I was told that coating them in OptiCoat will make them much easier to clean. Going to try it on my new wheels.

Yahala Bakery Run!

The Yalaha Bakery Run with the Central FL BMW group! Great weather (near 80 and not a cloud in the sky!, a lovely route through the twisties (a 20 mile stretch of 70-100mph+ using the paddles - didn't suck!) and a really nice group of enthusiasts!! Several other M’s... hearing the V8’s roar thru the twists sounded FANTASTIC!! Good times!

*For my fellow E93’s - the wind deflector up, all windows down - 120mph+... no problem!!

Plasti dip'd my 219's and mirror caps. Loads of fun with 25 bucks in materials! This stuff is addictive....

Hood vents are next.

I finally took the plunge and bought the OEM Performance Spoiler I have to tell you I thought the spoiler would have more substance too it then it did I suppose it's a weight savings thing.

Here are a few pictures after the install.

Re-balanced all my tires yesterday since they rotated on the rims. Scored a used set of 4 RS-3s for free to practice my oversteer control!

Treated my baby to a 9hr professional detail today. She deserved it after all the abuse she took at the track this weekend.

That was great. The camera hardly moves! Which GoPro you bought? I'm buying one tomorrow. Which mount did you used?

Thanks! Can't wait to do some vids myself.

My son is driving a 2000 E46 we purchase new when he was 5. He loves the car. He loves how it handles. He just came back from BMW Performance DrivingSchool (teenagers). the car Its in pretty good shape. He takes care of her pretty well, we just did the 100K maintenence even though is still in the 90's (miles).

Nice! Since I bought mine used, and he'll need to have several years of driving (and added maturity) before I'd entrust him with a car this powerful, it will be pushing 20 years old before it's his! Fun to dream, I guess.

Haha looks like I may have misspoken. Should have specified that I HAD all that work done rather than implying I did it myself, but the essence is still the same! Glad to say that I'm all ready for spring
