Got my servicing done.

Maybe its just in my head, but the car seems to be running smoother now. I wasn't even expecting that.

Picked these up for pretty cheap. Perfect color match and so far so good.

Found out last night they would be replacing the radiator fan for my drivetrain malfunction mishap. Today I got a call to let me know they broke the coolant line while working on it so they had to rush order that now too. Won't get my car back till EOD Friday at the earliest now. Also concerned about their skills too lol.

Parked safely at the station - apparently this just happened- looks like everyone was ok. Euro delivery plate on the M3 by the looks of it.

I had F80 control arms installed and the ride height raised about 1/2". It is now nearly max setting for KW V2's.

Improvements are very noticeable on my twisty backroads commute. Understeer is much harder to find, steering feel has improved, and turn in is sharp as a scalpel. Have a track day @ Lime Rock on Monday to where I am anxious to see the benefits most.

What happened to that poor Bimmer is indeed a tragedy...

I wasn't there to see the impact. My guess is the Altima was letting a car turn into the lot and the M3 wasn't expecting the car to slow/ Stop.

Yes I'm not a huge fan of YMB but the wheels are unfortunate.

Shame for both drivers, but that's why it's an accident. Looked like everyone was ok though.

Today,

@55k miles
2013 BMW 335i 6MT

-oil change with Liqui-Moly 5w40 (with ECS magnetic drain plug) 7qts
-tranny drain and fill with Redline MTL: 2 quarts (took about 1.5 bottles)
-rear differential drain and fill (only has “fill plug”) Redline 75w85 (spoke to rep at Redline about it because I was going to go with the popular 75w90
-coolant flush (BMW OEM coolant)

Took it at M-Tech Autocare, go see EJ, this dude is legit and knows exactly what he’s doing. Read his profile on YELP and talk to him.

My original trim is gloss piano black. Dust and fingerprint magnet, and I sometimes caught a wicked glare off it in the sun.

Of the roll I got, I used less than half. I'd guess 2-2.5 feet? Because it's so wide and the trim pieces are all pretty thin, the width is enough to to cover a couple pieces.
