COVID cleaning
You know when you're bored when it's a lovely day and you spend four hours cleaning the car. Now I can't use it because we have to stay at home, and it only has 500 miles on it

Too bad we don't get (And likely we'll never see) a G31 on this side of the Atlantic. To me this is car is such a no brainer against a X3 or X5. BMWUSA and BMW Canada have decided that there is no market for this car in this continent. What a bunch of bullshite. They rather push and sell every X SUV produced by the US factory. I am happy with my "saloon" G30 but the G31 would be a tempting proposition if available here. The last time the US market received a 5er Estate was 2009 with the E61.

Looking good buddy, I think my next one will be that colour. Seen a few now and its floating my boat.
I've been doing the same with my 2 My X1 got a full wash, decon, 1 step machine polish then a coat of Autoglym UHD Wax Then my 5 series got the same treatment, although I used a few different products on this. Bonnet shot to show the results. Ive done 0 miles, in the last 4 weeks now. Home working, plenty of time in the evening and weekends are just pottering about with the cars etc. Mostly drunk and spending a fortune on ebay LOL

No mate, I am going stir crazy....I take the wife to work in the x1 everyday, then pick up her up. But I never leave the car. I'm asthmatic, so watch what I am doing. The wife's work place are very strict and have PPE and screens in place to protect her. It just gets me out and its essential travel, she is an essential worker I have an antibacterial spray coating on the dash (not sure how good it is) and such like and hand gel, so she can sanitise her hands as soon as she gets in the car. Today, I have been to the bottom of my driveway, in my garage and then I spoiled myself and went into the back garden for a look. Tomorrow, I am going to count the decking screws. You a doc?

Nice. I have been dealing with boredom by playing golf. Fortunately, it is permitted in Arizona. Separate carts, no ball washers, etc. and leave the pins in. Get some exercise while still staying with social distance.
