    Ever since I bought the car a few months back, the coffee spill stains on the carpet had been bothering me. So today I removed both front seats, gave them a Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Pristine Clean treatment. Then shampooed the carpet and finally put in the new E65/66 all weather floormats that I got when I first bought the car. Looks, smells and feels great now.

    I drove it to work 60 miles at 4 degrees. I love those seat heaters! AND, even at -4 degrees yesterday, it started on the first crank! No problems.

    Enjoying the power of m62 supercharger, 2nd and 3rd gear pull to redline is addicting. Wonder if I should get a catch Can since it's a thing to do nowadays.

    Replaced the key battery. Remote works again. Pretty happy with that!

    I love the chrome details on the trim! I put amber ambient lighting in the same spot, but it stays orange during the day. I sure wish chrome could light up orange at night lol

    Thanks! I've been thinking about adding some ambient lighting for the night. Been jealous of the new S class interior photos lol.

    Also when I did the steering wheel I sprayed the slip ring with some lubricant and now it doesn't squeak in cold weather!! FINALLY!!!!

    It comes with very thin double-sided tape which is used for sticking down the leather on the spokes and around the rim.

    Key battery is pretty lame compared to that sweet sweet steering wheel.

    Reliably remotely opening your car is never, ever over-rated.

    So true because when I used my key I had to be careful or all the windows would roll down and the sunroof would open. A real pain in the rain or with snow on the car!

    Haha I stopped doing that b/c one rear window is now clicking when I raise it up. So basically I don't open that window lest the regulator break suddenly.

    Attachment 619615 Pulled passenger seat to swap with sport seat. Thought I'd take a look under the carpet, what a mess. It all started with a windshield replacement. The sunroof drains got filled with goo. Why O Why do they put this stuff on the floor! Everything works but I'm going to clean it up and coat it. BMW should have coated it with a corrosion protectant.
    I think these are diodes not fuses? Anyone know what these little devices are hidden under the seat?

    They are fuses - 50 to 100A.
    You definitely also want to check the splices to the right of there in your photo.

    I just today cleared out my garage, and parked my 7 inside, after moving into a new smaller house on October. 31. God it feels good to get the gal inside after all these cold nights.
    Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.
