Ohhh that part. Yeah I guess that will need to be changed or painted too. Hopefully it's only like 30 bucks too. Haha

The inner part? I'll have to look closer.

Is that all?! Forget painting. I'm just buying a new one.
Hmm lots of twisting of old plastic. Sounds pretty risky. How much is a new mesh insert in case one breaks theirs trying it this alternative way?

Very nice. So you followed the DIY exactly, down to what products to use? I think I might have it book marked. It's definitely on my list of things to do. My lower grill is completely faded.

Any chance you could ask them what they used?
This must be a common design flaw with the nav system being under the vent. I notice that if I use the AC much my screen is apt to flicker here and there. I suspected it was condensation. How did you...
I did. I worked at if for a good while. Maybe I'll try again at some point. I might have to buy new ones. Not sure what i did with the other ones.
Well my original ones were rubber like. The new ones were foam like. They seemed to fit in the space but I couldn't press the lenses back on because the foam seemed to be too thick. Never was able to...
If it's going to last 100k then that will pretty much be be life of the car. Yay good investment!

Ohhhh it does feel good.
Definitely. Brand new wheel. It'll be like driving a new ZHP *wishful thinking*

M3 wheel arrived. It's so nice. Can't wait to swap out my alcantara. Yes, I will be putting the old wheel up for sale after I swap them out. It's in decent condition for its age.
Thanks for the Input.
How did that go? I'm told it's quite the pain and makes a huge mess. Also that it's a good idea to replace both when the master cylinder is off.

I haven't scanned the car in well over a year (I looked at my last log. sometime in 2014). I dunno. Car and its associated electrical features seem to work okay. Ill keep an eye on the battery. If...
2-3 years maybe? Not that old and it lives the easy California climate life.
I was idling through a parking lot last night and my car beeped and the DSC light and Brake light came on (amber). I got home and parked it, then checked the codes just now. Its been a year or so...
Oops. Yeah I put it in the block first. I thought I read that's how we were supposed to do it.
So this is weird. I come home last night and notice a huge puddle of oil in my parking spot. I look under the car and its dripping from the tray. I take it to the shop this morning and they call me...
Yeah. The BMW shop I used in SF was a good shop. Glad I found a similar one in SoCal. They even use the same europeon oil in their oil changes (Total) which I thought was funny.
Ive been sans mechanic since I moved to SoCal around the new year. Car was asking for an oil change so I found a BMW/Mini shop up the street from my work and decided to take my car there for its oil...

with a bunch of associated parts. Was helped by a trio of fellow Mafia members (Wyatt, John, William). I am exhausted. Car runs better than it has since I have...
Look around hoses or water pump weep hole for evidence of leaks, too
Hmmm. That appears to be the same foam gasket I tried. The thing was so thick I couldn't push the lens back on. Not sure what you did. Come do mine. Lol.
Can you give us the part numbers? Maybe BMW has been giving out the wrong gaskets to some of us.
