I've been bugging a local guy for info on buying the same style he had for a little and I guess he decided he was willing to part with it. I haven't seen any other cars out there with this particular hood. I'm sure there's some out there but it seems pretty rare. The cost for the hood + shipping to the US is quite high so that probably explains why I don't see them

My diffuser has had this weird bubbled/damaged right side. Now it looks good as new. Car needs a bath!!

And plugged it in for a charge.

Good as new!

Decided to keep my 1'er

Married to this thing until it becomes project build and 1M widebody. Maybe some stage 2 turbos and a British racing green wrap too

One day....

Looks like they swapped LCI tails on a pre LCI for the blueprint haha

Any idea how many miles on them? I am at 87K miles, and expect mine are original.

Gangplank · 12-24-2018, 04:21 PM

Went for a drive and turned the knobs on my suspension to soften it up a bit. ;-).

Suprgnat · 12-24-2018, 04:45 PM

Had a standard oil change and inspection done at East Bay BMW, along with a coolant flush and PS flush. Interestingly, the SA went out of his way to remind me that I have a SULEV which includes an 15 year/150000 mile warranty "including the valve cover gasket". That's not the impression I get of dealerships from reading the forums.

No idea, but I'd guess they were done at the 100k mile service interval, 82k miles ago.

I had ordered in a can of Valencia Orange to do my calipers and a couple other small odds and ends. As a side hobby I also work on model cars so I decided to do a VO M4 GTS

Esteban · 12-25-2018, 10:57 AM

Ordered Bilstein B8 shocks and struts to go with my BMW Performance springs. Have heard good things about this combo.

So does this mean that they will “fix” it for you even if there’s no visible problem? I was wondering the same thing if it’s covered and would be something that dealers will do.

And a happy Christmas to all who observe it!

Nice! Did you order a suspension refresh kit as well?

Not yet. Still trying to decide what to get. Any suggestions?

Need to do breaks and suspension. Yay? Guess that's a good Christmas present, but OH the bill comes due...

How many miles? ECS makes a kit for $230 or so which is pretty inexpensive, but honestly at 60k I chose to just put new top hats, & rear upper mounts. There are only a few other parts that really wear out.

Here ya go. I'm not recommending it, just mentioning. Most or all bolts & nuts are reusable. I've ordered stuff from ECS but also read not so great commentary. I'm neutral on them.

Think I'll just re-use the parts from my Performance suspension. It's only a few years old and is a pretty complete kit.
