What did you do to your car today?

dman918 · 07-31-2014, 03:31 PM

From OP: What did you do to/for your E9X today?

Me: Sold it. Yep, moved on to another car. I'll miss it but am excited to mess around with the new car.

Ok, so I'll ask "What did you buy?"

I just had the dealer change both the transmission and transfer case fluids for around $650. Although you should have the ZF trans (I have GM) and I think the pan is plastic and supposed to be replaced. Otherwise its hard to explain the difference in dealer pricing

Don't take it too seriously, personal tastes and all. I'm guessing he's just not a fan. It looks fine though IMO and it's your car so who cares. This isn't a "what do you think of what I did to my car today" thread so not sure why they would post that.

Holy crap. It takes about 45 minutes and 80 bucks of fluid to DIY

GB-335xiCoupe · 08-01-2014, 11:41 PM

First pic, I'm like DAAAAAMN, that's LOW. But then I realized your bumper cover was removed. LOL! I'll shut up and have another beer now.

Your front tire looks unevenly worn. You should check wheel alignment.

Replacing hid bulbs today. Will adjust height next week. Going to the body shop to get rid of some dents and a wax job the week after that. Exciting

e92_enthusiast_1 · 08-02-2014, 11:33 AM

Troubleshooting a misfire cyl3. Swapped plugs 2 and 3 and swapped coils 1 and 3. Gonna see if it follows. My cover looks fine but I cleaned up a lot of oil from the hole and the plug. Maybe the gasket. I hope it was just that causing the issue though. Taking a break then gonna go take a cruise and test it.

UPDATE: Misfire followed the coil. Yay. Replacing it now.

Taran.J · 08-02-2014, 11:38 AM

Picking up my piano black trim today hopefully! So now no more vinyl in or on the car so I guess things are getting serious

Man, you seem to have a lot of issues... FWIW, lots of gear heads on here, myself included, suggest if you are going to replace one coil, you should replace all six coils... I know, it can be pricey. Use a magic marker to number them, and keep the old ones as spares.
Some of mine are rusty, I'm thinking of doing a mass replacement myself.
