Thanks for that! Got the m50d brakes at the minute. Thinking about drilled rotors and powder coating the callipers. Back are a little small though I'd like to go a bit bigger

I have the M50d brakes as well and powdercoated mine. Happy with the results:

Love it brother. I'm always curious - front license plate a hard requirement in your state?

Thank you my friend! Yes unfortunately, front plates are required 😞

Thanks brother. Here is a shot of the rear (abeit not a great one) after I had them put on and the car was dirty:

Grab the rear caliper that CBOZ is selling, I think its designed to work with 50i rears

classic_erik · 05-19-2022, 07:59 PM

First mod in over a year

There's nothing more special than that beauty!!!

classic_erik · 05-19-2022, 08:15 PM

This new epoxy floor was the crown jewel in a large detached garage renovation we just completed. It took me about a year to sell the wife on this necessary expense.

But yes it's almost time! Still floating around a bunch of ideas including a used F90, SQ8, X7 M50i or even a Ford Bronco Raptor (if they ever open up the order window again). I am extremely efficient at mind wandering and pivoting on a dime based on my mood

F90 hands down if you're keeping the F15. Passed my 50i to the wife for my 2020 M5 DG and haven't looked back. Just another level for me at least.

Even by Seattle standards this spring has sucked a** for weather ... but finally a sunny stretch ahead in the forecast, so today meant wash + clay + 2 coats of Menzerna Powerlock.

P1 · 05-19-2022, 10:20 PM

jiggz I have been using Power Lock for years! Can't beat it. What do you use to dress the tires?

Very tidy looking garage also. Envious!

Thanks P1, appreciate it! Just went through a complete garage makeover.... such a PITA... glad it's finally over.

Tire dressing nothing special, Adam's Tire Shine. I like that it shines the tires but doesn't leave a greasy, oily finish. And yah, I've tried a lot of sealants/waxes, and have yet to find anything better than Power Lock.

destroy26 · 05-20-2022, 03:30 PM

The first of (hopefully) many, many tanks of gas in my new (to me) X5. The cost at the pump hurts, but the driving experience nullifies that pain lol.

Surgx5 · 05-20-2022, 04:37 PM

@destroy26 found myself buying Costco premium. A about $0.30 cheaper than others here. Worth the extra few cents to get there and fill up. The drive definitely makes it worth it.

Yeah well my local Sam's is right across the street from my gym and I kid you not I have yet to see the pumps less than 10 cars deep in the last 2 weeks. I even stopped by at 7am the other morn and was blown away at all the cars

Let's go Brandon!

Unfortunately, I'm about 35 mins from the nearest wholesale club (Costco, Sam's, etc) that has gas pumps.

Just gotta bite the bullet and deal with it for now.

I wasn't trying to make it political, and my 3 word sentence hardly did so. So you can keep your comments to yourself. Didn't ask for your opinion!
