- vehicle speed display

And probably some minor small things I forget...

Button is slightly closer to one side than the other...that's going to bother me so eventually I'll fix it but I'll put in the rest first. The others will be USB charger (always on even when car is off), dashcam power select (runs only when the car is on or run off battery power when the car is off) and...one more I haven't decided. Ejector seat? | So clean, love it.

Haven't decided if I want to use an identical double sided rocker switch for the dashcam power mode next to it or something different.   | |

On rare occasions throughout your life you get the limited opportunity to be a badass.
This is one of those times.
Do it.

Get two of those (but pushbuttons) for your garage doors, one toggle for the dashcam and use the subtle looking one for the NOS haha

Nice!
Did you do the coding yourself or someone else did it? Or did you use the BMWhat app or other app? Quote:

What I've done over the past couple of days.
Changed spark plugs and found oil on the plugs. I guess i have to do a valve cover gasket change in the near future. 
This weekend I thought I would replace my clutch. 
Good thing I didn't put it off any longer. Yikes.
This was supposed to be my new clutch. 
Funny thing is that the mounting holes didn't line up.
So I started to second guess the parts I ordered online. 
Nope. Part number matches up with my year and trim of car.
I check out the transmission and discover the previous owner swapped in an 1989 tranny (my car is a 1990 model). The give away was the number of grooves on the input shaft. There is no way to tell what transmission i had from the outside until i opened her up. Now I'm off to pick up a clutch locally for an arm and a leg.

Retrofitted LED amber turns into my side mirrors and added carbon fiber mirror caps to match my CF speed3 spoiler. There are easier ways to get LED turn side mirrors than retrofitting, but I wanted to retain my heated mirror and BSM functionality.

here is my dirty car. i washed it on friday but couldn't get a lot of the bug stains off the front from a recent kamloops trip. it was bad...  DSC_0526 by 320iCar, on Flickr  DSC_0529 by 320iCar, on Flickr
and after the pretty detailed wash and quick interior clean (forgot porta-vac)  DSC_0532 by 320iCar, on Flickr  DSC_0534 by 320iCar, on Flickr  DSC_0536 by 320iCar, on Flickr
ran out of time and couldn't wax it. i plan to do that tonight, so i guess i'll be washing it again LOL. the wheels are horrible though. they were completely clean after my wax. and after a 7km drive (mostly highway) home from my folks place where i washed it, a quick swipe of my wheels left me with a finger full of brake dust. fuck OEM ford pads...
