Installed a new glovebox latch. Wow, what a difference.

Put my passenger's side trim back on, after it blew off during... high-speed testing... of new driveshaft and wheels.

Next up... ZF rebuilt steering rack.

Within this last week I treated the leather upholstery and got a new battery...cleaned it a little more this weekend too!

**ecc3189** · 11-09-2009, 11:06 AM

This weekend was spent replacing the t-belt, water pump, coolant, oil, tranny fluid, dist cap and rotor, plugs, fixing some trim on the car, and a good wash and wax!

now i have to fix the odo and tach...

**OptimusGlen** · 11-09-2009, 01:45 PM

This weekend I did control arms, tie rods, control arm bushings/ball joints on the 318is. And replaced a hood on the 325is.

This week I will tackle the vacuume hose simplification on the M42. And get it aligned.

Next weekend I will do the timing belt/tensioner on the M20.

**CHIF8008** · 11-09-2009, 01:48 PM

**bimmer95** · 11-09-2009, 02:44 PM

Last week: Pulled the transfer case AGAIN to replace the mangled shift shaft seal, swapped the leaking oil pressure switch, found out the right motor mount was toast.

Today: Hopefully picking up the new motor mount which had to be shipped over from Germany.

got it cleaned up and went for a drive today. Car ran great and thought I would take a pic with the sweet bottle caps on. Still undecided if I should put a red stripe around the wheels or leave them black? Thought about painting the spoiler black but seems like alot of people are doing it so I will leave it be for now

**topdown323** · 11-10-2009, 12:37 AM

^^^that actually looks really nice, not usually a fan of painted wheels, but it looks...clean. props.

**DaRvDrUmS** · 11-10-2009, 11:07 AM

Didn't actually "do" anything, just ordered some parts. Got a new O2 sensor, which I'm hoping will help with my idling problem. Also got some OEM window switches, as the aftermarket ones I initially bought ended up being crap! Oh yeah, also ordered some new fog lights. Did you know that the OEM ones are no longer available from Tischer!? They had them for pretty cheap too...

**Thehemiman12345** · 11-10-2009, 09:08 PM

Drove it! Just like I do every other day...

**topdown323** · 11-10-2009, 09:46 PM

**SWells** · 11-12-2009, 04:34 PM

Drove to work then home, then spent the past few hours trying to figure why my blower motor isint working.

**LouieD** · 11-12-2009, 05:42 PM

Picked up a 3.73 LSD unit for it.

**Popobo69** · 11-12-2009, 05:44 PM

**610EURO** · 11-12-2009, 05:48 PM

**Atltee** · 11-12-2009, 08:16 PM

I am not a noobie but stumbled onto a noobie situation today.

I have 4 e30s The most recent is two week old and I was cleaning the trunk. I have never seen the "Vibration Dampner" in the trunk before.

Part 51711942238.

This is a new on on me.

When I pulled it, I was just checking for rust and thought it may have been a weight to replace the rear battery.

odd.

**Sigsaucer647** · 11-12-2009, 08:18 PM

wasnt today, but tuesday dropped $600 on it for the parts for a 5 speed swap. goodbye autotragic

**topdown323** · 11-12-2009, 09:06 PM

**Sigsaucer647** · 11-12-2009, 09:30 PM
