Oil change. Mobil 1 Euro and Mann. Refreshed power steering fluid. Injector cleaner. Put about 135 miles on her with the top down just to be sure everything was OK! It was..face hurts from smiling all day!

Installed a fresh passenger side c-pillar and a CCA grille badge.
Does anyone know where I may find some gloss black grilles? I must be missing something because I can't find them anywhere without the ///M tri-colors.

Got my driver's side airbag replaced--finally replacing a third and last airbag (three others had already been done, thankfully). The service manager at the dealership said my ZHP was in--and I quote--"fantastic" shape, and then he commenced to babble repeatedly, "I REALLY like that car"... "I REALLY like that car". I was beaming, of course, and thinking, " and you guys will never, ever work on it!" (other than free recalls) : )

Bimmerworld claims to have gloss black grills... http://www.bimmerworld.com/Body-Aero...acelift_2.html
Pulled the front wheels to diagnose a clicking sound. Pretty sure one of the ball joints is shot. Also tried to go ahead and replace the tie rods. Much like everything on this effing car, the outer ends are completely seized to the front knuckles. I swear to god my next car is coming from Arizona.
I got pissed off and decided to start my prepping for the ceramic weekend. I guess I'm walking to the office tomorrow.

Wheels:
Iron-X, then Meg's Wheel Brightener, followed immediately with soapy water and clay bar (I like Zymol soap, it suds like crazy). Since they're basically new I'll skip the polish step. Then I'll hit it with CarPro Eraser in prep for the ceramic, and coat with Dlux.
Paint:
Iron-X, Zymol bath and clay, dry.
Then I'll wet sand and apply touch up in a couple places, and wet sand again after dry. Then Meg's 105 compound with a MF cutting pad in a few places, but otherwise a yellow pad. Follow that with M205 polish with a white pad. This should complete the correction.
I'll use CarPro Eraser to clean off any chemical residue from the polish, and then apply the ceramic.
I went with the GTechniq EXO + Crystal Serum Light (CSL) kit.
