What have you done to your car today?

[LittleZ4]

Decided to have a look at the inside of a rear light, might see if I can get round to doing something with it.

Well... Not so much today per se, but rather this weekend.



Swapped my 6-week old (to me) white 3.0Si for a Tiefgrün metallic on Friday, then gave it a quick clean on Saturday. It'll get a full detail, paint correction and ceramic coat in a few weeks once we have a free weekend in the shop

My young apprentice from across the road (Z-Edward) has spent the weekend helping me do the vanos overhaul on the 2.2i. OK, so it took at least twice as long as normal, but the satisfaction of watching him wield the spanners was worth it.
I owe him an apology as he indignantly informed me he is 9!, not 7 as previously reported :roll:
This morning he appeared at 8am and we set to, changing the seals etc. About an hour later I casually asked him what he'd had for breakfast? "Nothing! I wanted to start fixing the car! I told Mum I'd have some later."
Commendable attitude but I packed him off home while I had a coffee.
Honestly, it's not the car fixing that has satisfied me this time round, but the look on his face when I took him for a (slightly longer than necessary) test drive.

Maxton front splitter fitted to finish it off. Wonder how long that'll last

Today I’ve mainly been giving Kinger a hand removing the defunct water pump from his 35is, the car was on ramps but space was still tight & the uppermost retaining bolt was an absolute pig to reach as the pump’s positioned just above the anti roll bar.
It’s off the car now & waiting for the replacement to arrive tomorrow

How did you find installing it?

Bit of a pig is like saying the Hindenburg had a slightly bumpy landing, was an absolute bas***d of a job.
Thanks for all you help today, its very much appreciated.
New pump is due to arrive tomorrow morning.
The lions share of the job has been done, hopefully will be back on the road tomorrow afternoon

Interesting, They look great.

Are they CMwheels own brand or Riva's/atomic?, Im still on the look for some decent 18's but alot of the CSL's etc in 18 just look a bit small and lack the deep concave rear.

Swapped the hideous golden aerial for a much more appropriate BMW original. Changed the base to as this was fused to the “golden rod”…

They're cm own. I've had approx 30 sets of Csl reps now in various fitments. The best for me are thr atomics due to the fact they still have concave rears but the paint finish is somewhat better, but for 550 delivered for cm wheels own ones they are hard to fault other than the paint is quite thin

welded up a bunch of front quarter panel mount, after cutting off the originals as they were rubbing on the tire, that all went great till the Argon ran out.

re-tapped the intercooler as the thread let go, oversized the bolt to M8. solid as hell.

Nothing interesting today just went for a drive.
You know you bought the right car when you’ve driven it every weekend since you bought it!

Are you planning on keeping it all black with the kidney grills and wheels?

I just got CM wheels CSL replicas on mine in 19's. They are Atomics apparently.

Maxton aren't too far from me so I might bob over to see them. I like the splitter, your side skirts and their duck tail rear spoiler actually. All very subtle
