Went for it today

creepy coupe · 02-09-2008, 10:11 AM

It's been such a fantastic day here today weather wise, I thought I'd treat the old girl to a wash and brush up, so I removed all the wheels and cleaned the inner rims and calipers, had the take the front wheels off the jack as the car was too low

then wash and waxed her.

Summers coming and I can't wait

Amir87 · 02-09-2008, 10:13 AM

Wow, she's a beauty!

JeffL · 02-09-2008, 10:13 AM

Great pictures. Looks like a fantastic day across the pond. We are getting another 2-4 inches of snow tonight.

We should have hard frosts this time of year, our weathers all messed up, but I'm not complaining

Josh49 · 02-09-2008, 10:18 AM

Nice..

Can't wait to see my car that clean again.. That first detail after the winter is like getting a brand new car all over again.. I can't wait!!

It's a beautiful day here. Clear sky and quite warm. Makes up for the deluge of rain we've had over the last 3 to 4 weeks.

Spool · 02-09-2008, 10:41 AM

Beautiful color, that is LeMans blue correct? That and Estoril are the two greatest blue ever mixed.

Blue328xi · 02-09-2008, 10:59 AM

Nice pics, sweet ride.

bsamoul · 02-09-2008, 11:44 AM

I did mine to 85 ft/lbs

Oh and 75 on the locking bolt, it felt easier to remove.

Spot on Spool, Le Mans blue

TheAcAvenger · 02-09-2008, 01:38 PM

Everytime I see you non north americans with your le mans blue, I feel an inferiority complex.

asdflkijd · 02-09-2008, 02:41 PM

damn.. thats one nice e92, your color combo makes me wish that I lived in the UK....... nice wheels too, love how America doesn't offer the m-sport package... those money hungry bastards..

E90330iS · 02-09-2008, 10:07 PM

Wow.. that M-tech kit and that color is flawless and the RIMS!

urnuts · 02-09-2008, 10:41 PM

My 330i sits in the garage all winter- most of the year actually. 28 months old and 7000 miles.... oh well.
But, springtime is fun- like a new car, as somebody said.
My '98 M3/2 was Estoril Blue...... beautiful color. That was when I could afford an M3!
Holy Crap! Bring that back to the dealer- the wheel is on the wrong side.
