Weekending with E90M3

I bought my girlfriend flowers on Friday and I didn’t realize until she had put them in a vase that I had inadvertently gotten BMW colors. That said, I did put a BMW roundel on her fridge back in January.

If there’s ever anything I’m trying to gaslight her on, it’s me getting a third BMW.

Sadly, she’s working this weekend; being a resident is no fun and I can’t wait until she’s done. I tried to go to the junkyard with a friend but his wife woke up with a fever on Thursday so that didn’t happen. So I decided to run some errands. I went to Costco and got some tasty beverages.

I also got a Costco pizza there.

When I was growing up, we rarely ate out and Costco was one of the few places we’d eat at regularly. My parents didn’t like to spend the money for us to eat out and the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve understood. I actually cook a good amount, but I’ve eaten out a decent amount with dating. After Costco, I gave my 3 a much needed bath.

It was absolutely filthily.

It cleaned up nicely.

I think this is the first time I’ve washed it myself since I was in Savannah and had some sick days to burn. After that, I got a shower and awakened the M3.

It was low on fuel, so I got it out and warmed it up and then filled it up. Went to the jewelry store afterwards to look at watches, because not. They didn’t have anything I needed, but considering I already bought a Day-Date at the beginning of Corona, I didn’t need to buy another Rolex during a pandemic. It was really weird to wear a mask in a jewelry store, almost wrong.

One reason I hadn’t been driving the M3 as much as I was worried it was burning oil. I actually went and got a liter to keep in the trunk; however it seems like it’s fine. It was showing low after the last oil change I had gotten, but after adding about 200 mL from a bottle, it seems good. A gasket looks like it’s starting to weep, but that’s a future problem. If anything, it’s leaking a couple mL every couple months.

Think I might do the rod bearings soon, just for peace of mind.

Other than that, just been playing some COD. Not the worst weekend ever.
