It's easy to be obsessed! I grabbed my car back from the shop that was holding it while insurance companies doddled about, I regret the time I lost with my car... (all of 4 days) I don't care how bad it looks, it just so nice to drive, though it feels like a total race car compared to the new cars I've been driving those days (lack of refinement, noisy, rides so stiffly)!

I keep throwing 2A82 for intake VANOS solenoid. No SES light yet, but idle can get a bit rough sometimes. Already cleaned the check valves and solenoids. Looks like it's time for a new one.

Got all the brake discs, pads, holder/retainer spring, grease, bolts, sensors etc for a full brake pad and disk replacement.

Also got some other bits for the interior, a new armrest lid, was shocked how sensitive that plastic latch is and broke it, freaking €70 for that piece! got an interior footwell net for more storage space, fire extinguisher w/mounts (OEM) and a BMW mobility kit (hate having a big heavy spare in the trunk).

135i gauge cluster is in the mail (to be fitted into the 125i for the oil temp gauge) as well as F20/F30 style front brake dust guards for more cooling.

Tried to polish and wax the car, by the time i rinsed the car, the water started to freeze over, so i guess i can not do squat with the paint till it gets warmer, or if someone in Bavaria had a closed garage and does not mind me driving by and detailing the car haha. Will have a busy weekend that is for sure.

After getting the new wheels I really noticed the surface rust on the rear drums/rotors, so after a little elbow grease and VHT:

I have no idea if SP735 is a paint code, a color code, or nothing, so I included all information available. I'm sorry I am pedantic.

I know haha if I knew this winter would be so mild I just would have kept mine out and covered but I never would have gotten any work done to it

I need to do this to my girls 135i, the rears are not as clean as I would like them to be.

Yeah, I've started looking at painting them. I'd have to do the cast aluminum color you used to match my front F30 335i brakes...

My gaming pc

- AMD R9 380x
Nissan Skyline R34 GTT seat
Nice setup! I play AC as well but I don't have a sweet sim rig like you lol.

Current setup:

i7 4790k OC'd at 4.5GHz
Corsair Hydro H50 CPU cooler
EVGA 1070 FTW lightly OC'd
24GB DDR3 1600 (c9) OC'd
Asus z97 Pro
2x Crucial M200 250gb SSD's
1x Firecuda SSHD 2tb
1x Hitachi Archival Drive HDD 3tb (photo storage)
Cooler Master Masterbox 5
EVGA Gold 750W PSU

I use a Logitech G27 that I found on eBay for $250. Was super happy to get that price since all the wheels are crazy expensive now.

Add me on Steam so we can game sometime! http://steamcommunity.com/id/Msteelio91/

I don't have any full setup shots but this beast is fun to look at

Your PC blows mine out of the water though when my friend brought over his Oculus Rift it brought the graphics card to its knees.

My house is a 4 bedroom and I only got 3 people in it sooooooooooooooooooo I took over the 4th room also me/my dad are decent at woodworking so we tossed this together. Like $60 in material at Home Depot (most of which was spent on the huge stainless bolts)

I have the budget but not the space LOL. You're very lucky to have a room to play in, my desk is in our living room so definitely no space for a sim seat haha
