Drove it like i do everyday

joneperry · 07-07-2010, 09:02 PM

yesterday i changed the oil filter housing gasket made sure all the bolts in that area were torqued to spec... last week i changed the entire ccv system intake boot, throttle body housing gasket, icv grommet, the vanos oil line, replaced some washers and O-Rings...today i got to unscrew all the ignition coils and got stuck at removing the wiring harness for them..i also let some oil slip out accidentally

joeski3d · 07-07-2010, 09:46 PM

I replaced my busted rear window regulator saving myself $250 in labor.

But I paid for it with 2.5 gallons of sweat. Not because it was a difficult job (quite simple after reviewing some DIYs actually) but because it was 102 degrees today.

Raymond42262 · 07-07-2010, 10:30 PM

I washed it thru the carwash and gave it a tank of 93 octane.

E-XLVI · 07-08-2010, 07:33 PM

over the last week...

Purchased a Porter Cable 7424XP
- Washed -Citrus soak
- Clayed (medium grade)
- Meguiar's M105 / Orange Pad (specific sections only)
- Menzerna PO106FA / Orange Pad
- Menzerna PO85RD / White Pad
- CG Jetseal 109 / Blue Pad (2 coats)
- Pinnacle Souveran wax (by hand - 2 coats)
- 3M Metal Polish (Exhaust Tips)

Polish/Pad combo worked very well.

spencers · 07-08-2010, 07:54 PM

^ SUPERB!!!

Today I changed out my grilles. Bought some lightly used M3 coupe kidney grills.
I really think the previous owner somehow fit sedan grills in there. The old ones were terrible!

Also, found out I have an OEM alarm installed. Managed to break the tabs where the interior roof sensor is, and had to superglue the tabs back on. Good as new!

rka976 · 07-08-2010, 08:02 PM

Today I ordered Orion V2's. Should have them for install on Monday.

tony325ci_51 · 07-08-2010, 08:05 PM

Today... Just washed my 330Ci when I came home from work, ready for driving it at the weekend.

And here is how it turned out....(sorry for the shitty iphone pics)

Imola.ZHP · 07-10-2010, 04:42 AM

Installed the Connects2 and Parrot bluetooth kit Might have started on the front brakes if I hadn't spent an hour trying to figure out why I didn't have radio anymore after installation. The power wire/pin popped out of the aftermarket wiring harness, easy fix once the trouble was located...

About to go loom, tape and zip tie my Orion V2 kit, its been on the car since February, so I'm just slightly behind on wrapping that up...

Boomdog · 07-10-2010, 05:07 AM

I ordered:
1 E46 Smoked LED Tail Lights For Sedan (98-01)
1 E46 Smoked Front Indicators For Sedan (98-01)
1 E46 Smoked Side Indicators For Sedan (98-01)
1 LED Reverse Bulbs (White)
1 LED License Plate Bulbs (White)
1 LED Front Indicator Bulbs (Amber)
1 LED Side Indicator Bulbs (Amber)

and put a deposit on some 19" Mesh Gunmetal Alloys.

Oh, and drove around all day listening to some cool trance.
