I've always wondered if it adds a shit ton of wind noise and kills mpg. I always hear whistling when I drive past cars with racks on the highway. :heckno:

Started this project a while back and have been plugging away at it whenever I had free time/motivation. S54 M3 motor installed in the wagon and finally able to start seeing there's light at the end of the tunnel.

That second photo is some 24x36" print level stuff, if you got a blank wall at home, check out brushed aluminium prints

i remember this package deal. it was a good one. Glad to see you are still working on it.

There was a S54 wagon for sale on the island a few weeks ago. No way it could be built for less than he wanted (low 20's IIRC)

The car hit 20,000kms today, I doubled the milage in 5 months. Considering most of my cars I drive less than 5000kms a year, the fun factor speaks for its self POGGERS

People are such dicks. Did you get a hard wired dash cam bro ? That’s the first thing I did to my ratrolla when I got it.

Of course they had to just miss the giant kick out slider tube. At least it's a bolt on part if you get it fixed. Or just go get some trail damage to blend it in.

Badhobz 10-21-2023 08:05 AM

I just bought a thinkware dash cam for like a 100 bucks and then got it wired for another 60 dollars in Richmond with MJ installs. The dudes super nice and had it done in like 15 minutes.

Sorry to hear dude, that sucks.

Potentially something you can polish out though. That paint transfer would definitely come out. Might not turn out 100% (but it might; see below!), but with inevitable future trail rash and other parking lot mishaps when they do leave a note, you might as well get it all taken care of for free when it's on someone else's dime.

Source: months ago I ran the side of my wife's i3 into one of those parking bollards. That yellow post just leapt out of the ground and lunged into the car... came out of no where I swear to god. Anyway it was a pretty ugly gash that looks just like yours. So I took a trip down to the local parts store and picked up some polishing compound, and after like 20 minutes of scrubbing with a microfiber cloth (10 min to get the yellow paint transfer off, another 10 to get the remaining scratches out), it's now perfect. I'm OCD as shit but we don't see a thing. YMMV though: our i3 has composite body panels so there was no actual denting. But if you do have any denting maybe a PDR (paintless dent removal) service could take care of the rest (or even all of it).

red kryptonite 10-21-2023 09:04 PM

unfortunately its dented in 2 places where the body line creases and its scratched into the metal.... icbc body shop says they are replacing the door. :stupid::fulloffuck:

They are replacing the whole door for that? Wow.

On a side note how the fuck did they hit that part of your truck when you're parked like a BMW driver taking up two handicap spots?

red kryptonite 10-23-2023 07:26 PM

thats what i was thinking

bcrdukes 10-23-2023 07:52 PM

Ran this through the Express Auto Wash on E. 4th Ave and Boundary. My brother never washes the damn car. Had to use the highest wash option but not 100% clean but good enough for 327,787KM.

Agreed. As a recovering Mini owner, I too am extremely skeptical. Or at the very least envious :D

bcrdukes 10-24-2023 07:33 PM

Sorry, guys. I don't believe it myself, but see for yourself.

i think the more important question is... how much have you spent to get it to 300k??
