Those look nice.

I went to our local Cars and Coffee. Lighter crowd due to the threat of rain, but it had a few people look over the 1er.

I really like my performance exhaust and ppk1. Underpasses are a big pleasure.

i bought a ratchet. something i've never bought before. i guess i'm inspired these days. LOL.

^ You might want to buy another ratchet with a longer handle... More leverage.

So do you have a first job in mind that you want to tackle?

True! But as long as he sticks with those socket sizes he won't need more leverage!

Pretty exciting.

Hard to tell in the pic. Do you have a pic of the entire car we can see?

Got my wheels back from refinishing and installed them Saturday night.

Also bought a Berk race axle-back today, shipment better be fast I'm already anxious to get it!

This was yesterday but I was too busy to post. My 1er got some unwanted attention from the local authorities yesterday, thanks to my tint and my hatred for a front plate. Yes, that's what I was pulled for, tint and no front plate. Booooored Ohio cop. Got a warning though, so flawless driving record intact

Nice picture. What a sinking feeling, right?

Good to hear he let you off with a warning! OSHP? How dark is your tint? I'm running no front plate and 30%... it's probably only a matter of time.

bmw1racer · 07-21-2014, 10:40 PM

Got my car back after having in the shop for two days for its 10K service (oil change, brake fluid flush, microfilter replacement).

Ahh, the perfect weighting of the hydraulic steering and being able to stir through the gears manually as opposed to that numb electric steering and uninvolving auto tranny in the 328i loaner...

The 128i is pure gold.

...got an 04' E46 M3 to keep him company.

Yeah, then to anger. I had just spent 2 hours stuck in gridlock traffic in MI and then 30 minutes later this bored cop pulls me over. I remained polite, but I was quietly pissed off inside. That went away when he handed me the warning instead of the ticket he told me he was going to write.

Yeah Ohio State. My tint is 35%. I've been here for 3 years and only ran a front plate for a short time. This was the only time I didn't have my plate with me though. It was weird, I was on my vacation trip and I noticed a few times that I didn't have my front plate with me. I didn't think it was going to be a big deal, but for some reason I kept noticing that I didn't have my plate with me. I guess it was premonition or something because it ended up biting me in the ass.

Was the cop a little guy?

Way back, a little highway patrol cop pulled me over on the freeway to give me a fix-it ticket for not having a front plate... Napoleon Complex.

Took my 135i in last Tuesday to get some service work done prior to the 4yr/50k maintenance warranty expiration.

-New front brakes
-Brake system flush
-New center trim due to peeling
-New fan button due to peeling
-3rd cup holder installed (free of charge, apparently)
-SB 12 17 13 update (car was stalling in certain conditions....will have to drive more to see if any different)

.....aaaaand despite me requesting them NOT to wash it, they washed it which has resulted in swirl marks. This is after I spent 8+ hours last month with an orbital polisher (and other items) detailing the car

On the upside, I did have a 2014 328i x-drive for a week to drive from here to Table Rock Lake (~300 miles one way). I know the rear seat passenger greatly appreciated it, lol

Ouch. When I recently took my car in for an oil change, they specifically asked me if I wanted my car washed. It had never even occured to me that they would wash it after an oil change (it only gets hand-washed!!), so I was so grateful that they mentioned it. Sorry you didn't have the same experience. But now I'll always remember to tell them not to wash it.

On a side note, I bought my IS a present. Well, it was kind of for me too. But the beast now has decent pair of slip-on driving shoes behind all 3 pedals. You don't even want to know what I've been driving in lately, but I've been forced to go barefoot most of the time. Well, not any more!

IEDEI · 07-22-2014, 09:42 PM

ordered a new OEM 1M shift knob and boot.....just because i wanted a brand new one to break in myself. $175 for the knob and boot. not horrible.
