Since it's the beginning of the year I thought it would be a good idea to list out all the maintenance items that most likely will need attention -
- CCV (again ) + O2Pilot mod
- VANOS + VCG
- Engine Mounts - M3 upgrade
- New rear tires - if I decide to buy Conti's DWS06 again
- RTABSs
- CSB/Guibo
- Fuel Pump - bought already waiting for the one in the car to fail
- Subframe bushings - probably a long shot but let's see
- Wheels - unlikely unless I find a good deal on used Apex Arc 8's or square set of BMW style 68's (8.5" width)
- Brake pads and Rotors
Don't think anything else needs attention but we will see

Anybody have any experience with this?

Right now I just water the car down and apply car shampoo using a wash mitt but I was thinking this would be better.

Thats a nice list. I got the rear suspension overhauled late last year and it made such a huge difference. Don't think you need to attack the subframe bushings - per Peter those do not wear out as much as the RTABs or the upper/lower (outer) ball-joints.
I also have VANOS + oil line (plus VCG) and brake overhaul as part of my 2017 list. The brake overhaul will consist of pads, rotors, calipers and lines.

Get a former. You will like it.
Why do you need another CCV??
