    You need to get that rocker fixed before it fills up with too much crap!

    Well it wasn’t today - but Friday I installed poly bushings on my front suspension. For those who’ve said in the past that a lowered e38 rides like a truck after swapping the rubber for the poly I can only respond with - i’m 10-20 good buddy - i’m Gone ...

    Thanks! Still not a great angle, but they're Breyton Flames off of my old e39, they need to be refinished but don't look terrible from a distance, much better than stockers

    Well, considering the lens fell off one side of the stock set shortly after I got home that's not an option. I don't like the orange, I would've preferred a lighter tinted clear set, but a member had this set for sale very reasonable so I went with these. I still like these better than orange

    My windshield washers have never worked since purchase so I decided today to find out why. I could hear the pump working so I pulled the cowl vent off and disconnected the hoses to the spray nozzles. No water from the hoses? I had gotten a pump from a wreck weeks earlier so I swapped it out. Now I had water to the nozzles but the plastic hose to the right one was cracked.I ended up cutting off about 5 inches of plastic hose and slipped on vacuum hose. Now they work! Tomorrow I will insert a sewing needle into the nozzles to align them better to the windshield. The nozzles pivot like an eye socket so I can align them evenly left to right.

    Where did you get the bushing from?

    Black 1/4 in. Plastic hose that’s available at any hardware store works perfect to replace the plastic lines did my entire hood with it couple of years ago and no issues looks stock also

    Seven went to sleep yesterday. Just on time!
    Ahead is 24hours of non-stop snowing.
    But now I can park E39 again on two spots

    Do you need the caliper brackets too? What brand of rotors?

    They came with both front and rear brackets. I went with the duralast rotors since I got 20% off and free shipping. Painted the hubs myself with high temp paint.

    I was about to say the corrosion protection looked great. Where did you get the calipers?

    Thanks! Autozone for the fronts, rock auto for the rears. Purchased online.

    I shopped a lot of places, inventory seems to be really low on them.

    I don’t see the brackets in your picture that purple is talking about. Are you sure you got them? He is talking about the brackets that the calipers mount to that usually stay with the car.

    Put my T-stat on, now I don't have to drive in high gears to keep the car from underheating

    They are fully assembled in the pic. Here is the caliper and bracket.

    Finally got the new rear inner wheel well liners in. Those things are stiff in the cold and hard to get shoved all the way up in there at the lip of the flare. But a huge difference... the old ones had gotten quite brittle and just pulled out in tiny pieces.
