    Ah I probably should have gotten a picture of it Done. As for the adjusters. There is a good video on YouTube for it.

    It's a bit too chrome for my taste but the wheels look in great condition.

    Just had my 2nd 4 wheel alignment done, it was not far off from spec. First one was done in 2006.
    Car is now getting the Dinan MAF download done as I sit here and wait.

    Thanks Guys! I took a couple more. The car is so clean but now the paint pops. The wheel condition is poor cause of pitting but they photograph well.

    I removed a few pics to help with the bandwidth.

    It is such a nice 80k mile car. The interior is nicer than the body actually

    1gr8e39: Apply a coating (Optogloss)! Trust me, it's worth it. I did it to my black car and I've been swirl free for 1.5years.

    Got the car lowered finally on KW V2s.

    Damn carlova thanks! Also car looks good down on the ground. More muscular and tough looking. Very nice. When you have some feedback on the LW V2's let us know!

    Got some bum info from BMW about the Dinan MAF download.
    There isn't a download just for the MAF, you need to also have the Dinan throttle body too.
    Then you can get the stage 3 download.

    Picked up a set of style 66s today. They're pretty rough so I won't post picks till I've got 'em looking better. Also got a new roundell for the hood and a fan speed button to replace the one that keeps popping out.

    Installed uuc evo 3 ssk with dssr along with ecs shifter rebuild kit. Did it all without dropping exhaust or anything. Feels awesome

    Replaced nasty k+n filters with proper dinan filters

    Looking good Paul. I have missed a couple shifts in the 2000 cause I'm not used to the SSK. I actually think I prefer the factory throws but I could also adapt to the SSK (doubtful) ;-)

    There are few ssk kit that I don't like because of the way they shift. Not smooth engagement. However, when I drove Redshift's M5 I really liked his Rogue ssk. It goes into gears pretty easily without resisting or being crunchy.

    Yeah there are a ton of options out there. My friend has the rogue on his M5 and the gates or gear slots (whatever you call them) feel really tight and close. It is very precise but little tight, the evo feels super precise also but little easier to find each gear imo. I would be happy to drive a car with either of them

    It just doesn't feel very consistent. Too bad I don't know which kit it is. I am not a fan of it.

    Mine is all stock and it's a bit sloppy but I've gotten used to it and like it as well.

    I put the Rogue and weighted selector rod in years ago, love it. The OEM shifter was too tall and shifter like a big rig in comparison to the Rogue.

    How do you adjust the squirters?

    Took my car to the dealer today (AKA stealer...) to inquire about getting the DME updated per a TSB that I found for a recurring CEL. They insisted that they had to reset adaptations first before anything else, so I had them do that. I had reset the O2 adaptations a few months ago and the light stayed off for about 1000 miles. Hoping this time is the charm... if not I will try to get them to flash the update. The car runs fine besides the light being on.

    The nozzles are articulating balls with a pee hole. Stick a pin into the hole and adjust it to the direction you want it to squirt.... You didn't know that??? I thought this was general knowledge.

    started reconditioning the repspray paint done sometime in the last decade.
