If I may offer a tip: I use a similar extractor (and it really does work great for the price) but never put cleaning solution into the tank. I use a separate sprayer for solution, then use the brush to agitate, then only hot water in the extractor to use as a rinse. I rinse and extract as I go until the water going back into the extractor is clear and free of suds. I'm not saying that's the only right way to do it, but I've been really pleased with the results of that method, and never wind up with sticky carpets. I'm really enjoying this channel! Tsus!

Brushed aluminium interior dash trim Looked incredible on E60 and is OEM.

13:40 maybe i'm wrong but new tires has red and yellow dots on sidewall, red dot indicates heaviest part of the tire and should go to the opposite side (must line up) of the valve stem on alloy wheel. Yellow dot MUST be next to the valve (heaviest part of rim). That way you need less weight for balancing ;)

I think a tip for removing e60 door panels is appropriate: Just stuff your Philips head plus sign type screwdriver into the trim button cap and remove the screw like that. Instead of trying to pry off that tiny little screw beauty cap/cover. Easier to do that than possibly Dent the panel. It's a couple dollars or euros for the screw cover. When you're done futzing with the door you can replace the cap. Or leave it off! =) or have just the right thin tool with a tiny lip. It's doable. But it could possibly Dent the panel no matter how good you are. Like e31 headliner panels won't come off without breaking clips unless you somehow get lucky from what I have seen.
