About 3 weeks ago did oil change and spent about 2 hours getting to the VANOS solenoids and cleaning them.. Next is plugs, cabin filter (might go the BMS cowl filter route?) and address a squeaking noise when braking..

I tried a few different 17mm sockets. A 3/8 in drive one that wouldn't do it. Then a combo wrench 17mm couldn't get it. But a 1/2 in deep wall 17mm grabbed it easy. I picked up the 1/2 in drive ratchet today and that's what finally did it.

Got into a little accident my passenger fender cracked and I think my door could possibly gent dent removal and needs a polish to remove some scuff. I feel lucky noone was hurt and it was minor. Hurts my ego seeing her like that though.

Just finished up putting 6 new plugs in and 2 new VANOS Solenoids.

Also installed a M3 replica spoiler.

Was getting a random limp mode while traveling long distances, was really strange. Tried cleaning them but that didn't seem to fix the issue.

Next week is new rotors, pads, brake flush, and going to paint my Calipers a nice glossy blue.

Going to get around to doing my T-Stat one day, been running for about 25k on a dead one,

Did the rear fog light mod and painted my finishing rods black on the lower front bumper. I have the standard non M-Sport front bumper. Then got real motivated and threw down a coat of Collinite 845 on both the Three and moma's X5.

53,000. Some may say overkill, but I'm planning on a pretty long road trip and i'm a paranoid driver!

Fitment is spot on. Almost to the point of not needing double sided tape
