Strange Grey Goo Between Headlights and Fenders

When I first saw this a few weeks ago, I thought it was just some substance that happened to hit the front of the car and I wiped it off with alcohol. It has since reappeared in the gap between the...

Broke two of the air vent, of all things. Fixed the rear one, but bought a used part on e-bay for the front pass side. The silver guide lever came adrift in both cases.

Autospecialty Powerstop Brakes

Has anyone had experience with their rotors and pads? Am considering one of their front kits that is attractively priced. Not the race parts, just daily driver.

We have a 2016 X3 with the base engine, which is peppy but not as smooth as the six. A smaller but nimbler drive.

2009 30i - use Mobile 1 5W-30?

I'm getting ready for an oil change - in 800 miles, according to the service indicator.
I always used M1 5W-30 in the E53. Is that OK for the E70?

Yup, $3K only and we started at $2.4K. KBB trade was about $3.4K, but they did make it up on the other end with student discounts, etc. KBB retail was about $4.6K.

I have checked with the dealer he can't find the part number after I couldn't find it on real oem. What I did was make my own ground strap using a thick piece of copper wire, insulated.
