Cleaned and vacuumed all interior, took baby seats out got all the stuff out of the car. Treated the leather, washed all mats including trunk rubber mat. Then hand washed outside.
Replaced battery with a autozone duralast gold h6-dlg and registered with inpa.

Felt like a productive day.

Nah it would look fine, just something to make interior different and it compliments the trim too

Drove my e91 over to my parents house. While I was there I coded some stuff on my moms car with my Carly box and snapped a pic of them together. I just wish both cars were clean.

I put in a newer AHL headlight on the passenger side. I just transferred the ballast & AHL modules over to the newer headlight. I had a leak in my original 13 year old one.

While I was in there, I updated my angle eyes to LUX v7, and put in new, LED H7's in my inner lamps. They are rated at 6500k. I think had the MTech v4 in there since 2011, for the angle eyesz The inner lamps only turn on when I'm making a right or left hand turn anyways, but the bulbs have been in there for a while, and they are considerably easier to change out when the headlights are out of the car.

I also updated my OEM from 2007 HID lamps to :7000k OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Boost D1S Xenon Car Headlight Bulbs (Twin) 66140CBB-HCB.

I can update with pics in a couple days.

Removed all the trunk lining so that tomorrow I can start the Bilstein B8 + H&R sport spring install. It's a huge PITA to remove the required trunk panels to gain access to the shocks in an e93

You can cheat a little if you open the top half way to lift the compartment cover. Still a lot of push pins though.
