Have you seen those videos where they literally cover the car with snow foam as thick as shaving cream?

I suspect they have a higher concentration of soap in their foam cannon. Mine looks more like Mr Cash's. nonetheless, soaking with foam followed by hand wash gets the bugs off

Was out of town last weekend, and took some pics of this abandoned car dealership I found. Also a pic of the X5 at our Airbnb of course.

Thanks! I wash it every other weak with Duragloss 901, quick detail with Optimum Instant Detailer and slap a layer of Menzerna Power Lock on there every once in a while.

You'll love the 469s. But I think that a front lip combined with 20" is a bit much. Those stick on bits require larger wheels I feel like.

Agreed!

The 469m's are my fav, and are number one on my list of must haves.

kanvas · 07-16-2017, 01:51 PM

Agreed. The lip adds visual weight. Larger wheels counterbalances that

cdr.esq · 07-16-2017, 03:42 PM

Upgraded to 469s....also thinking about the lips and the M50d grills. Problem is I am no good at taking stuff apart and putting them back together, and need to find someone in the NJ/NY region that is able to do the grills for me.....any recommendations?

Lovely! Definitely one of my favorite 20s for the F15.

Samurai of 2day · 07-16-2017, 08:07 PM

Look at this Motherfucking bull shut. How the fuck does this shut happen to an object that has been stationary for days.

Fucking car is ruined now.

some people might feel like I'm overreacting but please keep in mind that I'm not a trust fund baby that gets money and credit from my name.

I'm a hard working individual whose family came to the US when I was very young and has been wearing a uniform to serve those who apparently have the "right" to damage other people's property without suffering consequences because of, well "rights ".

I can guarantee that if I had witnessed such a blatant disrespect towards me, my personal rights would have been revoked for the lesson I would teach the victim of my wrath.

I make many sacrifices and work hard fro the very few pleasure I take in life.

Fucking cowardly entitled punks.

My dealer did the installation for $100. I bought the grills from a different dealer for $118. That price was for breaking the old ones out and putting in new ones. If I wanted to keep the chrome they said they would have to remove bumper and charge another $150. Not worth the price if the chrome grills.

It wasn't keyed. It seems to be some sort of rubbery material that was etched into the paint.

I can only guess that knew of the beach goers near me was negligent with their bicycle or something.

Similar incident happened to the lower rear driver's side panel of the white 650 Gran coupe I had a few years ago. Looked like some sort of wheel or tire go too close and etched it's tread pattern onto the paint.

thankfully I will be moving next year so I will be more selective of the area I decide to live.

Sorry to hear that, try WD-40 to get that off, it works wonders.
