Tried to figure out why, after replacing plugs and coils, I have more misfire fault codes than the one I had before I started on my 08 535xi.

On the plus side though, I got to put about 200 miles on a brand new 535 that my girlfriend got as a loaner for her X3. What a machine !

Thanks, man. I did them the "hard" way and removed the wheels to get the inside of the barrels done, too.

The spoiler was on the car when I bought it. There's a spot on it similar in size to the M badge on the wheels, but there was never a badge there, so I'm not sure what the make is.

I looked at it again. Will probably look at it again when I get back to the house tonight.

Nice man, I dipped my miros recently in color changing silver, looks pretty wild. I'll try to post some pics. I did them with cans and did it when it was cold so I have some texuture. I never realized that the temp they are stored in affects how they will spray so they should be heated up in warm water first. I bought a entire plastidip spray gun to do some cars recently. I plan to go my entire car soon.

I'm in the process of replacing my front and rear trim. I've kinda neglected my car since I don't drive it as much. I'm trying to refresh the car right now with some things that have been bothering me. I may replaced the wheels soon, looking at stance wheels at the moment with a crazy color. I've had my miros for a while and could dip them something else but rather just get new wheels all together.

or


I have some rattles I need to fix and also need to do some suspension work.

Edit: Found a pic of after I did the wheels, gonna take some better pics this weekend in the sun.

They change from silver to blueish to purple, looks crazy when its moving. I dipped these while they were on the car. I would take them off next time since its a pain to get all the spokes properly, in fact I need to redo some areas that got missed. But with my sprayer it will cover much better and have 0 texture.
