What did you do to your car today?

Jessbecause · 05-09-2020, 08:33 AM

New belt, tensioner pulley, and oil filter after the seal on the oil filter failed. At least I finally got my new floor mats today.

Needs a serious detail though after parking next to asshole after asshole.

Not usually a fan of the majority of wheels on the e90's out there but these I like.

The hub centres were very rusty to the point of leaving runny rust stains on my wheels. Cleaned them with a hammer and small chisel and a wire wheel attached to a drill then painted with some left over high temp paint I had knocking around.

Also replaced the handbrake shoes and cleaned everything. The rear discs were rusted on so a real pain to get off without damaging them.

They came out looking good. Did you put anti-seize on the hubs to keep your wheels from sticking again? One of the cheapest "upgrades" that pays back the best dividends you can make on a car with hub-centric wheels like the E90.

If you don't have anti sleeze you can just use a light coating of grease on the back of the wheels

Contrary to TIS, I did put a bit of anti seize between the hub and the back of the disc, just around the centre ring where it usually sticks, I don't usually but the handbrake's been sticking and want to make sure I've cured it, if not the disc will come off again easier. When fitting the wheels I keep the wheel and hub mating surfaces clean and just a bit of anti seize around the ring where it seats.

Too cold to work on car still.. ordered bunch of stuff for future sunny weekends. May they come soon!

-OFHG and bolts (noticed a bit of weeping on intake side)
-PCV breather hose (because I'm a glutton for punishment and probably didn't get it on right last year.. no codes but I have suspicions)
-Aluminum pedals (because of boredom mostly)

I looped the TCU to stop an SOS that popped up due to me swapping the OEM unit out for a single din Sony. 😏 Sounds way better.

colorado.e9x · 05-09-2020, 08:35 PM

Parts for my exhaust are slowly trickling in.
Dual 2.25" -> 2.5" Y pipe
2.5" (both sides) Vibrant 1792 bottle style resonator
2.5" -> 2.75" adapter

The overall length should be the same length or slightly longer than the stock resonator, making installation fairly easy.

All's I need now is my friend to help weld them together, PE mod my 135i muffler, and then take that all to the muffler shop and have them installed and delete my secondary cats.

bimmerfan1972 · 05-09-2020, 09:46 PM

New windshield last week because I cracked the old one trying to install new molding. This week, played it a little safer and just did a wash and used a pad to do a little paint correction. Still a work in progress. Also washed the underside of my hood and dry scrubbed the engine. Also a work in progress, but getting there.

Changed spark plugs to 2 step colder plugs. No more misfire and car feels much smoother

Which plug did you get and what mods do you have?
I have 1.5 step colder but it may be time for 2.

Mods are in my signature but essentially FBO N54 with inlets. I bought 2 step colder because I plan on running E60 soon I just need the stage 2 lpfp and preferably new injectors for peace of mind

Finally got around to removing my DPF.

Tried to code power mirrors to fold when car is locked but no luck, is there more than one application on the BimmerCode that has to be applied?

Use ncs expert

F13.KENN · 05-11-2020, 03:19 AM

Did an oil change, emptied oil catch can, and put a new crankshaft position sensor in. Might put in my 70a poly trans mounts and catless downpipes tomorrow if i feel like it

OnlyDriveGerman · 05-11-2020, 09:34 AM

Cleaned the summer rims and put 3 coats of wax on each. Waiting for some anti-cease as I ran out so I can put them on and get it aligned.

If you use ncsexpert you have to choose the FRM and code spiegel_komfort_einklapp. This will allow you to close the mirrors with the key fob.
