Obert's 2013 328i Build Thread

obert · 03-28-2019, 10:48 PM

Wireless charging pad showed up today. Waiting on LCI cup holder.

obert · 03-30-2019, 10:20 PM

Did all of my front end work and put the new wheels on

it does rub just a little if I corner hard so I will be rolling the fenders. I did raise it about a 1/4 inch to keep it from rubbing under normal driving conditions.

All of the little clunking and rocking when I come to a stop is gone after installing all the new front end parts.

Before.........

After.......

My wheel lock set up because I don’t trust people lol

I will roll fenders next weekend

obert · 03-31-2019, 05:29 PM

LCI cup holder retro and wireless phone chager

Before.......

After.........

Ordered a fender roller so I hope to be able to do mine this next weekend.

Nothing even comes close to transforming the car like those wheels. Are you getting the M sport body soon? I think you might as well at this point lol

I don’t know about soon but yes lol

I need to get the alignment done this week and pull the rear fenders this next weekend if the roller gets here.

Also a bleeder valve was leaking on the LF caliper. I snugged it down but I did buy another one and some more brake fluid.

So I have a few small things to get strait.

obert · 04-03-2019, 11:02 PM

My alignment results from putting BC coils on, replacing front end parts and new tires and wheels.

obert · 05-12-2019, 08:24 PM

Not much going on with my build.

Just replaced spark plugs today. Seems to run a little less ruff.

Not really sure what’s next.

obert · 01-25-2020, 10:28 PM

Not a mod but I got my timing chain replaced under warranty at 64,000.

Going to make a trip to the Bay Area and pick up some sport seats next month.

Future mods are backup camera from bimmertech and replacing my front struts and rear rotors

obert · 02-02-2020, 01:53 PM

Picked up some OEM LCI taillights today. Should be here this week

obert · 02-17-2020, 09:38 PM

Bought and installed front red stitched sport seats.

BMW Seattle. I took it in a couple of times for the noise. First time they said nothing was wrong. The second time they said everything was sounding normal but they will do a cold start the next morning. I didn’t hear from them so I went there after work expecting them to say they heard nothing and to my surprise the SA told me the Forman heard the noise and they wanted to keep my car.

Was it difficult to install the wireless charger? and would you mind sharing where you bought it? Great wheels by the way!! Totally changed the look!!!

If you have the same cup holder then it’s easy. It just snaps in and you plug it in. I got it off AliExpress.

Thanks for the comments.
