What did you do to your car today?

nuron · 03-14-2021, 06:35 PM

Replacement side mirror finally came from Texas. Ordered blue glass from eBay and swapped it in. Realized that my mirrors were heated only, and the heated and auto dimming mirrors had different wiring so I was able to swap out the new pieces onto my existing side mirror structure to retain the wiring.

Also gave it a wash since it was out of commission for two weeks.

It's supposed to snow a little tomorrow.

Haha, did the same here, rain in the forecast

I made the ripped part of the bottom of the bumper come off for the 1700th time.. eventually I'll have to figure out a fix for this or get a lip.

Replaced the VCG, did most of the vacuum lines, DCI and Oil CC. Hoping my oil leak in the back of the motor is gone.

lordbmw · 03-14-2021, 08:48 PM

I drove it

E93_Savage · 03-14-2021, 08:57 PM

Drove with my arc8s and rsrr's and realized i sound like a airplane going down the highway. They are LOUD...

Lmao. That was me when I put on my pilot sport a/s 3. They weren't very quiet. Glad it has Indy 500s now

Could do drift stitching for a temporary fix, or be like me and get a front lip to cover the damage 😳

Danohz · 03-14-2021, 11:04 PM

Drove over a nail

taking it in tomorrow to see if they can fix it, it’s a decent sized nail but looks to be under the maximum for what my local tire shop fixes.

The lip sounds like a good idea lol. I tried melting the plastic on the inside together but whatever that's made of doesn't like to melt together, kind of iffy about eBay lips though

DP420 will get that stuck together for good

we use that shit for everything in FSAE lmao

If you do go this route, scuff the inside with 40grit for the best bond strength. It's proper structural epoxy though, worlds above any super glue or gorilla glue.

This is going to look awesome! Apparently the boot lid is a bit of a mare to install

When we have a randomly warm day at the beginning of spring like last week my snow tires sound like an airplane.

I bet you the ebay aero style lip would mount up okay. Mine's an ebay acs style, same material. Jons solution doesn't sound too bad either

2one3E90 · 03-15-2021, 01:14 PM

Disas and starter

2one3E90 · 03-15-2021, 01:50 PM

Drilled small screws on both sides of the tear and used zip ties on my previous 2011 335i.

Vacuum lines, DCI look nice. Nice to see others have as many missing screws/bolts on the cowl and engine cover as my car did (previous owners/mechanics). I've replaced the ones I can.
