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

bmw1racer · 05-18-2013, 09:45 AM

Picked up a case (six) of Mobil 1 0W-40 at Kragen/O'Reilly... On sale for $5.99/quart until the end of May.

Section147 · 05-18-2013, 12:30 PM

Thanks for posting that tip! Heading to O'Reilly on my way home from work today to
pick up a case...and then to pick up a case of good beer with the savings!

Gray_Panther · 05-18-2013, 10:31 PM

Took the front bumper off and took out the headlights. Began headlight disassembly.

Bought COBB few days ago for her. Wondering what the difference is going to be between JB4 and COBB. I think the COBB will respond better...

Beautiful. My 128i is getting around that mileage mark too. Still drives and feels great.

Thanks. In addition to taking care of its appearance, I'm trying to improve my photography skills. Unfortunately, it became overcast just as I finished - really wanted that golden late afternoon sun.

Washed and continued to experiment with e85, im strongly considering a walbro lpfp upgrade and an e50 protune.

kloftus1044 · 05-20-2013, 04:17 PM

Gave mine a good detailing inside and out which summoned the rain gods less than 24 hours later.

Fifty3bags · 05-20-2013, 04:30 PM

Needed a wash really bad!

Added my GT decal and matte black roundel overlays

Webb70 · 05-27-2013, 12:43 PM

So far in May I have :
I removed the OEM spoiler and installed a Carbon Performance style spoiler.
I installed a 2 fin Carbon Diffuser and an AA cat-back race system (love the sound).
Installed my Black //M pedals
Installed the Alcantera/ Aluminum shifter and boot for the Transmission and E brake handle/ boot.
Covered the interior trim with 3M brushed aluminum vinyl.
Replaced the stock air filter with AFE (I think) K&N style drop-in.
Replaced the halo bulbs with GP Thunders and had them coded.
Removed the dark tint that was on the car when I bought it.

bmw1racer · 05-27-2013, 10:35 PM

Spent the holiday today removing each wheel, cleaning it thoroughly, and giving a coat of Powerlock... And I re-coated each wheel hub center with anti-seize while I was at it.

tuco44 · 05-27-2013, 11:34 PM

Booked an exterior detail for Saturday, and then booked to have the 3M protective film put on the hood, front end, lights, mirrors, etc the following Tues.

Sarge135 · 05-29-2013, 04:58 PM

Finished up mu Double Din install!

Replaced the chrome badging with black badging.

Gray_Panther · 05-29-2013, 10:36 PM

Began sealing up the second headlight. My retrofit is almost done!

1thirtyfizzo · 05-30-2013, 07:23 PM

Took her to the dealer to get an oil change, new spark plugs, and air filters before my free maintenace warranty runs out next week.

kenson · 06-01-2013, 09:22 AM

Had the 135i for 2 weeks now.
Thanks to the detailed information on here I've successfully changed the engine oil and purchased very cheap Mann cabin and engine air filters from Amazon.

Sadly, I damaged one of the plastic jack points under the car. Doing a quick search I can see this happens a lot

Will have to get some wood blocks or something!

other_evolved · 06-01-2013, 09:24 AM

I'll be waxing the wheels today with "Wheel Wax." I've never used a product like it before so hopefully it works as advertised!
