What did you do to/for your 1er today?

Question though, for those that have done the Blackline upgrade. Did any of you tint the 3rd brake light, or did you just leave it as is? I'm curious if it will match the Blacklines well.

I tried looking at some Euro 1'ers to see if their 3rd brake light is smoked or not. It was hard to tell, but it looks to be the same shade as ours, so I'm assuming I shouldn't need to do anything with it.

I bought my black lines from Schneiderman, they're great. I also tinted my 3rd brake light, and it looks fantastic. There is a guy on the forums here that sells an overlay for it. $20 I think.

Built a custom roof basket to fit a cargo bag yesterday. More prep to move back to school next week. Just some angle and flat aluminum stock bonded and riveted together. First real shot at building anything with metal, and I love it. Metal's way more fun than wood lol

Now to learn to weld...

I recently ordered a 3.4 Big boost kit, tomorrow I am going to attempt to put on my PR coils, as well as replace the air box filter, and install in grille scoops 👍🏽

35K miles for an '08 is amazing.

Ordered the oddments tray from Schmiedmann as well as a slicktop overhead console. Managed to code out the sunroof from the VO today (my adapter settings were incorrect so it wouldn't communicate with CAS), but it's still giving an anti-trap failure check control message that I can't clear.

I would fly over just to hear her fly by!!!

As the title says, took my console out, cut the requisite hole in it and installed the 3rd cupholder. Not too bad a job. The template included in the Uro Parts kit I bought wasn't great, but the outer part is big enough to cover a LOT of sins. Nice and sturdy, and not so in the way as the one behind the shifter.

One immediate project left - MULF2 Bluetooth retrofit. I have everything but the Fakra cable for the antenna, that is coming on Tuesday from Amazon. And figuring out the coding, and if I want to attempt to do that DIY or pay to have it done.

Just finished a 77 mile midnight ride to bed new front brake pads and rotors, Ferodo DS2500 and Zimmermann Performance.

My parents 43k mile '08 vert says hi too!

[chris_flies]

Finally figured out mounting the home-build roof rack, and did so. Just a brief test with some Race Ramps in the cargo bag up to ~50 proved successful. Going to take it on the highway tomorrow morning and see how it fares at speed.

I lost my wheel lock key, the one that is used to key into that unique bolt on each of the wheels.

Anyone know how I can source a replacement?

Went for a drive & took some pics of the car

Wasn't really today, but over the past week I drove over 2600 miles from Washington state to SoCal and back. Car did amazingly well. While I was down in California I visited my brother at Beverly Hills BMW for a few things. OFH gasket change, tranny service, tranny mounts, brake flush, oil change. He was going to walnut blast the intake valves but said they didnt look too bad. Its crazy how much of a difference in feel the mounts made. I got the revshift 80a set for "OEM+". Glad I didn't get anything more dense.

Pretty sure you can buy just the key online for whatever set you have. If it's the BMW brand one then the dealer will have a lot of keys laying around. Most tire shops have a plethora of them because customers come in all the time and don't give the key.

Wrapped my center console and the rest of the gross gray poplar trim all so I can like the look of the performance shiftknob. Probably a bit tacky but the 1er interior doesn't exactly scream classy anyway .

Just got back from my weekend getaway in pa for mpact and now I don't even know what I want out of this car. Track days and hpde is fun but watching all the 1ers do the slipstream roll races makes me wanna make balls to the wall power. 2021 is gonna get expensive.

Don't know your car's history, but is there a chance there is a card buried in your manual somewhere that lists the vendor and key #? Curiously, I do not have such card for wife's new Lexus, but do have for my 2010 Colorado.

Went to the BMW dealer today, the Parts guy came out with a box full of master keys. We found the right key and he put the order in for me. It arrives tomorrow for only $15!!

So describe the change? Is it liveable day to day? I keep thinking about doing this when I swap in my BMW performance shifter.

Sand blasted my F30 calipers.
