Coated the new M Parallels went for a ride with lots of smiles These are the new A/S4 (All Season 4) tires released in July and they're great.
This all began when I found two brand new front wheels for sale locally that had been sitting in a garage for some time. I then started placing orders for new rear wheels to see if anyone had them. My assumption was no and I ran into a bunch of dead ends but was surprised to learn that ECS will source them from Germany for you and here we are.

During my lunch break I went ahead and installed some Lumenis H3 HID 6000K fog lights. For being Bright White, they still seem to have a slight Blue hue to them. I will take some pictures here in a little while. With the Halos and Xenon's the OEM fog light color seemed out of place. Hoepfully this matches up better.

Ordered a new ignition switch and transmission pan gasket (2x) for Marina. Gotta love ECS Tuning for having them in stock and being one state away. Also needed some drain plug crush washers. Amazon had a 10 pack of copper ones for $6.50. Should be all set to reassemble with hopefully no more Transmission Failsafe errors

Anyone who wants to use the product should watch this video for instruction. The instruction that comes with the product is insufficient.

Haven't worked on the BMW but instead on the ML, side spoilers, mirrors,door trims and trunk trim are painted matt black.
I think it looks nice, not entirely sure about the trunk trim though.

new material "clear grey" headliners done all back together... all 38 parts etc. that had to get removed to get the headliner out only 1 broken tab used a "solid metal tab" and epoxy "solution".....
I bough a kit from Autogeek. It’s not the cheapest there but I was buying a bunch of stuff and they had a decent sale. Also, I’m 3 hours away from their warehouse so the stuff arrives next day.
I used a foam applicator pad to apply the product. Pretty much just how they do it in that video. Give it a try!
