What did you do to/for your 1er today?

MikeinAlexandria · 06-08-2012, 02:24 PM

I installed Blackline Taillights yesterday.

theinfamousdrew · 06-08-2012, 02:43 PM

Very nice! ^^^^

theinfamousdrew · 06-21-2012, 03:57 AM

Today I installed BMS's newly redesigned DCI

Tweeked SRT4 · 06-21-2012, 11:39 AM

Let the car sit on the driveway.

VMRWheels · 06-21-2012, 02:02 PM

I love the updated LCI tails when they're glowing. Night and day difference. Pun intended.

sparkyblue · 06-21-2012, 02:16 PM

Spent four hours total, washing her as clean as I possibly can, then for the first time waxing her with Meguirs Gold Carabana car wax.

She is as shiny as when I first picked her up! I should have probably of waxed when I did buy her.

bmw1racer · 06-30-2012, 10:41 AM

Car care weekend: Washed the car last night, now I'm going to wax it this morning.

135Pats · 06-30-2012, 10:56 AM

Since it was past midnight technically it was "today"...I rushed my vert to a garage to hide it from the 80mph winds/falling trees/hail that ripped through the mid-atlantic

there were trees down everywhere...a very scary drive considering it was about .6 miles to the garage. But it's safe haha. Deserves a good cleaning and paint sealing as a result.

pdisher · 06-30-2012, 03:39 PM

Oil change, dealer on sale! (83.00)
Dealer washed it as well, actually - surprisingly did a decent job.

Bought a sunshade for half-price (30.00)

Gray_Panther · 06-30-2012, 03:46 PM

Broke 100 miles in it.

Clovef · 06-30-2012, 04:01 PM

I dialed in more negative camber and raised the front of my car to fit new 235/40/18 star specs on apex arc8 in front and 275/35/18 out back. It is now op higher then I like up front and relative to the back. Oh well, it is as low as I can go and fit this setup. Feels good to get this done myself, plus doing this in the mid 90 degree heat helped me drop a few pounds.

propkaPT · 06-30-2012, 04:39 PM

hand washed and spit shined. Noticing more stone chips every wash....shyte

integra891 · 06-30-2012, 04:47 PM

Washed and protected the 1 with menzerna powerlock. Also installed BMW performance CF spoiler! Now the butt looks perfect!

Also noticed a ton of new rock chips. Makes me sad

Greenkirby21 · 07-01-2012, 12:09 AM

i drove it like it likes it

. Empty roads at 9:30, sun came down going home. I never floored it or did anything stupid but I just enjoyed the weather and my exhaust

Boosted_N54 · 07-01-2012, 12:22 AM

fukn floord it until gas ran out.

1forlife · 07-01-2012, 12:38 AM

Spent a few hours washing it and the wheels; and trying wheel wax for the first time. I also bought a Meguiar's clay kit today so I might try that tomorrow if I have time.

Järppä · 07-01-2012, 02:33 AM

First time my 1-serie spun around.

my mistake, missus did afraid properly.

What wheel wax did you use?
Also when you wash the wheels again can you let us know if applying the wheel wax was worth it?

Fox128i · 07-01-2012, 08:14 AM

Wash, Clay Bar, & Wax!

TheSt|G · 07-01-2012, 10:43 AM

Leatherique'd the 1er. Pretty clear the PO hadn't done anything along the lines, the car sucked it right up. Feels excellent though.
