I recommend those 1$ hand sanitizer gels and watching where you sneeze. Lol
Edit - not a good idea

I was actually serious about the dishsoap. Leaves nothing behind.

For cleaning, just get a clean but well used towel(so all the towel lint has been washed out) and wet it with water(not soak it). Put it in your hand without folding it, grab the wheel through the towel, and twist it back and forth. Once you are satisfied, repeat with a dry towel. Smooth all the fibers in a consistent direction. Then leave your windows cracked for the remainder to dry.

Look up Coby wheel webpage- he has a guide using a $3 nail brush. Just be gentle, round motions using finger pressure -no need for wrist. I didnt bother with soap as per his instructions not yet anyway

I was in the market for a better performance car than my DD Scion tC for 10 years. I just want to say thanks to everyone because I made my choice on a 128i after reading numerous posts here. It's a 2012 Cashmere Silver 128i w/ M-sport package.
Love driving it. I wouldn't believe it if anyone told me that I'll fall in love with the NA engine sound before. Cheers! |

Keeping steering wheel clean
1. driving gloves: for years and years Europeans (and myself) have used driving gloves $35 at Bav Auto
2. mechanics gloves: ECS Tuning have a new model out, $12.95 3. Golfers gloves: I think you buy in sets of 3, either left or right hand so buy 1 of each. |

Hey guys, I am new to the forum, new to BMW 1 and even BMW. I realized this was more like an open thread, that's why I am posting here.
I took a 2011 128i coupe for a test drive today. It was one of the cars I always wanted to drive and well I am amazed with the purity of the car.. love at first sight. The car has 38k miles on it, it has the sports seats and sports suspension (which I couldn't really tell) and it's a CPO from the dealership for $20k. I didn't really notice any imperfections aside from the rattling sound from the left window. I just wanna have 20 minutes of joy before and after work aside from weekend trips. Since it's going to be my one and only car the reliability is quite important to me. I am hoping to hear your advices.. THANKS!! |
