JLs Detailing: BMW 330xi

[JLs Detailing]

Car looks really good, you wife must be pleased. Cant say that I would ever use dust covers for brakes though. I like the looks of clean calipers and rotors. Also from what I have read they inhibit cooling quite abit.

I tend to agree with you calypso on the dust covers. I just wonder if when I pull the tires if the barrels will be a wreck as they most certainly haven't been cleaned. I must admit though it does seem that the functionality of the covers are what they should be as the wheels have almost no traces of brake dust. The cooling was something else that I wondered about. Thanks for the input it really helps for me trying to decide what to do.

LOL, this is the best thing ever! I got goose bumps reading it nice one JL! and great work as usual

I wasnt even aware that you got the E90 in a XI... suppose because it just ISNT an option here in SA

Thanks freerider, she was thrilled with her present and I was quite impressed with myself to be able to pull it off. The detail was quite a bit of work but man it was well worth it.

Nice work on both the thought & the detail there JL! It's intense to see the befores and afters, with the before being a "relatively" clean car. Just shows what a full detail can do!

Thanks MeTsU much appreciated. Funny the dealer wanted to "clean" it before I took it to her but I quickly said no thanks. He then said "Yeah it already looks incredible not much we could do to make it look better." I thought if you only knew how much better it will get!

What does the x mean again? 4 wheel drive or something like that?

freerider nailed it, All Wheel Drive.

Another great write up JL, black looks a lot darker now.

Thanks Starvekos. I rode by my wife's office building the other day and man does that black really stand out in the parking lot amongst all the other cars.
