    I have them on the front already and for the price i can't complain. I like them and my rears are dead and the plate where the spring sits is about ready to snap so i need to swap them asap...

    Found a left rear quarter window shade last week at a local Pick n Pull. Installed that and with that success, I wired up the 2 extra taillight sockets. Last week I swapped out my amp because I had static in the left rear shelf speaks. It was necc. to code it to the car even though it was from the same year car. PO had cut the + leads on all 4 shelf speakers to stop the static!!!! So now my DSP works.

    If the fogs are original, they are always glass.

    Seems like I developed somekind of coolant leak, which is wierd.
    At work it dropped quite a lot of it, but at home my parking spot is always dry.
    Seems to come from the back of the engine, probably under intake manifold, but I dont get why it doesnt leak at home and I couldnt find any coolant around the engine bay.

    If the system is overfilled, where it will dump it?

    Well not much... My wife has been driving E38. I bought this 316i for winter and has been working on it. It is all original.


    This is where I am at now... Still long way to go. Gotta install remote controlled webasto, fix few oil leaks, front brakes, tie rods, camber bolts are seized etc...



    Thinking of running these 18" wheels from my cabriolet in winter. Seems to work nicely on a red E36.

    PO did the suspension work... I think it's H&R springs. I can't compare to how it felt stock unfortunately, since I didn't drive it that way. It's a bit bouncy over bumps, yet still has some lean in corners that surprised me, compared to the E34 M5s I used to have.

    Had my M-Pars professionally refinished. Removed all 4 tires, soaked the wheels in acid to strip off old paint, powdercoated the entire wheel and then machine finished the spokes / outside lip, then added clear. Looks amazing!!

    Swapped my 4-spoke bicycle wheel for a 3-spoke M wheel from a 2000 540i with dual stage bag.

    Quite a difference in feel, even more fun to drive the sled!
