They are called kerbs. Usually not so loose

Dang, you did it yourself? Props!

No mobile service did it on my driveway lol

But if you have the tools it's not as bad as it looks honestly.

OTC makes some really nice, high quality tools.

Detailed, claybared and applied Klasse sealant.

F30lolz · 05-25-2019, 06:08 PM

Absolutely nothing. Took the 320i to Orlando while the 335 stayed home

lordbmw · 05-25-2019, 08:59 PM

Washed it put on some spray on wax.
Looks pretty good I think.

mweisdorfer · 05-25-2019, 09:17 PM

Re-greased the caliper pins. I have ECS Tuning brass caliper sleeves. So, you have to re-grease them 1x a year.

Changed the brake fluid with new Amsoil Dot 4. Used my Mitivac air compressor tool. I love that thing. Then bleed the brakes.

Changed 3 power steering lines and re-did the power steering fluid. They were weeping a little. Car is at 163,000. Better safe than sorry. I use Amsoil ATF in my power steering. Have been for 80,000 miles. No issues.

samy0415 · 05-25-2019, 10:48 PM

Out and about

S65Hunter · 05-26-2019, 12:26 AM

Nothing to my car.....but went for a ride in a kit car that my buddy/co worker just finished building.

x5 2003 owner need some honest referral for a tech/beemer expert for repair of my x5

Nicholas Bentley · 05-26-2019, 01:36 AM

Completed front and rear PDC retrofit. Works great. Next projects are reverse camera and maybe forward night vision camera retrofits.

NathanK24 · 05-26-2019, 08:42 AM

Installed front struts and springs. Going to do the rears today. Bilstein B8 w/ Eibach springs. New mounts and hardware too.

HeyTeeee · 05-26-2019, 02:54 PM

Couple weeks ago swapped out the injectors. Today finally wiggled the pre cat o2 sensor harness out and replaced it. Now I wash car and wait for the bees to go away so I can cut the grass

I did front PDC a few weeks ago, well worth the cost. I was thinking about doing night vision but the best way to mount the camera would be to use the e90 ACC bracket. I already have ACC so it don't have a place to put the camera.

BMW makes oem retrofit harnesses for front and rear pdc retrofits. You have to buy them from Europe.

Let me know how the ride is on these MI roads. I was thinking of going this route or Koni Yellow w/ Eibach.

My mistake, I was referring to the NV retrofit. I have PDC.

What did you have to remove in the front to get the strut to drop?
