Actually two weeks ago - just a wash. Today I spent 5 hours to wash, clay, polish, and seal (BFWD) my wife's black Honda. I spend at least triple the time on her car compared to my car. Happy wife...

In 2012 (I think) BMW changed the name of the sport package to M-sport package and added a few decorative M touches on the steering wheel, shift lever and door sills. All of the good stuff remained the same - sport suspension, sport seats, shadowline trim, etc. Bottom line is that there's no meaningful difference.

This came in the mail finally. Was going to put back on the old 135i badge but remembered the M135i badge had the M style numbers that are more aggressive and sleek.

Partly memory, partly the fact that I have the 70-page 2012 brochure.

Drove it to work.
Bought a digital microphone to mount to my rear bumper to record exhaust notes while driving. $27 spent to pair with my 720p resolution dashcam that has a poor quality built-in microphone. I should have a nice driving video by next weekend!

Got my downpipes installed. Love the exotic sound but it's raspy. Might need to put a resonator back on there.

A thorough wash today and an application of Sonax Fallout Cleaner.
Nanoskin scrub, then PowerLock tomorrow.

Took it to Carlsbad Cars & Coffee and then enjoyed some delicious beer at Green Flash Brewing.

The rasp is real bad, trust me lol. I just ordered a couple Vibrant resonators, so that should cure most if not all of the rasp.
My neighbors must hate me right now, I almost feel bad.

New rear license plate frame: I got the BMW performance one. I feel my car has some right to wear it because of the PE, PPK2, and 313s.
I wanted a pair but I can only find one in yellow letters. front license plate frame deleted -> completely upgrading my car's status from a/my dealer's free advertisement to something to my liking. |

Washed and detailed, really needs a good waxing. Considering holding off on that until the weather starts really going "North" in anticipation of snow. A DD'd 135i never rests.
