Paid it a visit at the dealership. Pothole ruined my rim, tire, xenon light assembly, and strut. I can't wait to give the f30 loaner back. After a week in the f30, I can't understand the direction BMW is going. The car floats, the steering is light regardless what mode your in. The brakes don't have that bite my E90 has.

Nothing much... I haven't opened the hood in a while and removed a bunch of dead leaves from the gutter-type things (and I mean a bunch ).

I wish. It's coming from Sweden, arriving around the 20th… However, it's so cold that I'd be afraid I snap plastic clips removing the current one.

I did nothing to it today. I love not having to do anything to it. It could use a detail though, maybe next week.

This week I did my front pads, rotors and brake fluid flush. The pads weren't that old, but when I put my winter tires on I noticed that the rotors were really worn and the edges were flaking off. I think they were the original rotors.

Also put in ~100L of washer fluid. Damn headlight washers.

I need to do both my wifes VW (pads and possibly rotors) and my pads (the dealership put some bullshit pads on from when I bought it) so need to switch to ceramic pads..

Finally installed my ER CP, Forge DV's, and AFE Stg2 sealed intake.

I haven't noticed much of an increase in power from the butt dyno, but the car sounds a bit more throaty now. It's not as loud as a DCI would be, but it's just a slight notch louder than stock.

Combined with my already subdued BMW PE, my car now sounds PERFECT. Quiet 90% of the time, but loud when I want it to be.
