Heating elements for seats?

Close!! It's a seat occupancy sensor.. It was such a bitch to install inside the seat. I would never tackle this job again ever

Took a few pics, replaced my rear strut mounts with e46 vert mounts, and removed the springs pads and spring adjusters in the rear after I took pics. It doesn't look low but she is only about 3" from the ground to the bumper.

Just finished test fitting my freshly refinished style 5's on the m3, gonna need a serious roll in the rear. I'll post pics tomorrow when its not dark out.

Anyone have access to a fender roller? Baseball bat method isn't working at all.

[GunMetalGrey]

Skateboard wheel between the tire and fender, if you are desperate. Jack the car up a tad with the jack parallel to the car and pick it up a bit, put the skateboard wheel between the fender and tire, lower slowly so you see the wheel start to push the fender out, heat the metal, push the car forward and back, lower car a tad more and repeat. Or do it the proper way

If I can't find someone to rent a fender roller from I think I'm just going to buy one

Should prolly buy one tomorrow and bring it Saturday

I did oil change and brake pads. Next is spark plugs.

Look at the filter!! Any of you guys agree with me on my guess... BMW doesn't change filters.

They recommended me 15k per oil change!! I just did it 4k after last dealer free lol oil change. Looks like they left the old filter or used tar instead of oil.. Lol

the rear levelled out. Should look pretty tits with the DS1's and some spacers to eliminate some of that sunken look=P

installed my new wheels, took her for a drive to the Kettle Moraine area: one cell phone pic to show for it (forgot the camera!)

That looks great Dan!

[Earl]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Dan that looks tits=) Did you refinish them already?

[wasnt m3]

LOVE the Alpina's!!

[straight6pwr]

thanks guys! no, they are not refinished yet and definitely need it when I get the chance. i plan on putting on some other Alpina goodies to finish the theme: mtech 1 rear spoiler, alpina b6 front spoiler, and steering wheel badge. i wont do the side graphics, but probably the appropriate ones for the front spoiler

[Snyperx]

I didn't really do anything to my car but now have a Peake scan tool and Bentley Service Manual for my car.

[The Otherside]
