Very nice. I'd love to hear yours sometime, I'm in the South Bay, so sometime when I'm down there or you're up here.

Well not today, since I've been on extended travels for work, but last weekend while home I finally installed the used BMW strut bar I bought some someone on M3forum. Looks cool but didn't have much chance to drive it after installation. The studs on the Ground Control E46 street camber plates are just barely long enough to use with both the OEM reinforcement plates and the BMW strut bar end plates.

When I first got the car, about 3 months ago, I used some krylon for plastics black spray paint to paint the front bumper trim back to black. More of a test to see how it held up then anything else. It held up so today I removed ALL the trip I could get off, front bumper (with my new plate delete strip) rear bumper trip, trunk handle, hood vent thing, and prepped and painted everything. Got it all back on and ill be damned if it does not make this car look a TON better, the faded plastics really made it look its age! Loving my plate delete strip to! Now I need to do the door trip and all the faded black plastic around the windows

Passenger side E90 headlight arrived today! As soon as garage renovations are finished, headlight retrofit will be continuted/completed...

*EDIT*- Just noticed that an auction was ending soon, so I did a buy it now... OEM Homelink module coming my way! :biggrin

Well, I'm completely renovating my garage. Full disassembly of the workbench, remove all goods and storage, paint the entire thing, put up 6 new fluorescent light fixtures, epoxy coat the floor (the fancy kind with the colored sprinkles), relocate the ceiling fan, run electrical and cable for the wall mounted flat screen, and then install new pulls on all of the built in cabinets...

It'll take me a week or two, but I'm excited for the result. Giving my baby a new home! :biggrin

Sounds awesome, I'm happy for you.

All I need to do to follow your example is purchase a home to have a garage.

I'm submitting an offer for a home tomorrow (Friday) so we shall see how it goes.

Good luck Gordo!!! :thumbsup

TT + iPhone4


edit: I parked my ZHP inside my garage for the day while I drove my ///M to work. Spending the day with the ///M while the ZHP stays cool :)

Yes, my ZHP is sitting on the garage right now. I still have to finalize my order for the cooling system refresh...

Thanks to BMAParts.com for great pricing!!!

Sweet man, good luck! Owning a home is a LOT of work, but its a lot of fun too. I've found that its sort of like modding a car. Of course, there is no adrenaline rush like when test driving the new parts, but the thought of knowing the money is being 'invested' as opposed to blown on a depreciating asset (car) sort of offsets it.

Overall, its a lot of fun. Good luck on your offer!

^Well said sir! On a side note, I have to say with this car, unlike my others, I'm getting more enjoyment out of maintaining it and cleaning up existing parts to get it back to factory fresh, then I would from buying a ton of new mods. My list of mods that I want is tiny compared I my list of new OEM parts and preventative matinance parts that I want. Loving it
