Ha.

By the way e92 M3 DCT ZCP is still a LOT better. IMHO it was the best car ever made in the history of BMW.

I'm convinced that if BMW made the e9x a limited edition car, it would be an instant cult classic.

Fortunate for petrolheads pretty much anyone can get one to enjoy. Way underrrated still.

I actually think it is easier doing in on jack stands as you can sit the sub frame and steering racking on the floor and there’s nothing like lying down on the job!

I got one pair of bearings out before calling it a night - bearings and engine mounts look okay. Car has 52,000kms...

Photo of the old bearings next to a new BE bearing.

how did you get BE bearings?
it seems like everyone's backordered

Took her to the mountains to a little house!

Hey thank you, I am not sure what percentage it is on my car. It was already installed by the previous owner. As for the dot matrix in the rear, I feel it could be better. I have seen some really nice jobs done. Mine is not bad at all but again I have seen better here on the board. I have thought about stripping it myself and going with a ceramic tint. Just other things I want to do first before fixing something that is not an issue.

WNS2N_T · 11-05-2020, 02:42 PM

Finally decided to install MODE Carbon GTS Wing.. I like how it blends on GT4 lip.. IMO.

Good thing I have sourced an AW trunk to drill. OG Trunk still intact.

Epoustouflant · 11-05-2020, 03:53 PM

1x1 (roof matching) complete carbon mirror replacement caps with OE mounting clips.

The kicker; Made in Germany - for around the price of Chinese alternatives.

Will fit these hopefully next week and report back for GB potential!

Yvette · 11-06-2020, 01:17 AM

Ahah! Your GTS lip is ready. I'll PM you!

kskpsu · 11-07-2020, 10:22 AM

Ended up doing brake pads yesterday, but more importantly, the wheel swap and debut of gunmetal 219s as my winter wheels to replace my previous chinese replica boat anchors. $140 for new, OE front 219s made by BBS (getbmwparts)? Yes, please. Running with 5mm spacers up front and 20mm in the rear.

stefan_e36 · 11-07-2020, 10:47 AM

A bit “detailing” after this season:
Only washing and leather care

Aint nothing wrong with M219s and spacers. Such a clean and understated look IMO.

Cyberdemon · 11-07-2020, 04:07 PM

Finished the CarPlay install and tried giving my ac condenser a cleaning. We'll see how long it lasts.

roastbeef · 11-08-2020, 04:49 PM

Went out for a quick drive/photo session.

Stylo328 · 11-08-2020, 05:23 PM

Washed her and installed new oem mats, Pedal Haus pedals and heel pad, and Lux H8 189 angel eye bulbs.

bmw>benz · 11-08-2020, 06:57 PM

BBK, carboproject plenum and MPE installed.

Ajolives · 11-08-2020, 07:09 PM

Just found out from Stylo328 that I need a heel pad in my life.

Also got overzealous at Lowe's this morning. It all fit, and the trim/leather survived.
