What have you done to your car today?

[enzed4]

to be fair, if you kerb your alloys you’ve got to ask yourself whether you should even be driving... :lol:

Seriously? . Life happens. I was turning left into a narrow street when a 4WD coming the other way decided to take up 3/4 of the road at the intersection. I had to pull over as far left as possible and the rear left rim just kissed the curb as I went around. Not big damage at all, but annoying.
I'm guessing you would have dropped a gear, hammered the accelerator and just drifted the rear out slightly to get around the the corner between the curb and the 4WD? :lol: Wish we could all be driving Gods.
NB - your 4 Vert looks the bees with that wheel setup and lowered - great job

Changed out the orrible wheel nuts and shoddy lockers


For some nice shiny ones


Thats better

 

[ARCS]

Gave it a coat of this stuff. It certainly leaves a nice shine to it so will probably go over it again after it cures.

 

[Phoenixboy]

Washed and hoovered

Bit more progress on my home made aero side skirts

Picked up a re-powder coated from ARB , which came for Lithuania and almost mint and only a couple of paint bubbles £20 for blasting and coating wasnt worth the effort of trying to do a sub average level job in the cold with rattle cans. Also ordered a rocker cover gasket and valve motor gasket and oil filter housing gasket. Belt and braces and all that. Seem to have a strange pungent whiff in the cabin and suspect its a slight weep somewhere but not found it. Also had delivered a pair of Meyle HD drop links for the front for when the bar goes in.
Also SORN'd it , pump the tyres to 50psi ,wiped off with optimum no rinse , as too manky to take outside and wash, then chucked the cover on and off to sleep. Car sits on an optimiser with a dehumidifier anyway .
Need to get 5 ltr of Fuchs engine oil and filter yet and that's the tinkering for Christmas and New Year for next years driving.

Installed LED lights in my E85 for the exterior door handles, floor puddle light strip and interior door handle lights and added a splash of red and black to my badges!

Where did you get hold of your wing badges from?

Cheers

Did the disa valve this morning. Whilst it seemed to be ok the O ring was missing, so at least it was worth checking for that.

Next up (but not today) is the Vanos. Black Friday deal got me £40 off

 

[Wookster78]

from?

Painted the wing badges myself, were off eBay

Inspection 2 at RBM Hampshire yesterday. What a nice guy, great service and a very reasonable price

Had the CDV deleted and it really does make a difference. God only knows why BMW kept them in UK spec cars.

Forgot to order the oil cooler gasket, so did that today. Looked at when I last did an oil change and due to lockdown and sorning the car, meant it only did 1k miles since the service, so not going to bother changing it , until just before the NC500 , take 2 , in June .
Ordered one of those Sealey under bonnet inspection bar light that clamps to the bonnet and gives better light for doing stuff in this darkness we live in this time of year. 13hr battery. Lets hope I dont need all of it for the gaskets I am changing

107s off and 135s with all seasons on; it’s been regularly below zero here all week and today was the first decent day to do the swap.

 

[JULIAN2258]

New rims, but unsure if I like them or not. I feel I see so many pictures of z4 with Csl that it is that or nothing. Let me know what you guys think.

Swapped over to winter wheels today. Weren’t what I was looking for exactly but I’ve decided I quite like them.

Nice new uncluttered plate and room for 2 inside!
