I think I've got an addiction

I had a good reason to wash it today (again).

Yesterday, it rained twice. The first time it rained(while I was going to work), the water wouldn't stay on the paint since the paint was sleek/slick because of the waxes and the sun wasn't out.

After a few hours, the sun came out. Then it started to rain again anddddd the sun came back out 🤣

The rainwater plus all the dirt/dust mixed and dried on the paint and made the car look ugly.

So, I couldn't sleep and it was 6 am. Around 52 degrees outside.

I went ahead and gave it a bath.. again

I should wash my car at 6 am more often. It's so quiet, peaceful, and you can get a good view of the sunrise (Kinda). Plus, the cool early morning breeze is just something else.

Call me crazy, but I feel so much more energetic for some reason

it's a fact that sunlight in your eyes tells the rest of your body it's time to do things, so getting outside first thing in the day tends to have that effect.

Which engine do you have? If N55 I recommend doing BMW's oil priming procedure, which will crank the engine over without firing the injectors to prime the oil pump. Usually oil starvation will happen right away, not something that will just happen randomly.

Bought a full set of e92 pre lci tails because I'd rather keep my beat up ones as spares to mess with and it was too good of a deal to pass up.

Also pulled the rear quarter window on the e46 to attempt to "rejuvenate" the window seal although it doesn't even seem bad, no idea why it leaks then..

Continuing with the de-Cragslistifying of the 325i. Got the cheesy Taiwan belly pan and transmission cover installed, they fit like OJ's glove. They fit tho, had to angle the screws in at various degrees to catch the clip nuts under some of the holes, but it lined up well enough that they all went in. I'm dreaming of Efthreeoh aluminum tray but in the meantime at least it's not nekkid down there.

Replaced the stained and corroded side view mirrors, that was one of the easier replacements, pop them off, unplug the heater wires, plug them in and snap them back into the housing.

Replaced the chipped and worn shift knob with a OEM lightly used one from ebay. The little touches like these are slowly erasing 16 yrs worth of shabbiness.

And last but not least, removed the bubbled tint from the rear window and side rears. This job sucks, my arms are aching from all the contortions it takes to get this sh!t off. I parked in the sun and used a heat gun but it still left most of the adhesive on the glass, that came off with copious scrubbing with degreaser and isopropyl.

Oops.







Not my car and I made a big mistake. Dropped the wrench perfectly between the two battery terminals while it was in the car. Fully charged battery. It made quite the scene.

Car is perfectly okay with no damage. No one got hurt. Lesson: always cover one of the battery terminals when working with both exposed and you're wrenching one down.

This is the worst case of that I have ever seen wow. We had a guy in school that did something similar but his bracelet got hit too and burned himself as the positive terminal of the battery on the Cessna 172 is like half a foot from the engine mounts.
