oh ’ello, what’s this I see in my driveway

Kinja'd!!!

so many M logos

Kinja'd!!!

small (it was the x3 not the x5), hatchbacky, BASICALLY the same as my little RuqSaq

Kinja'd!!!

in what we all assume is just a long con sales ploy, my sister in law w as given this overpowered M toy as a loaner while her more generic X3 was have some repairs

“repairs? pfft, why not just trade yours in and buy this M version? it’s all so logical” ~ the BMW sales guy (probably)

Kinja'd!!!

then, to keep everything european, I spent my day tearing down a friend’s Golf’s driver’s seat

Kinja'd!!!

you can see it right?

Kinja'd!!!

this tiny failure that stopped the whole seat heater to not function

Kinja'd!!!

of course repair was a simple COMPLETE tear down and replacement. :D

and then, I rewarded myself for a job well done (the seat heater of course worked after reassembly) by meeting a CL stranger to get a new seat mount for my as yet unacquired seat for project RuqSaq, making my interior parts acquisition nearly complete

Kinja'd!!!

These integra passenger and rear seats will join a prelude centre console and some form or racing style fixed seat to refresh my tired ‘93 civic ultra base model interior.

I think the only thing I don’t like is that the integra seat’s pattern continues onto the headrest, I’d prefer it was dark grey. a problem I may be able to solve with some swapping.

My wife had a top-of-the-line Mini Clubman for 2 weeks while they fixed a couple water intrusions in her Cooper S. I guessed the sticker price dead on: we paid about $20k for hers, 3 years old but only 8,000 miles - the 2019 Clubman fulled kitted out was $40k, twice the money. All set, thanks.
