Saw my oil sensor light come on as I was picking up slugs (HOV riders). Parked and checked it. Level was in gap below "good" range after 3-4 min. I added a touch to be safe and then headed north on 95. Light didn't return. Maybe it was a tad low or maybe my sensor is having sympathy issues along with Colin's buggy one.

Pay a professional to do that. The front end is a $1600 job including labour. You don't want to screw up the material. It's really expensive.

But I can wash the front end without worrying about swirling or scratching. It's as glossy as the clear coat so there is no difference to the naked eye. The layer is thick enough to feel slightly rubbery so rocks will bounce off but still hard feeling next to feeling my front doors which are not wrapped.

I like that if I do swirl the surface, within 30 minutes it'll be back to perfect gloss.

My father-in-law and I went to the DMV to transfer the e90 title to his name. Later we stopped at my Indy, so they could meet each other. He plans to take the car for service to them, just like I did the past 5 years.

Bye ... e90 !

Replaced driver's side mirror motor, well got BP to replace it for me :) Also installed new ebay aspherical mirrors.

Upon further investigation of the dead driver's mirror motor, I think I see what caused it to stop working. Not sure how it even happened

Drove the beast today to meet up with Dimitri in Sac (eurosonic). Picked up a Spal fan bracket for the M. Now I need the sensor and fan so I can remove the fan clutch before...boom.

Uh yeah I think that could be the cause! How do you like the mirrors.
