Yeah nice! Someday mine will be at a show

 

My before and after pictures I am having my down draft installed tomorrow along with oil change and colder plugs and my new plasma coil packs and then it’s off for some test spins! Woo Hoo!

 

Damm! I know that was more than a Benjamin!!!

 

Washed and waxed my Cooper and Clubman today..

Not too many more nice days left this year.

Last weekend I took a 500 mile road trip to Iowa after the club drive to Starved Rock, and most of it was in the rain.

 

Thank

Thank You I pride myself with this one took me two months after my accident to find it and the guy was super helpful after he heard my accident horror story!

 

Speaking of tires, changed to winter
tires last week on both my MINI
and my wife’s M240i.
Her car got diverted into a construction
detour and the summer tires got
plastered with asphalt/tar/gravel
that won’t come off with any product
that I’ve tried.
Turns out scraping/peeling it off with
a 1” chisel works (can get the 1/16th inch
plus of hard amazingly adherent gunk
off with a lot of effort with the chisel
and doesn’t cut the tread rubber if
you’re careful).
Thank god these are Michelin PS4S
tires with wide blocks and no siping
or it would be impossible.
It’s taking about 3 hours per tire to get
back down to the tread and so far I have
1 1/2 tires done.
Fun, fun fun…

 

Thanks I’m always cleaning because of black color but it always looks good when done! Finally received my vanity plate R56S after waiting 6 months

 

Only thing left for my install is to do the necessary coding then it should be complete. Hard part is coordinating with the coder to do this. It should be done soon though.

 

Hope everything goes according to plan. Keep us informed on how it all works out.

 

I got my digital speedometer and 2023 Infotainment 8.8” touchscreen upgrade completed today. I got @Bimmer Fixes to remote into my PC this afternoon and make the necessary coding to make everything work perfectly. The upgrade looks absolutely amazing and gives my 2017 JCW a new facelift interior.

 

The OE mirror caps that were on my car was scratched up by the previous owner so I replaced them for these carbon fiber mirror caps to “clean up” my car’s appearance.

 

I'm running 225/45/17s and they workout just fine. I like the look it fills the well and gives me a larger sidewall for a potholes.

 

See if anyone can find my new additions today?

 

wow! Déjà vu I did the same thing two days ago went with my black… of course lol

 

The AEM decal on the bottom side of the hood and the MINI tag on the drivers side taillight.

 

lol that’s funny on my end because my new mini came from CT I had it shipped here when I bought it and he had new snow tires which I immediately took off snows off the rims and put some summer tires on then had the snows put on new set of 18 inch rims from discount tire and living in the south we definitely don’t need snow tires here but if I ever decide to drive somewhere where there is snow I’ll definitely have them! Not really sure why he had snows he never drove it in winter and was always garaged?
