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

Yeah, well, possibly we'll see how that plays out sometime down the road.

Edit: they say right on their website "every part you buy is guaranteed for life."

Mine is OE (P/N 63257164978). Don't know if there's any difference other than the higher price.

Uncloged the sunroof drains then went for a nice cruise with friends to go watch street racing.

Put new plugs in a week ago but the car misfires a little or does something close to a misfire if im going over 90 mph. Maybe a coil?

The sun finally decided to show up today and stay all day so I decided to detail her. Ceramic coating in the future.

My car's going on 7 years and I haven't noticed any cracking... Knock on wood.

iminhell1 · 02-17-2019, 11:32 PM

Did donuts too (first time actually; 2 owner, never raced or beat on, enthusiast owned)

Not sure if it's more common or not to get a crack in the third brake light.

Heck right, let's hear it for the OE TBL people! I'm still running the original too (knocks wood...)

Should start a club or something!

Esteban · 02-17-2019, 11:48 PM

Should start a poll. Who has a crack and who doesn't?

Including who has already replaced their original.

It's going to be like 99.100% with crack and -0% without. And if they say oh mine's fine, they havent' actually looked.

LOL

Made it one year with the 1er

Bought a pair of new in box Zimmerman rear rotors for $30! Don't need them yet so they will sit in my spares inventory.

Occasionally I'll look on Craigslist for parts and saw these for $50. The seller lived a little far from me so I offered to buy at asking price if they'd meet halfway. They responded I could have them if I came to pick up since they no longer own the car and don't need them. Being the tough negotiator I am, I offered $30 picked up.

I had to go not far from their location Sunday so felt a little bad getting them for nothing.

Add this to finding rear M guide arms on Amazon for $150/pr, last week I'm on a roll for bargains. 2 days later the guide arms were $200+

Your car certainly isn't a garage queen. You seem to have loads of fun with it.
