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

I cannot wait to get these installed!

When I do the installation, I'll also be replacing my tie rods (inner and outer) and steering rack boots, and installing F30 brake dust shields to protect these beauties from heat and dust alike. It'll all be tied-together by a trip to RRT Racing for a corner balance and proper alignment.

Your set sounds pretty close to what I've got. I'm curious what you wind up with for ride height & clicker settings.

Ohlins R&T
* F 7" 342 lb. (60 N/mm)
* R 10" 672 lb. (120 N/mm)

Finally did a DCT fluid service on my car. I kept going back and forth on whether to go all out with dropping the pan to get at the bottom filter or to just do the side filter and the corresponding fluid change. I ended up doing just the side filter and fluid change. 4 quarts of oil were used doing it this way.

Also had my guy do a diff service too.

did you have to drop the whole transmission to service the side oil pan?

Waiting for my Nelson paddle shifters for almost two weeks now and they still haven't shipped 😭 back ordered I guess. I was really looking forward to installing them with my M3 steering wheel and going for a cruise over my break from school (only 1 week). Doesn't seem like that's likely anymore

My mechanic friend that did the service mumbled something about needing to drop the transmission to do it. I'm going to visit him over the weekend and I'll ask for more details then. When I get a chance, I'll post up pics of the area of the trans where the filter goes and the new filter itself. He sent those pics to me.

That sucks. I don't remember how long it took for me to get mine.

Message them on facebook. I also ordered some recently (within the last month) and it was two weeks before I decided to send him a message through FB Messenger and they shipped it out the next day. Said it was just an oversight. They might be very busy/understaffed, or just tend to miss a lot of orders.

Yea they contacted me already via email pretty quickly and told me they were waiting for a set to be restocked. Said if all goes well, it should be shipped out today or Monday. Fingers crossed it comes quick lol. I wanted to go for a Malibu cruise soon

Damn. That looks pleasant since the 1er is such a nice place to be in.
I think if I become a consultant I will hold appointments in my 1er. Drive and Consult Servicing is what my firm will be called.

No offense, but it looks like a gang bangers car... At least in my neck of the woods.

Plot twist when they realize that the meeting is held in the 1er

Today I got a wash, wax, tire shine. And then I saw the damage from the curb hit the other day. Ugh!
