I did my serpentine belt last week. Today I replaced 4 coils and did a chem valve clean. Was productive and oh how it feels to drive a bi turbo actually running right!! Now if only my shocks would get here I could actually drive it fast :-/

I'm on the verge of ordering an E93 CF trunk and hood, on top of all the other shit in my garage that is going to be installed hopefully soon.

What chemical did you use for valves?

Just the 2$ spray can of Walmart brake cleaner. Nothing special, than some elbow grease and rags... lots of rags. Used 2.5 cans total

It finally rained in NY after the cold flash last couple of weeks... not just a sprinkle either but torrential rain. Does a free wash courtesy of mother nature count?

They are neat, i thought about it when i bought the car 2 years ago but had the same feeling as you. In the end someone else bought them for me so its not really a loss on my part. Sure some peopke might think its rice, but it made my friend feel like he gave a good gift.

Drove her for the first time in a month or so. Been driving the LX470 a lot recently due to the shitty weather.

Looks like she will continue to sit. Got a X3 loaner from BMW for the blower motor wiring recall as there have been several cars burn locally according to the service manager. They offered one up at no cost until parts come in and my car is fixed.

I still have to call and get that situation sorted out for myself. I just don't want to have any issues because i don't have rental coverage on my insurance. Anyway i finished out the day taking out the rear seatbelts. Not much weight gone, but i guess everything adds up.

My dealer sent me to Enterprise because they didn't want to use a loaner for an extended period of time. BMW covered DW insurance charges for the rental as well. No charge to me.

Thanks for that information, i called today and talked about my options with them. I will also be getting an enterprise car. Im glad to hear about your insurance because that was my main concern. Now all i have to do is find someone to ride with me haha. Today i also started making my rear seat delete panels, early stages lol. 20180123_183341.jpg
