Thoroughly cleaned and conditioned the seats I found at the junkyard for the E46. Awesome results with Jay Leno's Garage leather cleaner, way better than the Sonax I used for my car IMO.

Installed the driver seat leather, need to do the armrest and passenger seat when I get a chance. These seats are almost perfect for the age with no rips and feel so much better. Diamond in the rough

Small road rage incident, nothing major. But I'm bored and figured I'd share.

Going 30mph down a two lane road, 25mph speed limit. Jackass in a fishbowl honda civic almost drives right out in front of me from the liquor store. Couldn't have been more evident when he looked like a deer caught in the headlights as he car lurches to stop. Must have been infatuated with my ebay headlights and yellow fog lights. I proceed as he gets on the road behind me. Right lane is about to end two blocks from me. This man is very swiftly on my ass as he gets in the left lane to pass me. Judging by how far back he was when he got on the road I'd guess at least 40mph. In a 25. On a main road lined with restaurants on a Saturday night. Anyways, I need to get into the left lane and this mans being rather rude. I speed up to merge as I'm not feeling aggressive.. So he speeds up too. Naturally this results in me cutting him off and him flashing his brights at me. So I flash my rear fogs at him. We get to the stop light at the end of the street and I politely downshift next to his window as he flips me off (I was going into the turning lane by now). The end

TL;DR: I gave a sad man a taste of his own medicine, he didn't appreciate it

After a few days of steady rain and winter being on its way, I decided to give her a good detail.

Only put one layer of CMX. Going to put another layer of CMX tomorrow morning and then a layer of paste wax Tuesday.

Can't even tell she's almost 13 years old. Shines better than new!

That's a beautiful car. I may be a bit biased tho I laid some wax on my 325i today, it's supposed to be my daily driver but it's getting to the point it's looking better than my 330 Not too shabby for a 16 yr old Craigslist basket case

Drove my E93 335 6MT today for first time since breaking ankle back in June. Brake pedal was heavier than I remember, and ankle only ached a bit. My goal is to convince the physical therapist that pedal action is an acceptable substitute for the elastic band exercises he ordered me to do…..

Cleaned my intake manifold before new DISAs and gaskets arrive. Number 2 and 3 runners were really gross. Tons of goopy oil mess around the small valve hole. Somebody had a bad day with their X3 lol

Applied a second coat of CMX in the morning before work.

Can't stop looking at it

Parked like that on purpose because someone (probably the fat ass Finance Manager ) hit the passenger side door. So, there's a small "rock" chip on that door

Filled up with 100 octane. No more balls in a tin can rattling noise underload a 1000 something to 2500rpm. Wow so it really was pinging i wonder why. I did have a fcked up ccv that was blowing so much smoke and cutting power to my engine for a week. So maybe the deposits fucked it up.

^^ would love to know more as I suspect that's where I'll end up now that I've concluded the s65 swap is NOT for me.

Today's mod:


Also, washed the Louisiana off/put the touring box away:
