Yep, but thanks.

^^^ It's specifically these which I'm looking for. They are saying in stock 4 days after ordering so... I may yet give them a try. Otherwise the ones you linked might have to do it. Thanks for the idea, didn't realize there were 2 options.

I ordered those mats earlier this year in May from Melbourne BMW and they had to order them from Germany. Shipping was also higher than listed, it ended up being around $65 shipped.

After 8 long years I got around to fully enabling the Xenon Blackline tail lights' LED strips on my halogen equipped LCI car.

For power to the LED strips I ran wires from the outer connectors on the taillights, X318-1 (right) and X319-1 (left) and tapped into the Gray/Brown wire going to the license plate lights.

The BMW ELO socket for the connector P/N is 61138364832

Then I fired up Pro Tool and using the FRM "Standard" list coded:

Rear Fogs as Standing Lights
PWM_NSL_FKT_SL Value 01 (was 03)

Parking Lights with Brake Lights
PARKL_FKT_MIT_BL Disabled (was Enabled)

Standing Lights with Brake Lights
SL_FKT_MIT_BL Disabled (was Enabled)

Everything works perfectly with no annoying lights backlighting the LED strip.

I ordered these Jan of this year and had no issues

Anyone know the differences between all the part numbers? It just lists them all as USA/LHD/Anthracite on RealOEM

Oh shit, you're only a couple hours from me!

It's a beautiful ride, and if I didn't JUST buy my 135i, I'd definitely be interested, but I'm definitely following your sale! Hope you get max dollar, my man!

Thanks! Where are you located? I have a few 1ers in my area.

Miami, but we drive up to Melbourne all the time. Next trip up will definitely be in the 1!

[ResinThirteen]

Brutal (on the wallet) service happening right now: water pump, thermostat, upper radiator hose, oil pan gasket, index -12 injectors, and new Michelin PS4s all around!


Can't wait to drive it again!

FINALLY got the car stored for the winter. Fuel tank full w/stabilizer, washed outside, wheels cleaned, tires 3 psi over normal, 2008 w/66,605 miles-it's winter stored every year. Will put Aerospace 303 on perfect drivers seat soon.
Should get new battery in the spring-it'll be 14 years old [thanks Battery Tender]. No evidence of rodents in garage. Emergency brake OFF.

1. Vargas F-RB Lite turbos purchased…

2. Car semi stored for winter, still need to wash the outside, inside is mean and clean…

3. Rear seats and rear trim removed in prep for a seat delete…rear seats are in decent shape so no need for any upholstery treatment(removable roll cage is a possibility, if one exists…haven't searched)…

4. Head liner will come out some time during winter for either a reupholster or alcantara(did I spell that right lol)treatment

5. Front door cards will be removed during winter for a restore and storage along with rear trim…will replace with door card delete and see how I like it…

6. Front seats aren't in the best shape, will probably reupholster down the line and keep in storage, don't know what seats I want to replace them with but we will see when the time comes…

This is all I have currently on my "slow-roll" to do list, turbos will be installed in the summer, tune etc…

Not today but over the last few days on Little Red . . .

Front and rear brakes - Power Stop drilled/slotted on the front, Dynamic Friction drilled/slotted on the rear, Akebono pads all the way around. Now the calipers look even worse. They will get painted in the Spring/Summer.


Shift boot and e-brake boot from Redline Goods - black with red stitching - and carbon fiber e-brake handle.



Found a spiffy red-and-black leather shift knob at Shiftknobs.eu. Placed the order and will slip it to the wife to go in my stocking. Thank you, Santa!


Also took advantage of the Black Friday sale by Apex and ordered the ARC-8 wheels I have coveted for years - 17x8.5 ET40 in Hyper Black. They are backordered so will be a few weeks, which is fine as they won't go onto the car until spring/summer anyway. But, having watched Apex for the past three years, sales are few and far between so . . .

Nice choice of goodies and I really like the QuickJack. If you are a BMWCCA member, check out Satch Carlson's story on it a few months ago. October Roundel, I think. Hilarious!

Yes, I love my QuickJack and use it regularly. It makes tire changes, brake work, and suspension work so much easier. Underneath is easier, too, although you are still on your back. I would still love a two-post lift - my wife has started talking about downsizing our house and I tell her that I'm okay with downsizing the house as long as we can upsize the garage.

I am a CCA member and get Roundel and enjoyed that story when I read it.

Wow, that's a nice one. Should hit $23-25K

Got my Uniden R4, which will replace my R3. Haven't installed yet, but I've been told it will work with the same BlendMount I used for the R3. Excited for the extra range since I drive a lot of winding, hilly rural roads on the way to work, and for the auto-lockouts since every damn dollar general I pass going through rural GA sets off K band.

[ResinThirteen]

New shoes! I love the 255s in the rear!
