2018 What Did You Do To Your 6-Series Today?
I thought it would be fun to start a thread like this that is going on an E38 forum I'm a part of. People use it to just post little things they did with their cars that day/week that they might want to share but not start a whole new thread for! Washed it? Drove it? Bought it? Did a little mod? Stuff like that. Hopefully that's OK?
I'll start: Got mine back from the dealer for a HPFP replacement (thank God for warranty) and then went to a Sonic car meet up! |

Job well done Mark.
Same issue I have with my driveway too. Def need the side skirts now which will help with the illusion of lowering. Gutted I can't get them as Maxton don't supply for the coupe, only the GC. |

Okay...I'll bite, but mine reveal is something simple. I got my stone coasters from BMW CCA yesterday in the mail so I plopped them into the front cupholders this morning. These stone coasters absorb moisture, condensation, and small spills /dribbles which help keeps this area clean.
And, Buck...being an e38 owner, I know you appreciate having cupholders that can actually be used while the vehicle is in motion. For those that don't know...BMW's first attempt at standard equipped built in cupholders (e38/e39/e46) were way off the mark. They are notorious for tipping over at the slightest turn or pull-out into traffic. I never found an exampLe of a good built-in BMW cupholders until the e53 X5 debuted.

When my 5 series needed new rears i changed for NRF, mixed with RF fronts (had around 15k left in them) and it felt awful, changed the fronts the week after to NRF and ride was transformed
