Yah, nah. Mine is just that dull gray with some white flakes here and there. Purple would be cool.

Yes, thanks... that's where I got the 15A from. There weren't any 20A there though. And the fuse card location card was missing as well which annoys me to no end!!! |

I'm a completist, so get an OCD itch if something isn't there!
But score today at the Pick-a-Part: L & R actuators, expansion tank, fuses, and yes, a fuse card!!! Thank you little 128i for giving of yourself so that my 330i may live! |

Clogged Drains + Rain = Blown Amp
It finally happened to me. H20 got into left rear trunk where the Logic7 amp is located and shorted out. Sounded like a bolt of lightening from Thor though the speakers when it blew. I pulled the amp out (thank you Bavarian engineers for making the trunk panels so hard to remove), took it apart and confirmed there was corrosion on the signal processing card. The amp card itself looks fine. Just spent some quality time with the corroded card, soft toothbrush and some CRC circuit board cleaner gently scrubbing the corrosion off. Nothing looks fried, but who knows. Its drying now. We'll see if I come up lucky. If not, we'll see what eBay has to offer.
Has anyone ever drilled a drainhole through the body in the amp well for drainage? Am debating doing so and installing a small one way valve.

Put the Logic7 amp back together and plugged it in. Stereo turns "on" and looks like it functions, but zero sound. Not even a door chime. Only positive is that the "SOS [phone]" icon is no longer showing as a fault on start up. Sigh.....

Aaaaand success! Two new fuses and a passenger door actuator put me back in business!
Even had time to do a quick detail wipe down! |

Well done, and beautiful car. Not easy to find a 330, and such a great car and looks to be in great condition.

Gave the car a good wash and replaced the kidney grills with a glossy black pair. Looks great, but stripped one of the front bumper torx bolts in the process as it seems someone overtightened it far more than the others. Well, it was a pain, but we got it out eventually. Gotta order a new one now.

Little introduction, I've been a part of this forum for so long but never really posted. In the last few months I purchased my very first e90. I always loved the body style and interior. I already own a 135 6MT and wanted another n54 as a daily. I know, I'm asking for trouble but I love the N54 so much that I had to have two. lol Anyway this weekend I washed the e90 as it was much needed. It's already got a nice coat of green on it but here it is in all it's glory. I'll have to fix the rear tint but so far I've done black kidneys and 328xi front splitters along with maintenace.

Wasn't my current car but the remnants of one of my parts cars. Took a good E92 power heated sport black interior that was in great shape and threw it in the landfill. Broke my heart after trying to give it away for weeks. Sigh

And then I washed it. I think it looks pretty good for an '08. Then because I still had the wash gear out I washed my truck.
