So I have had many parts come in the mail the last couple days and some I've been waiting to put in, and I have Sunday's off so I decided to devote the day to my car.
To do list:
1. Full detail interior/exterior on the car
2. Clean MAF sensor
3. Install Forge MS 007 DV CL
4. Install VDO boost gauge
5. Install rear mud flaps
6. Install sub amplifier for subs coming soon
7. Put in new cabin filter (old one was absolutely repulsive, if you haven't changed yours in 40k miles I highly recommend doing so...)
I took pics of my supplies and parts here they are:

For the car I used-
Interior:
-Meguiars gold class leather conditioner
-Meguiars interior detailer
-Ran the cloth floor mats through the washer/dryer
-Vacuumed out entire interior
-Stoner's invisible glass on windows and mirrors
Exterior:
-Meguiars gold class soap 3 times over once with large MF mit and 2 more times with small MF mit for the spots needing attention most
-Dry with MF towels
-Meguiar's clay bar with instant detailer
-Interior door jambs with instant detailer
-3 coats of Meguiar's Gold Class wax on bumper/hood/roof/trunk/rear bumper
-2 coats of wax on doors/fenders/quarter panels
-Wheel wells soaked and scrubbed with purple power/water (works fantastic thanks Dan :tu:)
-Tires scrubbed with brush and purple power/water
-Meguiar's hot shine wheel gel on wheels (works miracles once again thanks for the tips dan )
-Wheel wax from the local BMW dealership, really like using it, also looks excellent on shiny wheels, mine do it no justice...
-Windows done with stoner's invisible glass
-Engine bay cleaned with purple power/scrubber/brush
I think it turned out pretty good, here are some before pics:

After washing put all the new parts in, flawlessly! Everything works great so far...however I do have an airbag light on, perhaps a fuse or a loose wire from when we removed my running boards to run the amplifier's power wire...I'm probably missing a step in this thread or something I did somewhere as I tend to do that...
Feedback is appreciated!
