Too dirty. Clean your act up, or you're out of the clean-car club.
I think I will..next weekend.

OK, then. We're expecting to see clean-car pics. If so, then we'll reactivate your membership.

Any chance I can get a side picture of your car? I'd like to see how the 122s look on the 5-series in Monaco Blue.

Thanks!

When I use to live in Canada, my car will be this dirty because of the salt they put on the roads after snow. I need to wash my E46 every week, but when I got my Xterra. I only wash it when it is warm outside because dirt gives SUV a character but certainly not on a Bimmer.

For most of the year, wash every 4 weeks. California car duster, and mini duster for wheels, between washing. More often during rainy season (next few months).
Hey Stream, you took my reply!
I've got a TiAg exterior color so it really hides the dirt well!
But then again, here in Silicon Valley how dirty can things get?
Cheers!

No way!
I get annoyed if I can't wash my car every week.

Carbon black starts to look dirty/dusty after 3 days. Hence I try to use CaIif Car duster every 2 days.

With the crappy weather we are having here that is the norm for mine also.

I live in Florida, but I am in the Washington DC / Baltimore area at the moment.

I found this car wash here who hand washes only, in 20 minutes while you wait. It's like going to the drive-thru wash, only you don't scratch your wheels on the stupid track. I wish they had those in Florida. Everyone there has the machines.... which I refuse to put my car through.
