What did you do to your car today?

Mantis_Toboggan · 07-06-2018, 05:41 PM

Tomorrow's a big day. Bought a 2011 328i at 90k about a month ago and I've finally collected all the parts to do basically all the general maintenance stuff that comes with the miles.

Here's the list:
Oil change
Transmission fluid and filter change
Transmission mount upgrade
Differential fluid change
Spark plug change
Air filter change
Coding the angel eyes as DRLs

It's going to be a long day, but I'm thinking she'll run like a top after! Thanks to the community for all the DIYs... they'll be invaluable!

Nothing crazy man, just some mounts off ECS that are a step above OEM. I have some vibration from that area, I'm hoping it's a $40 fix.

NitroKing · 07-07-2018, 08:26 PM

Washed, 2 bucket method of course

Waxed the car, after three months of engine work and successful test drive yesterday.

Walnut blasting, turbos replaced, leaking oil pan gasket replaced. All jobs that sucked.

Car runs like new though, so happy to be done with the work.

NitroKing · 07-10-2018, 02:23 PM

Wiped down with speed shine and then spray wax.

Wiped engine bay down.

This is my zen lol

S65Hunter · 07-13-2018, 11:37 PM

Where did you get your M-Sport bumper? New or used?

Tried fruitlessly to clear the DPF light 👍

JeffRichter · 07-14-2018, 04:55 PM

Had new Michelin Pilot AS3 Plus installed. Rears were down to 1/32 and fronts 2/32

str8rcn · 07-14-2018, 07:38 PM

Front end update.

Nokya Yellow Fog Light bulbs with Lamin-X Protective vinyl covers

Ebay LED Angel eyes.

Ebay painted MTech Front Lip. Not bad for basically $200 and a Saturday Afternoon.
