Best E90 site for repair & maintenance?
New daily driver, the most modern car I've ever owned and am weary of the electronics. Phenomenal driver, paint and interior are close to new, just want to maintain it to keep it that way, what's the best site for that?

Just keep it washed and waxed, park it inside if possible and get an unlimited pass to your neighborhood self car wash for the winter. The ones in Minnesota are fantastic, all indoors, (duh), and hot water comes out of the pressure wash wands. Power wash the crap out of the entire car, especially the wheel wells and as much under car as you can reach frequently.
For the interior, avoid any type of coating products. Just keep it vacuumed and dusted w a damp towel. I swear by the blue microfiber drying towels they sell at Autozone here. I use them on cars/motorcycles/phone and computer screens/eye glasses/you name it. Just make sure they are clean or you can scratch surfaces w the dirt. Throw them in the washing machine w your clothes. That's about it. |
