Once the rain season is over here in the Bay Area, will need to get the car cleaned.

Looks good, you need a Quick-Jack system, would have made the job much easier!

Washed it and installed this new front lip.....just wish the lighting was better.

I just painted my calipers with a $6 rattle can from Autozone as I replaced my rotors and pads. Painted it while it was installed on the old rotors not worrying about overspray the night before, and did the brake job the next day when it was almost dried.

Got the alignment done today, feels much better. Before it felt like the car was drifting from side to side.

All I can think of which I did in addition.

Those sound good too. I will knock those out. One thing I forgot were the headlight washers. I need to do those. Thanks.

Will the sunroof close even if the vehicle is off when raining? Alarm add?

Good question, with car Off... have not tried. Added alarm and coded but recommended and simple add.

Good luck!

Washed / Clayed / Waxed

Baby smooth

zackkcaz25 · 03-07-2019, 06:57 PM

Replaced 3 coils with new, and a spark plug that seems to be fouled with fuel.

N54Society · 03-07-2019, 10:27 PM

Hit the big 8-0. Lol. All maintenance is taken care of so mileage is meaningless at this point.

Really only an easy add for alarm if your car is pre-wired. Usually you can tell by looking at your rear view mirror. If you have the big red clown nose on the bottom, you are probably pre-wired. Then you could add the alarm and code it. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

Installed the Highperformancebulbs.com LED interior kit today. Couldn't be happier. Plus the ghost BMW logo LED's...

NathanK24 · 03-07-2019, 11:29 PM

Installed driver's sport seat. Will get to passenger tomorrow. Had to tap in to power pin 9 on each seat to add pin 7 since the seats I bought were pre 03/2007 build (to get power bolsters and lumbar working). Also had to make some modification to cushioning because it was uneven in the middle back section. Next step is to code out active headrest because my car is LCI.

True, I forgot, and guess I assumed that was the case of all US cars, or at-least mine was.

Previous owner had the BMW alarm installed in 2006. He told me he never coded the vehicle before and had no clue about coding, but the windows go up and down with remote and fogs stay on with high beams already.

He was stationed overseas and built it in Germany.

I agree. Without knocking anyone's decision, I simply don't think the lines match. I mean it's from a different car after all.
