New ride

[Iceddragon]

Day 5 of repairs, its the weekend and I wanted to go for a drive. Remembered I don't have my car, took the Honda instead. When I got home I decided to park it like a BMW to amuse myself.

Expecting the car back this Wednesday or Thursday.

Yeah, when my last E90 broke during the River Valley Road Rally we picked this up as a reliable daily, which then opened up the world of N54 problems to me without worrying about being without a car. I don't drive to work, but in a way I have the boring ol Honda to thank for the 335.

Also got some new plates for the car today, you also get a cat to look at.

Weird, Google told me it was a Floridian that blows smoke rings on the internet. https://www.instagram.com/g3ngar/

You're too young to understand how awesome it is.

Car is getting painted today, should be back tomorrow or thursday. Anything specific I should look for when inspecting it? Does the paint have to dry or can I touch it right away?

[KaiserRolls]

Ask the painter how soon you can seal the paint (wax or something else). They usually want you to wait a certain amount of time

And yes don’t touch wet paint

Car is home, they did a great job honestly. Looks and feels good, taking it out for the weekend tonight.

I will second that. It is a must do here on the WI Bimmers forum no exceptions!!!!

Glad it's back in your hands! Repairs look great.

Black is a hard color to repair. Looks good from that photo. 

In 4 burnout

I drove it across the state to a friends place to help him pick up a new car (Supercharged Miata), and kept staring at it to find any issues, but I honestly can't find any fault besides a tiny blemish in the paint, I'll have them take a look at that monday to make sure. I told the shop manager that I have big plans for this car eventually and I think they took that seriously. They also gave me a lifetime warranty so I'm really happy.

As for the burnout, I tried that a few weeks ago and even with the traction control off something refused to let the wheels spin. I can try to dig up that video.
