What did you do to your car today?

M-technik-3 · 01-08-2023, 03:11 PM

Climbed under the Touring today to get my overdue oil change done noticed a new fluid on the ground thought that's odd must be frost dripping down. Completed it and took it for quick ride around block. Been watching game anway looked out and seen a bigger wet spot under the car....@#$% upper radiator hose flange is split and leaking. Damn was not expecting that.

Placing FCP order now.

We had a nice somewhat sunny day in Northern Indiana today. Took the E90 335 off the battery tender and went for a Sunday drive.

135K mile oil change on the E91 and replaced a very old and corroded grounding strap (down low). Now to determine when I overhaul the suspension bushings and control arms, in my own garage or at an independent shop - did two of these jobs on two other cars last year...tired.

I love seeing an E91 in it’s natural habitat! The way it should be.

A little more trimming and clear coat needed. There will be a slight overlap at the front, but everything will be flush when secured. Much needed for my other aggressive parts ��

RealJ22 · 01-10-2023, 05:14 PM

Headliner went black.

Also picked up hardware so I can secure my front lip

It's about time you put on a sport wheel fazm

Vulcan50 · 01-10-2023, 08:02 PM

Finished rewrapping my trim, I tried some adhesion promoter for the trouble areas. If it lifts again I’m going to try new vinyl type.

Where did you get the lip?

It’s a modified m3 lip. Pretty cheap construction wise.

What paint are you using for the headliner?

My rear parcel shelf looks purple from sun discoloration and this would be a quick fix.

Duplicolor vinyl and trim paint. Works great.

Please tell me about your shifter set up. I want to do something similar. It looks amazing!

Those parts I cut out myself. I will update the photos / install tomorrow. Did some other things today.

I'm debating trimming one spot or having a slight "Edge". Either way, I think it will look good.

Are you comfortable with permanent mods! It’s pretty in depth. Just kidding I’ve checked out your build thread. Should take you like 10 minutes. I’ll link the thread, I don’t have the pictures any longer. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1402743

The knob I used was a 90s Honda thread. Mostly because of the quantity and availability of styles of knob. That said I reshaped the knob quite a bit.

I also have a thread about the start button relocation.

What did you do for the surround? I really like surround area.

Have not decided if I want to do a manual or DCT swap and this is perfect for the time being.

That’s what I figured. Great work. I need to find a spare one because my wood is “rare” lol.

k90 · 01-12-2023, 04:31 PM

Couple days of +0C weather so I gave the engine a bubble bath three times. Used the same stuff that goes into ultrasonic cleaner + foamer gun for pressure washer. As OFHS has been sorted out now there should not be major leaks.

Should have removed the airbox and then covered the intake pipe + maf connector with plastic bag and tape to wash the front of the engine better.
