What'd you do to your BMW today?

Recommended Posts

@balancerider will do, but you know I will be very biased ?

So far, to quote Finding Nemo: “it’s big and it’s blue” ?

Hoping to get down to the race meeting at Puke over the week-end so will have more of a feel after that.

Had the front windows tinted to more closely match the rears. Still a little lighter but much better.

I like the garage/shed, looks like tilt/slide doors on up to 3 sides?

No quite - I wish it was that cool. 
 

It’s a single garage to the right with a large double carport on the front. With the door fitted to the left it basically seals off the whole front of the property with our hedges. I believe that a lesser or different consent applies to a carport so it would have been an easier conversion at the time.

Yeah, it works pretty well. I use the smaller enclosed garage as my workshop for want of a better term. It’s an older building so I plan to lay carpet ties and line it at some point to tidy it up. That’s the dream at least!

Engine/gearbox out again for me today. Not by choice.

Decided after morning coffees to troubleshoot clutch on my E36 compact with M52. Was swapping various clutch slave rods as nothing seems to be engaging in there. Nek minute... rod #3 pops off through slave hole into bellhousing! .....Bye!

Quick feel around and I had my fingers on it for a couple of seconds then slipped down into the abyss. ?

Replaced dodgey starter on the compact. What a mission that is! Also found a missing vacuum line bung, which explains the low idle when cold and high idle when warm. But now it’ll either stall, idle at 1500,  or hunt between 1200-1700. Stupid thing.

managed to score a set of the e46 15” alloys that are pretty light, with a brand new set of Bridgestone ecopias for $100 off Facebook for the compact too, so gave them a good clean and put them on. Are each 1.1kg lighter than the Steelies with 195 vs the 205 ecopias. Not that it’ll make a difference

also dropped the m3 off to sort the weird miss/flat spot and give the tune a wee tickle up

Managed to catch one of the last couriers out of the parts warehouse before the big lockdown.

Gives me something to do whilst being stuck at home with the kids!-

Didn't know you played A8... 5+ years for me. And now it's gone to s*it.

Yep... but not any more, their game economy changes have made it impossible... and I'm a top 100 player worldwide (Android), people who have less resources than me have almost no chance without paying many, many real $. Asphalt 9 is no better, perhaps even worse.

Replaced my corner lights to these - black inners and clear lenses which I had hoped would better match the xenons. Jury is still out, definitely not getting rid of my factory clear / white ones though.

Not sold personally, car still looks outstanding though!

I am battling with the same big questions today - smoked or orange indicators?
