What have you done to your car today?

[tug]

Yesterday i went to have a look at this; https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202405169774558?utm_source=haymarket_whatcar&utm_medium=partnership/url]

I was there for quite a while and got quite excited, it was a great looking E89 it had great spec and excellent condition. As i stood there pondering i looked over at my zed and it was like she was staring at me with an angry look! :lol: So i decided to shelve the idea for another day.

On the way home the zed drove absolutely perfect, it seemed even better than the drive over

I don't think my zed wants to let me go! :lol:

Added some metal pedals with a wing on that helps heel and toe improvement.

Sounds a very good reason to keep what you have

 

[Zedebee]

Officially dropped half its value today

Nonsense Bart, that’s less than 125,000 miles.
It just goes to show mileage is no impediment to having a great car

metal pedals with a wing on

Nice to have a decent set of grippy pedals . I was expecting more of a sticking out wing from the title though

 

[True-Blue]

Just put a set of blue dials in

Very ‘Alpina’, looks great, in no way biased :wink:

Technically not today. But got my car back from the body shop on Thursday after a full respray.
I opted for a couple of little changes. The eagle eyes among you might spot them.

Nicely debadged.
Regarding the coloured clocks, do all the warning lights show through correctly?
Wifey wants yellow but I’m not sure how well that would work?

Still a couple of more bits you have missed.

Regarding the gauges. Yes your remove the old back foils and replace. All the warning lights etc are all in exactly the same place.

Front reflectors and all black grilles.

I meant do the lights show through clearly? If you had yellow ones would the amber lights show up?

Well done but…..You have one more thing to spot!

Hmmm I see what you are saying agains the yellow gauges. Obviously it shows against the blue just like black.
They are led bulbs so I think you would still clearly see them

 

[Usel]

Complete door mirrors sprayed as well?

Bingo! well spotted

I had high gloss baseplates before. But the mirror caps got done

 

[Special Kay]

I think the lack of front fogs, reflectors and badges gives the car a very clean 'understated' look. Very impressive

Just need the red cycling LEDs in the grille now ‘Michael’.

There will be members on here that were not even born when that was on TV

 

[True-Blue]

Looking lovely, are you tempted to PPF the front end now all brand new?
