Actually if you have bad back/knees it is pretty punishing. Worst part of washing the car for me is the wheels. Still spring cannot come early enough to see them back on (or finally wash the car for that matter).

I am literally using all of those same items, including the air cannon I got from adams. I don’t know what brush it is but it reminds me of a cat toy was by far the best to use to get into those spokes.

I need to get one of those lambskin finger mitts. I've had the flat incredibrush, for a few years, but I can't find anything to fit between the rotors/calipers, and the wheel. Who knew that 0.7" added to the CCBs, would make it impossible to get into the barrels, on the front wheels? I even have the EZ wheel brush, and the bristles get stuck when I try to squeeze it back behind the rotors, it sucks. I don't even think the smallest wheel woolie will fit back there. The rears dont seem to be a problem, it's just the damn front.

Those would be the Michelins in the right dimensions. Haha, no worries, I'm in Switzerland and used to sidewalls like this from my previous cars

Hey I wanted to confirm what you said earlier is accurate. MSS released the Extra Low front kit for £350 ($475) which is not FREE. The kit includes new hardware and springs. They are being shipped to Turn 14 warehouse in the US. You can order the Extra Low front kit (20-30% firmer) with new MSS order for no additional cost. The new kits were shipped a couple weeks ago and should arrive in about two weeks. Very disappointed

Hi Dear members, Im thinking to order my first M3 in Isle of Man Green. My answer is if this color is difficult to match in case of a scratch or dent on the car? Do you have any experience about it?

Thanks!

Today I got the shipping notification for the turner motorsport skidplate I sniped for 290 bucks. Otherwise the pile of parts keeps building to put on when my vorsteiner grills come in. The snow won't melt soon enough.

Break-in service was completed today. So much fun getting to stomp on it and use the full RPM range now.

Not that I couldn't have done it prior to the service but wanted to abide by the break-in guidelines.
