I first saw the credit card trick on m539 restorations here, he was using it to get the area between the rear window glass and the pillar. I guess you guys are sleeping on this channel.
This is a good watch it's pretty much how to paint correct. Especially if you have a black car.

The x5's been really good. There's still a fuel trim code that comes and goes. I'm finally done with the m52 stuff. It's running fantastic but there's still a piston slap, as I suspected the entire time. Great. This weekend I'll be bringing the x in the garage for a little checkup. I got a smoke tester kit. Hopefully the intake manifold is not off tomorrow afternoon.
