I will caution you. Although they do look good they might (if you have CA) mess with your car. I found this out the hard way.

In short, if your comfort access stops working properly it's because of those "smooth" looking puddle lights. Remove them and your troubles will go away

Well, driving to Poco (not in my M3) vs having it delivered to my door for free seemed appealing.

Yeah but getting it same day vs Costco's 7-10 business day shipping which takes longer than that (Personal Experience)

I don't have any pressing need for it right now, more that the price seems OK and Costco sometimes has stuff and then doesn't so I thought I'd jump on it now.
It may take 7-10 business days to stop raining before I could use it.

Today I attempted to replace the intake boots for my E92 M3 only to find they're clamped down with Oetiker clamps and finding replacement clamps is proving very difficult.

UPSROD · 04-05-2018, 07:24 PM

There are a lot of Oetiker clamps on eBay.

Yup, Costco had the 7000lbs quickjack on their site for like a few days not too long ago when I was looking. It is all gone now and I regret not getting the 7000lbs version.

I travel for work often and have collected a large amount of aeroplan miles. I redeemed some of the points for two $500 costco gift cards awhile ago... but still have enough points for a trip to Hawaii so I won’t get in trouble with the Mrs

Thanks for the help. Looks like they're missing the size I need which is a 75mm diameter with a 9mm band width.

UPSROD · 04-05-2018, 08:07 PM

I would think that 77 mm would work....send them a message regarding the 75 mm.

Scharbag · 04-05-2018, 09:20 PM

Levitated my M3 with my new quick jacks

Used the SUV add on thingers. Needed to use my old blocks to get them to work but it does get the car way up in the air!!

Snoochy boochy!!

Took the car out for date night with wifey. On the way back a night run through curvy woods. Downshifting heaven 6 mt.

Can't wait for spring to hit in full swing and get the summer shoes on.

FMLYSDN · 04-07-2018, 07:06 AM

Opened some boxes.

EJT86 · 04-07-2018, 10:21 AM

Some nice guys at a meet yesterday helped me fix my seat issue where the bolsters and lumbar support stopped working. It blew a fuse just like I suspected.

PACarGuy · 04-07-2018, 09:17 PM

Got it washed yesterday. Took it in today to get my new lower front control arms installed (had em sitting in the garage but wasn't able to get enough leverage on the breaker bar to install them myself) and then an alignment before I go ahead and put my summer wheels/tires back on.

I gotta say, just replacing the front LCA's and sway bar links w/new OEM makes the car feel much tighter and more responsive after 58K on the clock.

gazosnic · 04-07-2018, 10:26 PM

replaced belts and alternator - next up spark plugs and TBA
