This is good information. Thanks for the post. I'll check it out.

Total immersion car washes have been opening all across the DFW area the last several weeks. Most people are coming to accept if it says water on the road or there is blockade it's probably not a good idea to cross. There are also on the go car washes on the freeways, often done by the pickup truck in the next lane. They don't detail the interior unless you have your window open.

Nice work cleaning without taking off the cover but where are your jack stands?

I thought it was a new James Bond SAV

That's for sure bc. Lakes are closed but there's plenty of places on the roads to go boating right now! We had to head out to Possum Kingdom this weekend to launch. All the rain has really muddied up the water though. Sad part is a lot of people are going to be without summer income from lake related activities.

Bump once again....

Good call for me I should probably check it and at least get some anti corrosion grease on there so I don't get stranded in winter

Fwiw, I had the front left wheel well liner out (easy, but requires you to replace 6 one time use plastic rivets) and could see that the front to rear brake lines are all nicely exposed when the liner is off.

I suggest that if your corrosion is bad enough and is limited to the region in front of the coupler that lives under the drivers seat, you consider replacing the line that runs from the coupler to the DSC unit, with easy access once the wheel well liner is removed. No cutting & flaring required...

BMW OEM brake lines are inexpensive, and come cut to length with proper double flares and flare nuts) but you have to bend them yourself (a small PITA factor).

Is this something you and I need to do on yours since mine was done already and prepped?

Yep! Get ready for more single use rivet pulling!

Bump time
