What did you do to your F3X today?

Still take good care of the rims, but don't bother with intensive cleaning and waxing (of the wheels) anymore.

hahaha.... too funny... this is the first time doing this. Hopefully it'll help keep crud from sticking and make cleaning easier. The wax I used is "supposed" to be detergent proof and last upwards a year. We shall see... If not then ceramic coating will be next unless I score some sweet silver 437s next year...

Let me know

I'll gladly do it again if I can see some more long-lasting effect. Couple of days or weeks is just not enough to justify the work.

Totally forgot i purchased these eye lids, took about a month to arrive. Just tossed them on.

thakk · 06-16-2019, 03:28 PM

I changed the oil in the car for the first time since getting it.
I only put 3000kms on it and I'm pretty sure the dealership never changed it like I asked.

I think I am going to change the brake fluid and check the brake pads next.

Zanity mentioned "Goo Gone Automotive" - I'd never heard of it.

I keep a bottle in my trunk at all times, it has always worked for me to remove bird shit, since thats what the bottle said its for.

Installed the license plate frame and put the trim bits inside the car. Small details, but they really make the interior even more attractive.

Oh, and I sat on and ruined the sunglasses I've been using in my cars for a bunch of years. Switched them for a pair of mirrored lenses, the 'copter pilot style I like. So now I'm gonna look like the stereotype of a "BMW douche." I suppose I'll have to order a BMW-logo ballcap and driving gloves, huh?

I did mine a few months ago. Dealer wanted $1200 and the I spent $200 and did it myself. Smart move!

New mirrors

sforan · 06-19-2019, 10:27 AM

Hopped on the forged carbon fiber train

Commerce · 06-19-2019, 12:19 PM

Polished and coated the wheels and calipers in CQuartz Dlux

SLBMW · 06-19-2019, 04:24 PM

Did a wrap! Took me 4 days omg

Wolfus Aurelius · 06-20-2019, 06:27 AM

Popped on the polished-aluminum (almost chrome!), plastic radio and A/C control trim rings I picked up on Amazon. They fit over the buttons fine and the controls all still operate.

The Kurgan · 06-20-2019, 07:58 AM

OEM gloss black performance grills. Looks very nice with the factory Alpine white paint.

Cleaned under the hood! You can eat your dinner off of my engine now.

Yeah, but the vegan enchiladas will taste like used LL-01 oil. . . .

Washed it tonight. Great weather and no sun directly on the car

Fliplegend · 06-21-2019, 09:44 PM

Drove 580 miles from NH to VA. She did great. Averaged around 34mpg doing 75-80. The weather was terrible for half of it.

VWAudi2BMW · 06-21-2019, 11:48 PM

Got my 330 a few months ago, went JB4 and M performance gloss black grills so far. First BMW and loving it so far. Coming from several VW and Audi cars. Some lightly moded and some were heavily moded. Brand new to BMW!
