What did you do to your E9 today?

[BarneyT]

Took our coupe out for a drive yesterday and noticed that we had just rolled over 10k in the last year since finishing the refresh on the car… 11 days 2700 miles from Austin to Asheville to the Vintage and back with no problems and a/c something I’m not used to in my 2002s.

Local cars and coffee today. L-R: my brother in law with his Tii (the Wheeler Dealer episode car), @Larry Louton with his beautiful Baikal e3, moi, and new member @HazMatt with his recent sweet acquisition, a former coupeking resto from years back. Missing from the Polaris-only e9 club is @jjs2800cs with his 2800cs fresh off the resto, he had to depart pre-photo. A good turnout of the old guard today.

Out of curiosity, why do people mask off the license plate numbers? They are on public display at all times anyway.

 

[Breiti]

Because of ultra restricted data protection laws here in Germany.
believe me, isn't funny.....

Isn't the privacy regulation (GDPR) only for companies? If you (or I) post pictures of cars, we are not held to that law.
I do GDPR regulation for our company, but I am unaware about your German situation - Do you have any additional national laws on this?

Now, there is also the dilemma that thieves sometimes make use of personal data that they harvest from scams, internet sources etc. Not having your license plate online reduces chances on getting scammed. See my avatar? It's also got a blurred license plate for that reason.

Anyway what the motivation is: Little effort - Zero risk.

My girlfriend get her mobile stolen some years ago.
We went to the police and ask, If they could localize it.
The answer was;
Due to data protection, they are not allowed to fo so......

What should I say, we reach the final data protection level here in Germany.

Back to the roots, BMW's

My painter is making sure all the lines are good before painting

Visited car again and was super excited no rust has been found anywhere on the body. Bubbling paint on C pillar was just a bad paint job in past not due to rust. Love owing a car that had always lived in a California garage.

Constructied a device to safely hold the front light grill trim. This keeps the very fragile aluminum pieces secure from bending and twisting when I sand buff and polish. Works great so far

Are those two-color (clear / orange) Italian turn signals on the black E3 vehicle in Breiti's post?
[I believe that's an E3. The turn signals have a very different shape than the turn signals on the adjacent CSL's.]

Fast way to get rid of all debris and as a extra benefit, the old glue get loosened.

Do that not the first time this way.

I am not brave enough to do that at home...

I did just put some smaller rubber parts in my ultrasonic cleaner and was pleased as the paint that was on them was loosened and could just be wiped away.
