And Phil’s Lambo project. ?

beauuuuutiful

Haha. For sure. Earlier than estimated too. box was ok was well packed. Not Amazon spec oversized. Delivering a micro sd in a banana box styles. ?

Ohhh bits. less than a week from Michigan to NZ.

i used this on mine also, its the sh*t

Rear deck looks great. One of the first thing’s I did on mine also.

Car failed its warrant today. Excessive play in right from rack end. order placed with fcp euro for the Lemförder tie rod kit. Great value at 104 usd for left and right plus boots. And the fcp lifetime warranty.

I used Chemical Guys all purpose cleaner to clean the surface. This was applied with a fresh micro fibre towel. I did this several times. I then used Maguires interior protection spray to bring back a bit the blackness and add some protection. this looked good but I wanted more black so used Solution Finish black trim restorer for a final coat.

Rear sill trim replaced today with a great condition 2nd hand one for an amazing price. and new clips. I feel whole now. Lol.

Completed my first solo oil change on the 530i today. Going for 12 month change intervals. Even though it’s not a daily the same cadence worked well on my E46. Car turns 20 next month. ?

Few minor things tiked off the list this last couple of weeks; - new radiator was dripping, turned out to be the drain plug wasnt as snug as it needed ot be, eaay fix - realigned my under tray brackes (how i saw the rad was leaking) and now all under tray hardware can find it's home. Also instaled new captive washer where needed for the under tray screws. - treated the rear cubby to a good clean and protect to remove the white ashy condition the rubber coating was starting to take on, now looks near new. - sorted rattle in drivers side seat belt mount and poorly fitted B pillar trim in the same job. grear and a tighten applied to the seat beld mount and removal and reinstal of the Lower B pilar trim meant i could liine it properly with al the clips in place. some whwre bent fomr soem haphazard reinstall in a previous life thankfuly they werent broken, as i had initialy thought. however in the processi noticed the rear seat trim is broken and missing a clip, so in the market for those, if anyone reading thiss has one. - Oil change this weekend, bit over due, due to lock down forgetfulness and other priortities but going to smash that out tonight or tomorrow.

Awesome work mate - well done.

Less harsh light is alo good for when the kids fall asleep in the back and you need ot transfer them with out waking the little Angels up

Not sure about those wheels mate. I’m happy to take them off your hands ? seriously though. Car is looking great. Really suits the silver trim. I found the auto level sensors in mine today. Just need to find some xenon lights now. Tempted to save for brand new ones

Shame this turned into a negative purchase for you. Enjoyed the detailed work you've put in. The new owener should have good peice of mind and enjoy the car, any thoughts on next project? (looking forward to more write ups)

20$ plus shipping?

Happy early Father’s Day to me. New low profile 3000kg jack.

Made it up the mountain today such a fun road up to Turoa

Repco had a special in Narva 150 plus bulbs this week. These claim to offer a longer beam length and better brightness at the same color temp I’ve got with the rest of the lights. Replacing the poor performing repco branded long life bulbs for the low beams only at this stage . I hate it when stuff like light globes gets skimped on. installing these and going for a night drive (mostly to get my kids to sleep) visibility was better with low beam and a lot better with high beam. Previously high beam was like having a hot spot in the middle with dim light on the edges of the beams now it is fuller everywhere, a welcome cost effective upgrade for now. id really like the angle to be a tad higher to go further down the road. Manual adjustment is something I miss from the e46

Try asking the tire shop to reverse mount the wheel for balancing. A local shop here had to do that for one on my e46 it sorted a shimmy out. Not sure why it made a difference but it did.
