Weird.Unless the geometry is moving around so much that it's eating the tires up in an even pattern,haha.I've had Hondas where that bushing would be completely gone,with no rubber at all touching the bushing crossbar and sleeve,and I could still get them to align correctly and hold the specs.
Have you had the car aligned recently?Just curious where everything is set.The rear tires look like a normal wear pattern with a bit of camber.How do the toe link and arm bushings look?

Got my black kidneys from ecstuning today,very fast shipping! Also gave it its first wash and detailed the nasty engine bay.








I noticed these while putting my kidneys back in (lul), anyone know of a fix other then getting the hood resprayed?Obviously i could dab some touch up paint on it,but i'm looking for a better fix.

we had to replace those on my brothers EF, they did the same thing. Wishing now that we would have put the Energy Suspension inserts in though...

I see ads for this company in a lot of BMW related magazines.No experience with it,but I have seen forum fuckers say it works pretty well.I can't see it looking 100% perfect,as it just looks to me like you basically put the touch-up on and then polish it down flush with the old paint........For $40+.

Drinking beer and washing cars.
I washed the M3,Drew washed his monster trucks.


Pulled off the moldings to put a coat of SEM trim finish on them.This is what I founf behind them(after washing the car)


Quick Detailed off.Need to wax to get the remaining lines out,but I'm too lazy.


Put a coat of Poorboy's EX Sealant on too.This is great stuff.I hate detailing cars,and this keeps the car really slick,keeps it from water spotting and protects the paint for a long time(probably six months or so on a daily driven car).
