Pretty much always working on the car. It's a perpetual thing.

Today I'm dumping the oil I put in about 500 miles ago. I substituted 1 quart of oil with 1 quart of Redline D4 ATF for the extra detergents. But then when I peeked inside the engine, I realized that wasn't super necessary.

So today I want to drain all that out, even though 1/6th of the oil being D4 ATF probably brings the Rotella T6 viscosity more in-line with the BMW recommended spec.

Also, in case nobody believed me, the brake duct really is super ceremonial. I mean, nothing comes out of there.... except a nice whooshing sound and a little growl and whistle.

Unfortunately the vinyl I ordered for the roof rails does not match. So what do i do with it? I make stickers. Why you ask? Why not?

I also relayed my experience at the shop to Dinan. After inspection and emissions tomorrow, and hopefully the axle/diff seal replaced under warranty, I will be sending out my EGS to Cali-for-nie-eh.
