Would love to tap into your experience.. This is something I want to do later this year.

A bunch of goodies. Only owned her for a little over a month now, but auto is gone and manual is in. Coding getting finished up as I type this.

Reach out to me once you start. Depending on the build year coding can be a pain. Also if you want better than new e36 shift lever performance i can let you know what parts to get as far as zero wiggle in gear, short throw and zero notchiness. Coming from 2 oem e36 manuals i live the way this set up is 100x more.

The downside to purchasing a 20yr old car with only 60k miles on the clock, my vcg went, so i just replaced that. O2 sensor up next. Look at that top end though.

Not to sound like a prick but, why not share non wobbly shifters with the whole community?





Bought her some tires =)

Guaranteed +5 HP when you climb in and out of the window like a NASCAR driver LOL, +10 HP when you make the passenger do it too LOL.

[LockDots]

Passenger & Driver exterior door handles, gaskets, trim, an extra key (all coded), and a brake switch. Definitely not looking forward to replacing ANY of that =/

[kovrol]

as you said its only credit card

Hahahaha. I got the old actuator out and the door unlocked, but the door will still get stuck locked if I lock it, even without the actuator installed... I'm afraid to install the new one in case it doesn't fix it. Unlocking it isn't easy when it gets stuck!

What does add/restore a ton of HP is installing new precat O2 sensors and new air filter (which looks like it had never been changed)! This car is amazing to drive, even with my "VANOS Mechanically Stuck".

p.s., if you accidentally swap the connectors for your O2 sensors you'll know in about 30 seconds of driving!

Installed Xbrace, purchased LTW motorsport glove box, having fikses redone for bimmerfest - its going to be hit or miss if they're done, have michelin PSS for them, have a fresh alignment for them, picked up style 5s for my e34, and some other non important stuff..

You better get that glove box soon before it gets re-appropriated
