What did you do to your car today?

My car is finally back to working as well as it was before the jump!

Thanks! I don't know much more about it. When I took it for the PPI at BMW the SA said it was a rare option. The wheels are also interesting as they are the same style that appeared on the 2011 335is, but someone shelled out big money to put them on this car. Altogether with the manual trans and good condition paint/interior I had to have it.

Happy to hear your car is fixed! Hopefully the frm wasn't too much $$$.

I fixed that for you

Did you put the seats on a scale? How much weight can be saved compared to stock?

Interesting, I wonder why such a lovely option is "rare". Perhaps a little more upkeep than normal is necessary?

Anyway though, awesome find and it's definitely a keeper! Glad to see you're enjoying it through and through!

As for my FRM, my Indy shop had my back and managed to get it covered under my warranty--even though it's not really supposed to cover it (even if it was partly their fault for blowing mine out in the first place). All in all, out of pocket, I believe it would've costed me about $600-$700 at my shop. At the Stealership, with coding, probably about $1,000. Hell, it cost almost $200 just to get my CA programmed with my two key fobs. >.>

So I'm very fortunate, because I certainly don't have the kind of money to waste for such an issue at the moment.

Yes, I was warned that dyes like denim will transfer. Still I wear jeans everyday heh. Apparently the leather is more porous.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet on the FRM!

Hahahaha.. I would've sure took a pic just like that if it was..lol.

pratan158 · 05-19-2015, 11:46 AM

Havent scale it but definitely a lot lighter. The seat itself is very light. The heavy part is seat rail. I would say its about 30lbs less than oem seat

Replaced rear window cover. Old was rotten at the corners. I'm happy

Jashley73 · 05-21-2015, 07:44 PM

It happened yesterday, but I installed a ZHP weighted shift-knob. Feels so good, now I be like...

However, big mistake... I love the way the leather feels on my hand, and now i want a steering wheel wrapped in the same leather to match... Anyone have any suggestions?

dave4 · 05-21-2015, 07:57 PM

Changed the spark plugs, oil, and engine air filter at 101k miles. Been putting off the work for about 4 weeks and finally had time to do them. All in all little over one hour with help.

Normal nozzle. Just prep'd well and used many light thin coats. Made it thicker so that it would hold up better vs debris and easier to clean.

I also made sure the nozzle was always clean before a new coat, as it can build up and make the spray uneven.

Installed my new steering wheel I bought on Sunday, I'm happy with it because it was very cheap, the wheel plus the trim 140US$ aprox
