Well today i gave my new car a wash and wax, hoover. Cleared the roof drains and then decided those duck like bungs were stupid, so removed them. Checked tyre pressures and fitted mudflaps front and rear......ready for summer.

This afternoon I clean and sealed the roof with the AutoGlym kit which has brought it up a treat.
Washed it with Clean Slate to shift the old wax sealant.
Decided it didn't need claying so after a very detailed drying session i went ahead and polished it with my new Bilt Hamber cleanser polish, super stuff, best polish I've used to date.

Now safely away from the elements tucked away in the garage.

Tomorrow morning will see 2 (possibly 3) coats of Bilt Hamber Finis wax to seal the finish. And also a deep clean of the alloys and a once over of the interior. Then depending on the weather maybe some photos.

Looks absolutely superb ! One of the best colour combos with the 107s that I have seen. :thumbsup: Why have you fitted mudflaps for summer ? :wink: Is it supposed to be wetter than usual ? :rofl:

Sent it away for a week's holiday to a trusted indy in Edinburgh.
New disks,pads,sensors and replace brake fluid.
Inspection 1 service and MOT
Check fluids in gearbox and differential...replace if required.
Should be fighting fit for a summer's worth of top down cruising.

Picked up today,washed & vacuumed and running smoother than ever.
Craig Moncrieff cars out in the Gyle,Edinburgh.......highly recommended.......Craig set up on his own after 18 years at John Martin group.I met him as the service manager at Murray Lotus although he trained as a mechanic originally so has a good knowledge.
Invoice was £815 which seems like a lot of cash but it's peace of mind and the knowledge that all the work has been done without time constraints and to a high standard........worth every penny to me.
 
Engine warning light came on this week and I put my fault reader on the car. Answer system too lean bank 2 so left it until the weekend to have a look.
Quickest ever fault diagnosis around 10 seconds after opening the bonnet I noticed a rip in the intake boot.
If only all faults on my Z4 were that quick and that cheap..

Thankyou for compliment. I always fit mudflaps to protect the paintwork from debris thrown up from tyres :thumbsup:
 
Today I changed all the interior bulbs over to LED one's.

Who's bloody stupid idea was it to design the welcome lights in the bottom of the doors like that. Can't believe you have to take the door card off just to change a bulb. :headbang:
 
Polished exhaust tips, deep cleaned chrome grille (it was horrendous) then went out for an hour to enjoy the DLV modded back box with the top down!
Perfect hangover cure (along with oatcakes....) :driving:
 
I did things the wrong way around compared to forum custom

First I washed and waxed him.

Then took him out on a BMWCCGB run into Northumberland and Scotland and made him filthy. He will just have to stay like that all week now. Weirdly the two E89's on the run came out looking reasonably clean. Do E86s have special dirt magnetism ?
