What did you do to your car today?

agustincuenca · 11-04-2014, 11:14 PM

I installed the front strut brace, aluminium version, BMW OEM, on my 330xi e90 2006.

Dyeraudio · 11-05-2014, 08:12 PM

A misfire in cylinder 1 led to 6 new NGK Laser plugs and coil packs......

MMMCOOKIES55 · 11-06-2014, 07:15 AM

Installed an MS-8 and center channel speaker last night... wow was that easier then I thought it would be.

Last night...

Welcome to NBA Jam · 11-08-2014, 08:01 PM

Lubed up the blower motor. It was making an annoying cricket noise. Pretty easy DIY, you don't need to remove the glovebox, but it really helps. Total of 8 screws to remove: Torx T20 and a Phillips. Sprayed some Seafoam Deep Creep on the base of the motor bearing and on the top. Noise is gone!

GB-335xiCoupe · 11-09-2014, 10:12 AM

GDL (garage door lube) works wonders for this kind of thing too.

Fred_Boosted · 11-09-2014, 10:24 AM

Multi point inspection in dealer.

Changed wiper blades, top up the fluid. Found a puncher hole on window fluid reservoir hose, tapped and treated with heat gun.

Also washed and vacuumed.

Congrats on the 100k. I'll be there in another 6k. Anyways how did you get the mph on the dash?

GB-335xiCoupe · 11-09-2014, 10:44 AM

Someone (cband) coded it for me. And it is actual speed, not this skewed +3 to 4mph BS. He (Tom) moved to the east coast.

Fundguy1 · 11-09-2014, 12:07 PM

Ordered carbon fiber roundels, not stickers.

hongsc · 11-09-2014, 02:08 PM

Had my wheels touched up by Son Tran. Looks brand new again.

335i Bubblehead · 11-09-2014, 08:35 PM

ISC coil overs, M3 control arm swap, an 8 point alignment, and healthy detail, I'm a happy guy!

335i Bubblehead · 11-09-2014, 08:38 PM

Cleaned up my brake rotors and calipers too!

spencers · 11-10-2014, 10:14 AM

Changed the 1-year old oil. Didn't hit the 7500mi mark.

Ouch, your poor engine and exhaust don't even get a chance to warm up. Or do you take a few laps before going in?

OutLawTorn · 11-11-2014, 10:21 PM

Catch can and polished charge pipe this week

stashtrey · 11-11-2014, 10:24 PM
