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.

An optimist, you are...
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...
