It's been my daily driver since and it's a hoot - just love driving this thing. I was putting on about 250 miles a week pre-Covid, and now that's cut in half with new work arrangement. Only gripe is that at work I had covered parking, and now it's at home 5 days a week the Florida sun is taking liberties with my clear coat. Looking to wet sand the paint and finally throw on my Euro bumper in the garage. Also OG bearings…for now.

Beautiful car - I have the same problem but California sun

Car cover or gazebo might be the way to go.

Thanks! Yeah I've got plans to extend my driveway and probably get a car cover for the time being. My neighbor has a live oak that dumps sap and other BS in our direction so that's why it's in the street.

Nice, I'm on the waitlist as well for an Autosolution short shifter with Ronald. Can't wait to install it and keep adding more miles for smiles.

Ajolives · 02-18-2022, 03:32 PM

@GotV8? how long is the wait? I've been meaning to order one and never get around to it.

FWIW I ordered an SSK from Ronald on Jan 20th and was told April timeframe.

drrust · 02-18-2022, 06:42 PM

My E90 just went over 187k miles. Bearings were done around 109k. Likely having another set put in around 200k.

Just found and bought back my 2008 Sparkling Graphite M3 this week. Been searching for it for years and finally found it. Will post the crazy story soon.

I traded it in back in late 2017 with 89K miles and bought it back with 132K miles. Will be doing rod bearings, mounts, and general maintenance as soon as it arrives from Ohio...hopefully end of next week.

just the usual stuff. nothing out of the ordinary.

i did replace some of the pullies and belts right from ESS in 2021. rod bearings done at about 210,000kms. TBA done at around 100k after the supercharger went on. over 160,000km / 100,000 miles on the supercharger by now.

it's terrible on gas... and worth it.

Bigtriece · 02-20-2022, 03:25 PM

2010

111,500 miles

Put right at 10k on it in a year. 1000 of that was the drive home with it.

TA's done at 90k
RB's done at 102k
Valve covers are starting to leak.
Intake, test pipes, and tune.

My favorite car I've ever owned. Just wish it had about 50 more HP! My old V10 M6 had the perfect amount of power.

2008 e90 126k miles. Been restoring it since purchasing in June of 2021 (TAs done) and finally got it detailed.

Restoration work so far:
OEM steering wheel
ZHP shift knob
Fox red split armrest
Passenger headlight ballast + bulb
Battery replaced
Battery tender on it
Tinted a window that was previously replaced and left untinted
Hood struts replaced (got tired of the hood falling on my head)
Airbag bypass on passenger seat weight sensor -- always active
Passenger seat belt chime bypass -- since it always thinks someone is sitting in it.
New tires
New plugs
New drive belt idler pulley
Replaced all filters & fluids

Issues remaining:
Rod Bearings need replaced -- I drive it easy until it warms up.
Adaptive headlight error
Alternator needs replaced -- clock loses minutes when not connected to the tender overnight.
