Well, after my car lived in the snow for the first two weeks I cleaned the garage on my bay - put all of the kids toys on top of the Rolls Royce (or my 7400 lb paper weight)

Then pulled my car in an washed

Someone (either my wife or a valet) hit a curb - have a 1cm rash on the front left wheel
The front brakes sure make a lot of dust
Washed the car with hot water - was really nice

Going to wax tomorrow - yippee!!

Well, cleaned the garage on christmas eve and parked car in and washed. Did not drive yesterday or today - and toady was my birthday - and my wife let me wax my car

It was great - car looks great, just now I am afraid to take it out and get it dirty in the snow - but I guess that is whatr cars are for

I did notice that BMW does not do a stellar job with painting - lots of "orange peel" - it feels like the paint is thicker towards the rear of the car. A also noticed that I got my first door ding.

As far as the rolls - it needs a good cleaning before I will consider taking pictures - and it currently does not run - but it is sure great to look at
