Thanks, Steve, you've been on here regularly even after selling your 135is. Does that mean you may be back some day?

Applied leatherique to the leather and started my first detailing video.
Pretty excited to finish the car and get to editing.

Going to cover leather, wash, decon, polish, and turtle wax ceramic coating.

Have no plans to buy another 1er, but plans can change. lol

BTW, never owned a 135is, but always wanted one. Had a couple of regular 135s. Awesome cars in my book, but just got bored with them after 11 years and wanted something different. And only have room for 1 car, plus wife's car.

This forum, and the people are pretty great, this old habit is hard to break. Been around here since 2008.

Guess I'll probably always be a 1ADDICT at heart.

I agree. My first two E82 were coral. Current is black plastic...wears like iron though.

I have a ZHP 5 speed knob given to me by a friend of the family. So 6th is a secret......shhhhhh.

That's funny!

I managed to source the last set of LCI Blackline retrofit cables today, will be picking them up on Friday and have to drive 1hr & 30mins to the dealership to pay/pick them up.

Apparently they don't take card payments over the phone anymore!

Gray_Panther · 07-06-2020, 02:23 PM

Wheels and tires cleaned. Car washed, clayed and prepped for polishing.

Ursan · 07-06-2020, 04:04 PM

Finally installed new HID headlamps to replace the incandescent non-halos.

Even intalled some yellow fog lamps.

c0bra · 07-07-2020, 01:31 AM

Installed and registered a new battery which cleared the brake light trifecta on the dash (BRAKE ABS DSC).

I normally go for OE manufacturer parts, but I just had to pick up a Genuine BMW replacement this time around. This baby lasted over 11 years!

Afam28 · 07-07-2020, 04:56 AM

Question:

I was able to to source the glacier trim for my interior, but it's from a right hand drive car...
The only piece that will not work is the shifter trim correct?

BronkaidBrah · 07-07-2020, 09:00 AM

How does this even happen

iminhell1 · 07-07-2020, 10:06 AM

Corner of a truck door.
Either wind caught it or just plain carelessness.

The other day when the Frontier's shifter had its moment, I drove it home and my SO hopped into the 128i. I guess it'd been a while since she'd driven it, because I got a phone call from her 30 seconds into my drive home asking me where reverse was. (golf ball knob)

tjswarbrick · 07-08-2020, 01:36 AM

Flashed MHD 91oct Stage1+.
Very nice.

Also partially installed BMS diff brace. Kinda tricky in the E88! Anybody successfully get one on the ’vert and have some tips?

ShocknAwe · 07-08-2020, 12:32 PM

It lives!

N53 hybrid TTI6 fired up for the first time today. Sounds awesome.

Didn't think to record it while I was at the shop. They have some fine tuning to do and an alignment and I'll have it back in a few days.
