Go Noles!

But there's a bunch of goo left from the adhesive.

and will be for a week until my just ordered ebay one gets here. Not the M4 one though, cus I'm a cheap ass.

That wretched goo ugh It was hell getting it off

This week...perf brakes, new tires. Sooooo fun.

Been beating myself up over a ~$65 dollar purchase for years. Finally bit the bullet the week before last. Genuine BMW luggage mat, and it matches my all-weather floor mats. Not that I ever haul anything that requires the mat, but I wanted it anyway.

Cleaned the interior, treated the leather and tidied the engine bay up. Very therapeutic

Keeee-rist man, do you ever actually touch your steering wheel?

My dimpled section is worn almost smooth in the mid & upper areas....

low135 · 10-21-2018, 12:51 PM

3 minute Photoshop lol

Oakland1 · 10-21-2018, 01:40 PM

DIY d ring install at front end of trunk so I can, you know, tie stuff down. Having only front anchor points on American version is asinine (Euro version has them in a different spot but nonetheless they are there, providing 4 points for the cargo net or other straps).

Anyway, the anchor points are in the frame, so you just need the d ring and trim parts, cut the liner, and install.

PM me if you are interested in part #'s.

I don't think I like it TBH, the yellow is a much nicer look. Maybe a brighter green?

Granted, this is only a photoshop...

It's tough to get the color very close with Photoshop. Here is the color I would be doing if I went green. This is the actual wrap

I like that better. It's still not that crazy yellow I've grown to love...

Yeah, I do love it but I'll be changing so many panels coming up, it's the best time to change the color. I've always wanted to do a signal green car and I think once I go wide it'll be the best time to do it.

I think the widebody will do more to accentuate the color. I can't wait to see the results!

Same... that green is too muted. It's like a mint green. Would look good on a Camry. You need that Skittles in-your-face green.

I think Signal green is pretty in your face lol

new owner so I started the weekend with a great country road drive! installed the ZHP shifter but it doesn't integrate with stock 128i boot - i realize there are DIY fixes but will probably look for proper boot. also installed the black kidney grilles but I'm on the fence - may decide to swap back. cheers!

I don't think there is a different boot. Easy enough to fold the top of the boot leather down so it tucks back down inside the boot, then pull the whole boot back up towards the knob though.

Or even better, do this:

That knob looks like it has a lot of play...

Still, that's what I did when my parking brake boot separated. Looks clean, super easy fix...

Fun with INPA digging into my lack of ABS/DSC

If you have inpa this is who you get to this data:

F2
-pop up window opens-
Pick your chassis
Pick Dynamic Stability
F5

Then you can look at sensor data,

As much as I can

Sadly, track season's over and winter's rolling in, so I won't be getting to take it out as much as I want. I can still sit in the garage and make vroom vroom noises though...
