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

Billup · 08-26-2013, 12:58 PM

Clear side markers to replace the ever so present weathered side markers that look like doodoo.

Gray_Panther · 08-26-2013, 01:11 PM

I should post in this thread every time I wash my 1er. I gave it a foam bath today with Dodo Juice shampoo.

Wakka · 08-26-2013, 01:21 PM

took the secondary cats off... that sound

bmw1racer · 09-16-2013, 02:05 PM

"Clayed" the car using the Nanoskin Sponge and Chemical Guys Luber... Twice.

The sponge is awesome.

3002 tii · 09-16-2013, 03:12 PM

Yesterday I installed the Performance CF lip (see here)

bmw1racer · 09-17-2013, 11:38 PM

Car cleaning, day 2: All windows cleaned using Invisible Glass, the interior vacuumed, and all plastic and leatherette treated with Vinylex.

I'm beat.

3002 tii · 09-19-2013, 10:10 PM

All weather mats and stainless steel pedals, which btw was a major PITA for brake pedal

phobic · 09-23-2013, 07:45 AM

installed my BMS intake on saturday. makes a bit more noise which is cool.

patricksr · 09-23-2013, 06:48 PM

First oil change at 4691 miles. Went smoothly with no issues.

bmw1racer · 12-23-2013, 10:19 AM

Thorough wash, wax, and vacuum.

Approaching 7500 miles... I'll be changing the oil and filter in about a week.

Currently installing my Spec Stage 2+ w/ Steel SMFW.

Guess it couldn't hold the 500wtq

MZWIE · 12-23-2013, 10:56 AM

Took her in for a full service. Replace all fluids. I do this every end of year for all my cars.

Worra · 12-23-2013, 11:07 AM

Got her in for oil, diff, and trans fluids. 1500 miles and I'm excited to pull her a couple times at wot on the way home

Going to be doing this as well in the coming months. Should be shipping next week. This past Saturday I installed the free BMS backend flash. Runs a bit smoother. Feels great. Also converted a couple more orange interior lights to blue. Have inline fuel pump and meth kit sitting in the basement. Can't wait to get them installed and use the E85 flash.

Overpar56 · 12-24-2013, 02:56 PM

I cried on mine today. A week's worth of nasty weather and 23 degrees out so no wash for it. Goes in the shop on Thursday to find the annoying squeak the dealer hasn't found in the two previous visits.

tuco44 · 12-24-2013, 04:36 PM

Washed and vacuumed. Added StaBil to the full tank, let it run 5 mins, pulled into nice safe garage slot. put it on trickle charger; and I'll drive it again in mid-March when we return from down Calif way.

I will miss driving it, but I like warm weather and blue skies in winter more....

You should bring it down to SoCal... It was 79F today and it'll be the same on Christmas Day.

That's were we are headed, LaQuinta in the Palm Springs area until mid-March. This will be our third winter down there. Love the desert in the winter.

Fifty3bags · 12-26-2013, 06:53 PM

Washed my 135 today. Needed it bad, hadn't been able to wash it in about three weeks. Drive down some dirt roads and multiple rain showers, and all the brake dust it looked terrible. Looks new now!

Oh also bought some coilovers! Christmas gift to myself

bmw1racer · 12-29-2013, 10:22 PM

Oil and filter change today.... 7540 miles.

bmw1racer · 02-01-2014, 10:47 AM

We're in drought conditions here, so I put off washing my car for three weeks until yesterday... And now the weather forecast is predicting a 60% chance of rain on Monday.

Doh.
