wow $25-39?? that's it?
I remember paying $115+ for the e46 window regulators from online BMW parts depts
but i guess that was before Amazon's time

on my e46 sedan, i replaced 5 window regulators ... all 4 windows + 1 more time on one of them
if the e90 is basically the same, i'm not worried about it

Went to recon a couple areas after class for fall season photoshoots. It just finished storming and I attempted to capture the cool evening sky on the way home.

Drove to the office then back home in the pouring rain.

I really believe that less is more with the 3M tape, the only thing to watch for is to make sure that it is one solid line across the bottom of the spoiler with no gaps. They sell half inch and full inch, and I would mix and match the two depending on the area.

Full inch in the middle and half on the sides.

Use an X-Acto knife to trim the sides, I wouldn't be too worried about cutting the clear coat on the bottom.

If you reapply -

Soak the whole seam with goo-gone, then use floss or fishing tape underneath, and scrape everything off both surfaces with a plastic razor blade

blade

Clean the car with dawn dish soap, then use rubbing alcohol to get any oil or adhesive residue off.

Apply the 3m tape to the spoiler, then get it lined up on the trunk, and use blue painters tape to position the spoiler on the trunk and make Sharpie reference lines on the trunk and spoiler to get positioning right. Rubbing alcohol to get the sharpie off

flip the spoiler forward and peel back the backing (_difficult_), then flip it back while pulling back on the tape and guide based on the sharpie lines. Press down firmly then allow a few hours to cure / bond.

I've done it a couple times and I found that if I applied the tape onto the banking or curved part of the spoiler, it caused rubbing and uneven fitment.

It's been good to "filmed on a closed course in Mexico" speeds

Had the battery cable recall completed, then drove it to pool league (billards) and home in the pouring rain.

Having pushed the liner forward by hand a little it seems fine now but remains to be seen if the airflow through at speed pops it back out again.

Took it out for likely the last drive of the season. Gave her a bath, filled up the tank and preparing to put her away

God, I am so going to miss this car.

Grip Addict · 10-23-2019, 07:24 PM

Drove to the office then home. Circle of life.

akkando · 10-23-2019, 09:38 PM

Took it out bug smashing at lunch on the back roads. First time on these tires.
Got lucky traffic. Didn't get stuck behind anyone, everyone moved out of my way, no cops. Made it back in time for my meeting.

MDM does cut power and gets awkward on the bumpy parts of these roads though which is too bad. Checked tire pressure hours later and was surprised how warm they were, I guess a lot of heat is held in the engine/brakes for a while.
