I tried that Wipe New stuff on some plastic trim pieces that were looking faded. It worked excellent on my side mirror trim. I recommend taping off the area, it will stick to everything when it dries. The chemicals in it are really strong and bad smelling too. It probably melts the plastic to make it shiny lol.

Mounted and balanced my summer set up. They're Apex SM-10's with Continental ExtremeContact Sports. 18x8.5 w/ 245/35R18 up front and 18x10 w/ 285/30R18 in the rear. Stock M-sport suspension has no rubbing either! The fronts can use a spacer, and it's urging me to do a stud conversion looking at my lugs. Also, I know the sidewall is a bit thin for some, however, it was needed for the widths and fitment I wanted.

Haha it’s cool. They’re ok. I don’t notice them anymore.

Started swapping out the dash yesterday.
Black/gray->Black/black.

Spent a good 30-45 min cleaning the new dash. It’s hard to tell but you can see it was pretty dirty.(right side was cleaned)

Did you use a guide? I have seen a few, but none have worked for me so far. Assuming you did not buy the maps from BMW.

That's for sure. In the 20 years I have been here, it has grown immensely!

First, get you some plastic trim removal tools if you don't have any. They are pretty cheap from Harbor Freight but can be had at any auto store for pretty cheap as well.

Second, have a some kind of razor blade to cut sealant on the foam door barrier.

The only things to unplug to get the door panel off are the elec connector to the window button, the elec connector to the door lock, and the interior door handle cable.

Make sure to unhook the interior door cable from the door lock and take off the little metal door lock rod. It pulls straight out. It will take a little force but it will pop out (it will snap into the new one as well). The only other items to remove from the door lock is the wiring to the window (2 tabs) and the cable from the outer door handle. You can look inside the door and see it on the back side of the lock. it literally pops in and out of place...just line up the grooves.

Take the 3 black torx screws off and maneuver it out. Install in reverse order.

Only pro tip to offer is make sure to take your 3 torx screws and thread them into the new door lock while it is out of the car. You have to self tap the holes with the existing screws. Much harder when you're trying to thread them and hold the lock in place.

Hope that all made sense lol

Northeast Murfreesboro. I drive into Nashville to the office. Enjoying the lack of traffic on I-24 lately.

I'm actually not from Philly. I lived there for 4 years and prior to that I was in St Louis and a few other places. When I did live there I was in the old North Philly (not the gentrified North Philly), then moved out to West Oak Lane and finally Elkins Park. I'm essential staff so I can't duck the virus. I'm on the front lines. Be safe and productive.
