What have you done to your car today?

[philbo909]

Fresh brembo pads and discs on the front, night and day difference, could stop a train!

Fitted these today, swapped the bases over with my SE seats to make them heated/electric memory. Love them, so comfortable and huggy.

They would look better in my car

They look great "bowler".

The colour looks like a good match to your car and 107s are a lovely wheel!

Drove the car out the garage, washed and polished it, then put it back in the garage, trickle charger on cover on.

Fitted some x3 19s to my e46... It doesn't actually move now it's so low don't worry I'm raising it tomorrow

The leather of the steeringwheel was completely worn, so I had it replaced with nappa-leather, feels awesome:

Checked the roof drains. Driver side dry, passenger side had a puddle in there (roof motor is in the boot). Bottom drain clear, top drain the problem. Prod about with an old BBQ skewer cleared the problem, area now dry.

You can change on the move.

When you hit Sport with the throttle depressed to any degree there is no immediate change. When you next lift off the throttle on reapplication it will have changed to give more throttle opening for less pedal travel.

When you turn Sport off with the throttle depressed it immediately goes back to normal which can easily be felt on the motorway as the car slows down slightly.

For ages I drove around in Sport everywhere except town where 1st gear is annoyingly jumpy. It is great for heel and toe. Then I started using normal again and found the steering better and even more involvement as more control over the throttle and more input required to get the same effect.

To be frank, electric throttle is a right royal pain in the arse on any car I can recall. I miss a good old cable as it did what you asked, nothing more and nothing less. None of this damped or oversprung response BS.

Interesting observations.

I drive around in Sport mode all the time - every journey is ignition on and button pressed. I prefer the lighter more responsive throttle response, however, I cant really notice any difference in the steering.
My understanding it that the steering feel is supposed to change in Sport mode - tighten up / heavier?
Leaving aside the throttle response, are you saying that you prefer the feel of the steering when not in Sport mode?

I find the main difference in the steering between sport and comfort is when on the motorway. Sport gives a lot more positive response

Relocated roof motor in to the boot, made a start on lolly pop bush replacement

Based on Steve84N's experience I've been driving around this weekend not in sport mode and am quite enjoying it

Got bored so thought I would look into why my rear drop door goes rat-ta -ta-tat when I open it. I think it the plastic bush moving out of it hole.

So removed it and taken door cover off to double check

Now just glued bush in place
