The official WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR BMW thread.

I guess my question was if your car was pre-wired for city lights.
Nope. In the euro cars the parking lights at the front are wired to the city light instead of the directional. When adding them to a US car many people wire them so that both the city light and the directional come on.
-
They are small bulbs that illuminate the light without having the headlights on.
I have been told that it is for driving around in town in parts of Europe at night where there are street lights and using headlights in those towns is illegal at night. Don't quote me though

That is what I had always thought as well.
City lights:
-
Its the equivalent of daytime running lights essentially. In Germany (not sure about the rest of Europe) if you are parking on the side of the road at night, your marked lights on the side of the vehicle must be on while the vehicle is parked. On the newer BMW's this activated by hitting the turn signal switch after you have shut off the vehicle.

Installed a Momo steering wheel.
And some ricing...I meant racing stripes.
-
My floors no longer leak.
Which means they hold water
Which also means I still have a leak somewhere
After a crazy storm that lasted about 6 hours. I had about an inch of standing water on the floor
Maybe I could start a coy pond
Or just wear crocs all the time
Either way. It's holding me off from finishing the carpets.
-
Don't have those in my car.
But there is still the upper portion they connect to. I'll give it a look after work.
Definitely wasn't sunroof or door seals. Nothing was soaked in that region

Sold my 328i today... it was a sad day but I could tell the guy that bought it was truly thrilled after he drove it.

Now you have some wiggle room for new projects ?
.I only sold one BMW that I owned and that was a 94 325i sedan. I really liked the car but it was TOO small. I always felt cramped. It was great in all other regards and a blast to drive. It was in that car that I received my only speeding ticket in the last 15 years. I remember doing 55 and downshifting and rev matching into third and "Holy Crap" did that thing pull. I do miss it for that reason alone. I have a sweet spot for my E28's. I guess I am getting old but still have some class

Cleaned her up yesterday and going to clay and wax her today.
I ended up staining the picnic table and yard fence instead. I may get to it tonight or early tomorrow. I really need to build it up as I may be driving it this winter
. If I can I hope to get a mini van to prevent this but it does not look good as of now.

White plasti dip the door bottoms/wheel arches to keep the rust away! That's my plan if I ever drive a bimmer in winter again.
