the snow.

techietaichi · 02-10-2014, 11:57 AM

Well, one of my low beams crapped out on me today so I saw fit to get better H7's and bought a pair of Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. They look bright as hell, but I won't know how good they are until tonight. Hope that $50 price tag was worth it.

itsstock02 · 02-10-2014, 12:50 PM

looked at it in the garage before I left for work.

SSW · 02-10-2014, 02:31 PM

Ordered a set of reconditioned OEM 193M wheels and a set of new OEM TPMS sensors this morning.

Should get them all w/in a week and can them mount the brand new Michelin Pilot SS tires (that are sitting in my garage) on them.

Update 2/14/14:

Bummer! Got the new and "in the box" TMPS sensors already but the wheel shop in MN where I ordered the 193M wheels said that the had to rework one of the wheels and couldn't promise delivery before late next week, which won't allow me time to get the Michelin PSS tires on them before I go in for shoulder surgery on 2/25.

So, I canceled the order and will have to put off getting the wheels until April or May. Hopefully, they'll still have those wheels available then. Oh well . . .

ny325 · 02-14-2014, 10:56 AM

Looked at with over a foot of snow on it. Now it's time to dig it out. Thank god I saw 50 degrees next week.

SSW · 02-14-2014, 02:28 PM

Cussed at it for the hydraulic trunk supporters not working in cold weather and having the trunk fall on my head whilst getting something out of the trunk.

Did the same plus (over the last few weeks) installed the Performance short shift lever, got new BMW All Weather mats, lightly smoked the side markers and installed white LEDs, replaced the transmission mounts, installed and wired the rear console, changed oil, and washed and oiled my intake filter.

Next week I'm going to do a coolant flush and attempt to change brake fluid. The weather's been awesome, so it's been nice have some projects. Also waiting on some alcantara shift and e brake boots to come in.

ny325 · 02-16-2014, 08:56 PM

Finally took it out on the road. With so much snow recently, it was parked.

jaymesbry · 02-16-2014, 09:01 PM

Adjusted drivers door.. Woohoo finally got rid of wind noise

Benedict1957 · 02-16-2014, 09:06 PM

Wash and wax.

TitanLH8 · 02-16-2014, 09:07 PM

Oil change and rolled fenders

ny325 · 02-16-2014, 09:14 PM

Rain is in the forcast later this week. I don't think it's going to do much because the snow mountains are ridiculous. Dying to wash and wax my car.

thaar · 02-17-2014, 11:12 AM

Did some coding last week and gave it a much needed bath yesterday!

Oh and blew the doors off an older Mustang GT who wanted to play last night.
