I'll see what I've got for a multi-purpose cleaner and do it again, though, I trust the seller's cleaning abilities as much as I trust his comments about how it was "always dealer serviced and fully up to date on maintenance" |

Took advantage of the mild winter weather lately to give it a long overdue wash. It was baked in dirt and salt to the point where neither license plate was even visible anymore, lol.
Waxed and sealed it, cleaned up the interior and conditioned the trim/dashboard/door panels as well. Should be protected for the next few months now...163k miles and counting!

Hahaa, was seeing if anyone would notice. In the process of converting from 6at to dct and had to decide what to do about the rear diff. Options were sourcing a 2.56 from a dct car and having a lsd installed. That would give me a expensive setup with a weak input shaft. Next option was running an m3 setup and having 2.81 gears installed which are nearly impossible to find and expensive to install. 3rd option was to go custom. Found out the gen 6 camaro ss with the 8sp run a 2.77 rear diff with a clutch type lsd and internal cooler. Found one on ebay, built custom mounts and have custom stage 5 shafts being built. |

camaro diff is a sweet setup.
I know there'res people doing 8.8 diffs as well, how does the camaro diff stand up in terms of strength? 8.8s, properly setup, are about 95% of the way to a 9" in terms of NFG abuse taking. |

They havent been out for a long time like the 8.8 or 9" but they seem to be pretty stout pieces. There are several gen 6 ss camaros in the deep 8's running them with littlest or no modifications. The key for me was the super low gear ratio needed with the 7 spd dct. This will be the first in a bmw but i dont forsee any major issues.

apparently it's pretty easy to hit 250+ in the diff after a few laps. |

Had Blizzak LM-25 winter tires mounted on stock 17" tims. Apparently my TPM sensor cores were starting to corrode, so tech replaced them, plus driver front sensor itself. That sensor threw a code driving home, but shop will gladly fix sometime soon. If anyone needs work in southeast MI, Vast performance (Ferndale) is a pleasure to work with. They do a lot of tuning as well.

Ordered a water pump and thermostat after mine decided to go out a few days before Christmas travel...
Hoping to have this done by Saturday! Luckily I recognized it before overheating and ran the codes after hearing my radiator fan run like a diesel truck. All part of the E9X experience

Took off all 4 corners and detailed the wheel barrels and wheel well. Holiday PTO + boredom + a bit of OCD will do that to ya!

Finally got around to installing my front bumper smoked reflectors that I have had for two months. Originally I went out to do it when I got them and seemed like too much hassle, finally got em on last night and they look much better!!

Cleaned out the F80 oil cooler and radiator of leaves, styrofoam and bumble bees using the Husky grabber tool. It also has a LED light built in at the grabber end. Pretty awesome find for $8!
