I travel ALL the time for work, all over the country. There is no better feeling than getting in one of MY cars after a few days of driving even nicer rental cars.

Which blue? There are a few and all of them are beautiful. My old 1er was LeMans Blue. Very nice color.

Or Deep Sea Blue?

Edit: although I think the two you mentioned are more rare.

Booked my 1er in for some TLC, oil and coolant is pissing out everywhere....again. Driving the car is an absolute pleasure, owning it is turning into a nightmare!!

Got a color teaser for the Recaros

Tinted my headlights with a yellow tint. What I learned from this is that I still hate dealing with tints. It's a simple yet so hard job. lol

Did you use a heat gun? It makes the job so much easier!

The headlights look great, it has the vintage race car look going on.

Yes I did use the heat gun, it helped a lot on the corners. But I still had some grooves on the tint. I noticed driving it at night that it doesn't look too yellow, but from a driving perspective it improves the visibility.

That's what I was going for, I love vintage racing cars. I'm planing to track mine & want to have that look on my car.

replaced rubber seal under windscreen cowel, as 3rd party windscreen company screwed the install up

I didn't think this was worthy of a new thread as most of you are probably aware, but just in case....

Changed air filter, sparkplugs, and 3 coils. The Delphi coils that were in there came apart when pulling them out.

Yikes , good thing I thought to download it in case something like this happened. It was so much easier to navigate from the site though and I'll miss that bit.

On 3 of them, the rubber (more like silicone) and the spring/carbon resistor stayed on the sparkplug. I was able to salvage 2 of them, but the boot on the third was effed by the time I got it out. Replaced all 3 (with Bosch) to be safe.

Are you using it on a Windows7 or XP machine? It won't work on Win10 - at least for me it won't.

Get Oracle VirtualBox and make a Windows7 virtual machine. Install everything on that.

For tools? Windows 7 . I Was having issues trying to install bmw tools myself and ended up buying a laptop preloaded with the software on eBay. I've only used it twice, once for coding injectors once to bleed dsc/abs. Navigating the tis sucks using mostly search terms though I can tell you that.

I didn't think it was possible to make a virtual machine with Window10 Home?

I've got a Win7 machine retired from everything except Std Tools. I think I'm going to try to put TIS on it.
