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

And now, the OCD (that I don't actually have...) freaks out every time I get in the car... M.U.S.T.R.E.P.L.A.C.E. Like, you know..., right freaking now. ((sigh, again))

Also, on a related note, my love/hate relationship with RealOEM grows just a bit more.

And if it's not part of the audio section, nor part of the door panel section, then where???

Weird. That would bug me, too!
I found the Harman/Kardon Tweeter (65136964012) on RealOEM, but no grille. Bass, (rear) side-panel, and front door all come up, but not the ones adjacent the mirror. I actually bought a pair of base-hifi sail panels to mod a couple years ago. I'll see if I can find one of them, or the order, and use the P/N to hone in on the location.

Heck Yeah- that's the one.
Thank you thank you!

Will probably pull mine off during my holiday vacation over the next week, see if I can just push the screen back into shape. If not, new one it is!

Had 36/39 PSI in my Michelin PSS's (what it says on my door jamb), but that seemed a little too much for my new tires, which are Michelin PS4S, so I went to 36/36 PSI and that feels better. Was wondering what everyone else puts in their tires?

I typically run the fronts at what the door sticker calls for (36 PSI), but often feel that 39 is a bit much for the rear, and typically lower it to 38 or 37--probably too marginal to make a big difference, but the car seems to hook up and handle bumps better with a bit less pressure in the rear. I'm on Michelin PSS.

Just bought a pretty rare hood that came up for sale locally. I'd been talking to the guy about the hood and where I could find one for myself a little but ago and I guess he decided he'd part with it. Going to pick it up Sunday. We'll see how it does on a 45 minute drive strapped down with my top down haha pics of the hood on his car. It's carbon fiber that he wrapped over. I'm planning on filling the hood pin holes and making something underhood for a "catch" in case it would ever fly up

I run 36 all around as well in mine.

My current setup isn't square, so I've got 36F/32R on Bridgestone RE760s.

Bought it a 5" VRSF intercooler. Ready to go stage 2 MHD after Christmas. That will be my last power mod for a while. Federal 595 r's are next

Installed the E93 M3 front sway bar and replaced the endlinks.

Hopefully the weather around here holds out a few days to get some good test drives in!

I finally go around to installing the OEM diffuser that I got from BAN_M2C months ago.

My diffuser has had this weird bubbled/damaged right side. Now it looks good as new. Car needs a bath!!

And plugged it in for a charge.

low135 · 12-23-2018, 03:59 PM

GTR power bulge hood kind of acquired? Went to pick it up and it turned out that trying to transport it in my car was a bad idea lol gonna go back next week without my hood on bolt on the new hood and drive home. Pics for laughs

I've been bugging a local guy for info on buying the same style he had for a little and I guess he decided he was willing to part with it. I haven't seen any other cars out there with this particular hood. I'm sure there's some out there but it seems pretty rare. The cost for the hood + shipping to the US is quite high so that probably explains why I don't see them

Looks like they swapped LCI tails on a pre LCI for the blueprint haha

Any idea how many miles on them? I am at 87K miles, and expect mine are original.
