    Excellent! Fenders appear properly filled!
    Please add wheel specs.

    Is there really that little caster in the front, or did you dial almost all of it out with plates? Not knowing anything about the E36 chassis, I was expecting 7 degrees or more...

    Actually now that I think about it that was the delta between the two I just remember that number since we talked about it. I don't recall seeing the actual angle but it was unchanged from my last alignment I'll dig up the sheet when I get home since I think he forgot to throw the new one in the car today.

    Stock Z3 is around 3.5. M is over 7. Mixing the two, M caster on Z3 knuckles or visa versa, causes horrendous bump steer.

    Is that the German version of the CD changer cover?

    I'm indifferent about the euro glovebox. What's actually impressive to me about both those parts is that the 'inner' mounting tabs (that hold the speed nuts behind the center console wings) are actually intact.

    I know! I saw the setup in Mark's car and decided to keep an eye out for them. For roughly 100 shipped to me I can't complain after looking one night and both in beige.

    So wheel weights are in! I took the time today while I was touching up the lips from Schuh's mayhem and fitting a little more clearances in the fenders to weigh them.

    (On my highly calibrated bathroom scale)
    Front: ~55lbs
    Rear: ~60.5lbs

    Taking into consideration the tire weights I had from before:
    295/30/18 Yokohama AD08R -31lbs
    255/35/18 Yokohama AD08R -28lbs

    Front wheels: 27lbs
    Rear wheels: 29.5lbs

    Have some photos to upload this weekend of the finalized S50 euro tank swap but they are still on the card in the camera.

    Worth every cent. I'm anxious to drive it again now since I just made some more clearance adjustments. Need to see if they are still rubbing as bad as they were before

    Those weights are going to be off by a good few pounds because they take into account the air fill (balancing weights and valve stems too). I would knock at least 2lbs. off those weights as an estimate.

    I'm not really that worried about the weights more for informational purposes. I wouldn't be surprised if the scale was off 2-3% itself.

    We could go through the theory of compressed air weight, but I'll just post real numbers once I get more pictures hosted. Maybe we're talking a few dozen grams and not a few pounds though. We'll see. =/

    My measurements on my 255/315s: total of balancing weights on all four tires=12oz. Throw in 4 rubber valve stems and we're still under a pound. I've weighed wheel&tire combos un-inflated and over inflated and could not measure any real world difference.

    This. On a bathroom scale my weights are "closenuff"

    Did I just read someone saying 2lbs for valve stem. Air and balance weights?
