Slowly going through all the fluids and filters again.

Changed the power steering fluid. Emptied a few cans of brake kleen while I was down there. Pressure washed my skid plate too.

Replaced cabin air filter, old filter still looked new smh.

Replaced damaged passenger side headlight trim.

On to the next..

Coated wheels, calipers and front strut bar with CQ.UK3.0.

Probably a combination of the new brakes and me driving the car a lot more these past few months but the brakes dust like crazy.

Hoping the dust will just spray off with the pressure washer now that they are coated.

My friend pointed out that my lower bumper grill was faded the other day. He was absolutely right. Not sure how I haven't addressed this earlier. It was faded and had white compound residue.

I happened to have gloss black paint from a previous project and decided to give it a quick spray before I bought a replacement. No I was not going to remove the grill to paint it.

Shitty cell phone pics but much better than before. Matches my gloss black grills and gills.

I got myself to ceramic coat all my exterior windows with cquartz uk 3.0. Prior to coating I compounded the windows which probably did absolutely nothing other than give them a good cleaning. Which is all I needed.

The Porsche/Textar/Brembo pads dust like crazy. I swapped my 996 Brembos to Akebono EuroCeramics and there is a lot less dust now.

Radium Engineering Fuel Filter

Changed the fuel filter, went with Radium Engineering this time. I've had their catch can on my car for years and love the quality of their products. This is a high flow all fuel compatible filter.

Thank you. I'll have to see how much those cost if I can't stand the brake dust. Because it will take me a while to wear these down.

So I did a thing. 2003 540i M Sport. Needs some love. I have started a journal. Hopefully I'll find time to update it.

Haven't been giving the E46 much love since I got the E39 but knocked a few things out.

MSI wheel studs - Good enough for Turner, Bimmerworld, and Nascar race cars. Then good enough for my street shenanigans. Did a lot of debating and research before buying these. I wanted Titanium but function was more important than looks for me.

CQ.UK 3.0 ceramic coating on calipers.
CQ.UK 3.0 ceramic coating on wheels.
Recharged the AC.

Took this bad bitch for a spin.
After all these years she is still a pure joy to drive.
Makes all the right sounds.
Handles like a dream.
Great balance between power and weight.
Timeless.
