my ss2 e90 manual

Such an underrated exterior color!

Replaced the tension strut arm bushings with some dinan goodies. If your car is over 100k, they probably need to be switched out by now. My oems were completely torn off lol.

Those are FCAB's correct? How does it drive with the Dinan?

Front is slightly more responsive to the road. You can "feel" the road more with the front end. Turning confidence has definitely increased for me. While braking while turning has also been stiffened so it's doesn't shimmy around as much.

Recently acquired my dream bmw seats. These seats are beautiful. They are a little worn & scuffed up but I ordered a bunch of cleaning supplies to hopefully clean the seats & steering wheel up.

Drifter2090 · 02-10-2020, 08:46 AM

Wow congrats!! Those are amazing!

Trade your palladium interior for my black, it will go better with those seats haha

Blindside_137 · 02-10-2020, 02:19 PM

Those seats though!! Incredible

RC Post · 02-10-2020, 02:29 PM

Looking good. You got an amazing deal on those seats and wheel!

Erickuokwa · 02-18-2020, 04:17 AM

Stains + dirt extracted from the steering wheel & seats. Looking and smelling much better thanks to the sonax Alcantara cleaner!

reidetailing · 02-18-2020, 07:36 AM

Steering wheel looks noticeably better, Eric. Great work bringing them back to life!

Erickuokwa · 02-24-2020, 03:05 AM

A very needed decon>sealant>wax procedure

reidetailing · 02-24-2020, 08:57 AM

Erickuokwa you're the reason why I went with SSII and then got OG Mags on my car...yes I'm fanboying hard right now <3

Erickuokwa · 03-02-2020, 04:42 AM

A few hours after letting the diluted Meguiar's hyper dressing sit. It looks 10x better than before.. I wish I could've gotten a before picture.

Erickuokwa · 03-02-2020, 04:45 AM

First wash after the collinite wax. I don't know how I feel about wet-look tire shine, more of a matte finish person.

Eric, for engine bay plastics and rubber I normally go with 303 Aerospace to coat such pieces, and then finish it off with Chemical Guys Black on Black.

Perhaps give that a try.

SoCalRPM · 03-03-2020, 09:41 PM

Enjoyable thread - nice build. Thanks for sharing!

Erickuokwa · 03-05-2020, 05:53 PM

Which one would you pick? Color matched vs reflector

Blindside_137 · 03-05-2020, 06:36 PM

Color matched all day

reidetailing · 03-05-2020, 07:58 PM

I personally like the orange reflectors (makes the car seem old and retro)...I'd either go orange reflectors or Euro Bumper for not reflectors at all.

HELROTM3 · 03-05-2020, 08:25 PM

OE orange reflectors!

E90M3velocity · 03-05-2020, 11:17 PM

orange or euro bumper, but you're one lucky fella with those seats!

Drifter2090 · 03-06-2020, 08:00 AM

Colour matched for sure! (if you pick orange, sell me your matched ones!)
