You have a nice set of under-the-hood modifications......I might do this to "blueberry", my 2014 F02 Alpina B7 that needs a bit of "zing" under the hood (I've got a thread over on the 7-series F01/F02 forum)......

Thank you very much! With the rate of oil, like Unspec said mine collects alot of water as well. I get just about 1tsp of oil after 4 months.

Straightened out two of the wheels and quick curb rash fix for them and lowered it a bit. Also did alignment and ordered new rear tires.

Installed the FTP turbo inlet pipe on the car tonight. Took me about an 1 1/2 hours. Turbo is louder and car feels a bit more quicker!

Small DIY mod tonight. F30 air scoop mod on my F10. Bought from AVT Innovations on eBay!

DUDE776 · 05-27-2024, 11:33 AM

I wrapped it myself! It took me about a week and a half. The color is Sky Blue 3M gloss.

zener · 05-28-2024, 01:00 PM

Installed new rear tires. Hopefully front ones arrive tomorrow.

Ha, I know that feeling.

You think you glassed it and then notice that one little nib of dirt

"It's fine. It's fine. I won't ever notice it" *five minutes later "I'M REDOING IT"

Haha you are absolutely right. This happened to my on the trunk. I had it mostly done and I didn't do the top properly and there were two large air bubbles. I had to start over. Wrapping this car was terrible but satisfying now that it's done. Now I need to find what else I'll do to the car.

Compressor went bad at 335K miles. Replaced condenser and all O rings with it just in case. I recommend replacing all coolant hoses and thermostat while you are doing this. It is super easy since the AC lines are not in the way.

I ordered it on amazon and it came directly from Ultra Racing in Malaysia. I got tired of getting the run around from Ultra Racing USA.
