What car parts were you treated to this Christmas/Holiday season?

[desertman123]

Figured it's Christmas Eve so it's deep enough in the holiday season for at least a few gifts to be opened up.

How'd you treat yourself, or better yet get treated?

Mine wasn't just fun and games - some repairs. Oil pan gasket kit + new motor mounts. Miiiight pull the trigger on some E46 M3 trans mounts as well so I can really feel how sloppy the engine/trans was after 109k mi.

Maintenance stuff can be fun too desertman123!

Treated myself to some random stuff:

• Caliper wrap, figured I'd give this stuff a shot
• Caliper paint to do the rotor hats
• Some detailing supplies, wheel brushes, interior detailing brushes

I also got some little keychains for my friend and I that match our wheels, CSL style for me, TE37's for him. And a couple of those little metal turbo keychains as well. Silly things but they're like $1 on eBay so why not lol.

Got an F30 3 Series Sedan brochure in the mail this week. Maybe Santa is up to something.

Also, new summer tires for the 135i, but that's just necessary maintenance.

Merry Christmas.

So far I just opened a stubby antenna for my E88. No more RC car.

Treated myself to trans mounts, rsfb, raceseng shift knob, charge pipe, an oil change, and that's it I believe

Happy X-mas y'all!

I've got a bunch of family heading out of town tomorrow to spend Christmas with their in-laws, so we did our "local" family dinner & presents this afternoon.

For the 1er I got-
-> My 1M rep bumper was 50/50 birthday and x-mas, so even tho it's on the car already it counts.
- the bumper itself was birthday, paint was x-mas

-> Set of Schwaben low profile two piece ramps, perfect compliment to that new bumper!

-> Rob Siegel's book Ran When Parked

-> A great 1M t-shirt

->A three pack of Lake Country 5.5" gray finishing pads & a backing plate for them

-> And a Minichamps diecast 1M in BSM at 1:18 which is, seriously, just the coolest thing ever!!

Bunch of other stuff normal too, but for car stuff it was a great year!

It's pretty nifty to say how cool is my eighty year old mom for getting me a model car... I laughed like a little kid. Can't believe she found one, much less spent that much money for a diecast! It's awesome!

How did your bumper and wheel turn out after your little accident? Hopefully they came out looking like new.

PS - Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!

Haha I was excited for you when I read getting 1er model car from your mom. That is seriously super cool!

I ended up getting my car PR ignition coils as a Xmas gift. I needed to replace 5 of the coils soon anyway. So goes the ol two birds with one stone saying...

1and1 you made out like a bandit! Sweet haul!

[Esteban]

I want 1and1's 1M t-shirt. Trade you one of my kids for it? lol

You can throw in the die cast 1M to even out the trade.

They'll work really hard for you...

+1 on the e46 m3 trans mounts. I did them at about 65k on my 128i and they made a difference. They tighten things up a touch without increasing noise or vibration, they're the perfect fit for a street car. I put my money where my mouth is as they're in my initial parts order for my new e91.

These parts go on next week with Dinan Springs :]

Bought them through FCP Euro for the great warranty.

I heard the Dinan springs for the 135i were hard to get. Wouldn't mind having them on my car.

That's a heckuva suspension list!!
Very nice indeed- just add a good alignment and you should be a seriously happy camper!

[chris_flies]

I got Agency Power rear toe arms, Dinan fixed camber plates, and a new starter motor, solenoid and positive electrical cable (the car's been especially slow to start in this cold weather, even with the battery charged and in good condition). I'll be installing the camber plates tomorrow, because I won't get another chance to do it for a few weeks, and I have a cousin in town who needs to be bitten by the car bug. If I have time left in the day, I'll install the toe arms, too, before a quick voyage to Williamsburg (hopefully the 1'er will be in the convoy).
