Oh guess I should explain the spoon thing

I tried the razor trick to get the reflectors off.. Broke the razor blade into little sharp shards. Have a few minor cuts to prove that point lol!

Tried the 3M remover (aka goo be gone) trick, made a mess, would never do that again.

Spoons ftw!

I stuck 1 spoon under the bottom of the reflector as deep as I could get it

Stacked the second spoon on top of it

Stacked the 3rd spoon on top of both of them.

Pushed it back like a crowbar

BANG! off in like 30 seconds, then I used the razor to peal the old 3M stuff off and used my dremel's buffer to clean the area before I slapped the corner delete on. So that being said, if you ever need to remove them, buy some cheap walmart spoons!

David1 · 03-18-2011, 09:20 AM

I heated mine up with a hair dryer to get them off.

Das M · 03-18-2011, 10:17 AM

Hairdryer for the win. That's what I did on my old 335.

didnt even need to use the hair dryer.

Plus I am a single guy, hair dryers do not exist around my apartment.

Hey Ohio guys, just signed up. I figure this is as good a place as any to say hello.

I've got an '06 TB SS now. I'm trying to sell that so I can pick up a 335xi.

Chewy734 · 03-20-2011, 09:34 AM

Hey man. Welcome to the forums!

The 335 is quite a different beast than the TB SS

JaSSon · 03-20-2011, 07:20 PM

They are different. I really like my SS, but I'm going stir crazy driving it. I HAVE to have a manual transmission.

El Duderino · 03-21-2011, 12:18 PM

Welcome, where are ya in Columbus?

JaSSon · 03-24-2011, 05:04 AM

I'm in Reynoldsburg.

Hey, any of the local Ohio guys, I posted this in the FS thread for the site but want to post this herefor you guys to see in case you want to pick it up. Let me know if this is an unrealistic price for an M3 wheel that looks brand new....

M3 Tri-Stitched Steering Wheel for MT or Non-paddle Automatic

Bought this and was going to put it on my E90 but decided to not mess with it. It looks like new, not a mark on it. Comes with the airbag bracket and airbag wiring. $300 local pickup, ready to go now!

Chewy734 · 03-30-2011, 04:15 PM

it's snowing again here... not just flurries either.

BobKingerman · 03-30-2011, 05:20 PM

At least I still have my snow tires on but otherwise I thought this was done with.

Chewy734 · 03-30-2011, 06:22 PM

3" so far, and still falling hard.

mad_max · 03-31-2011, 07:20 AM

I'm still on my snow tires because Alufelgen is out of stock. Looks like it's not too bad that I had to wait.

Chewy734 · 03-31-2011, 09:01 AM

which ones did you get?

mad_max · 03-31-2011, 01:03 PM

I'm getting the SF71s. But I have to wait till late May.

Chewy734 · 03-31-2011, 01:07 PM

sweet! Those look awesome! what finish?

mad_max · 03-31-2011, 03:11 PM

Playing it safe and going with Silver.

BobKingerman · 03-31-2011, 03:49 PM

Seems like most sites are back ordered on wheels. I have to wait til early may for my VMRs. With the weather we've been having it doesn't look like much of an issue running snows til then.

SpeedBuggy · 03-31-2011, 09:39 PM

Was hoping the snow was done, just put on Style 197's with summer tires Tuesday and the wife made it home Wednesday just before 2-3 inches fell. Is this winter ever going to end?

BobKingerman · 03-31-2011, 10:10 PM

Installed the JB4 and its like unleashing a beast. Can't wait for the meets to start up so I can blast through some twisties.
