422B (though you could easily go larger if you wanted, up to 424B) and 419B fit perfectly if anyone is interested.

Now I'm just waiting for Safelite to call so I can request that my co-worker's boyfriend to come and replace my windshield.

Today I installed my set of BMW Performance Cross-Drilled rotors (front and back), also did the Shark Injector. Was a little nervous about messing up the Shark Injector so I read and reread the procedure just to make sure I wouldn't mess anything up. I did get a battery charger and hooked it up and did the install...no problems. :thumbsup

Will post pics of the new rotors later...:biggrin

Update: Here are the pics...:pimp
I was told that I got the last set of front cross-drilled rotors available from BMW in the US...at least that's what the parts guys at my local dealership told me and they showed me the computer screen showing this...I just feel lucky that I got a set :thumbsup

Took apart my passenger door today to fix a speaker rattle and try to fix some excess window play that causes my window to sometimes go above the trim and miss the little slot it goes into when I'm driving fast. I used this DIY:

http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/...ix-diy-t53950/

It was very very easy to take the door trim off. Use a T15 though, it seems to fit better than a T20.

I gorilla glued the speaker foam as it was just sitting freely in there, and I tightened the window screws but it didn't fix the window play :(. I might need to ask my shop about this one. My speaker rattle seems to be gone now though! I'm hoping it doesn't come back. My door trim sits better now too. I think the tint shop that did the original tinting did a shitty job with getting to the windows, as they completely ripped the foam just to get to the bolts! I glued it back as best as I could though.

To anyone hesitant of taking your trim apart on your door, don't worry about the clips. They are simple rivets and are easily replaceable if in the highly unlikely event you break one. They simply sit in the trim. They pop right out of the door with a little force.

Painted out my lower grill :biggrin

Nice! Did you remove to paint it, or just tape it out?
