* What did you do to/for your E46 today? * - Page 687

I was bored so I cleaned up the interior, repolished wheels, fixed little stuff here and there like the seat belt tensioner( the belt wasnt coiling back up when passenger unbuckled the clip).
Degreased the oil buildup below the VCG. will be attacking this DIY this weekend.
Removed splitters. they were slowly coming off due to scraping against low driveways

Brake light switch became loose this morning, fixed that!

Yesterday I cleaned some of the Cosmoline off of the firewall and put my custom angel eye harness back in. It dims when the headlights come on.

Probably cleaned it out and rewrapped the spring.

That should not be. The heater should get super toasty.
Sounds like your water pump, and/or thermostat may be failing.
Air bubbles? All of the above.
When has your cooling system been attended to last?
Your lack of heat should be a red flag.

Washed her, put on my recently purchased winter set up, also installed the roof racks, And installed BSW stage 1.

After another long day at the office, drove home and washed her, then decided it was time to finally remove the last outlandish portion of silver from her - the rims went on a date with Plastidip.

As said, it's probably your cooling system. My thermostat was shot and my car would never reach fully warmed up on my 25 mile commute. As a result my heater was terrible. After the tstat was replaced the car is sweat inducingly hot (if you're in a jacket) within 5-10 minutes.

Looks awesome Verticle!!! Now just black out the lights! Total stealth at night!

Rotated wheels and gave them a thorough cleaning in the process.

Look at it this way, might have saved major damage on some other component? Big pothole?

looks great. minor suggestion. cut the ends of your load bars (I did mine looks so much better/cleaner) and fix your fairing. looks like your inside 2 clips are in the wrong position, seems like it's bowed in and not out. could be the photo but idk just a suggestion. that's a sick winter set up
