2018 what did you do to your e38 today?

[nike32]

Зачёт, must be nice roads in Finland I assume?

Depends. Where I live they are ok, but over some speed bumps that we have I cannot go, it is not little bumps, but quite high like one in the pictures, but overall roads are ok.

Last night upgraded 4:3 to 16:9 I'll do new tail lights and center dash vent today20180511_224450_HDR.jpg

Dinan - replaced drippy expansion tank & radiator cap. Tomorrow replacing the starter, bendix acting up for 3 years, adios.
750 - had previous owners locking lug bolts removed, had AC evacuated and charged. was .47lbs over the 1.5lb requirement. Also
drove it out of town today first time, 100 miles trouble free. No lights. Knock on wood. It really just needs different wheels and a
respray at some point. 70k miles, worth saving I think.

If you are changing the bendix because of the single click when trying to start - good luck! I hope it helps but I doubt - mine does that as well. If the battery is fully charged and I mean fully, it will not do it as often otherwise yep it does!.

Love that interior! Very nice!

So I replaced two doors on my black shorty yesterday. The doors I purchased sight unseen turned out to have been sideswiped and painted at some point. They are a little bent. But there is no rust and they close fine so I guess I'll see how they buff up. Another less than satisfying project though. I will replace one more door later this week.

In process photo:


I was unsatisfied so no after picture yet. Will clean and buff then see how it looks. The old doors were crumbling though.

Would you want to drive around the city while shifting gears? I might get tired of it, I don't know. Now if you lived in Vermont where the traffic is a touch lighter it would be perfect!

Is that Kilgan’s 750?

[TxDarth]

I know that why I am thinking on this one

I drove JL's Mini with a 6 speed for two weeks - including an accident on the interstate where it was stop and go for about 15 miles, what a BITCH!!! I then remembered what I liked about Auto's - it was a pleasure to get back into Darth. I was even looking for an Auto over std when looking for the 3 series I just bought Some say the auto is the weak spot in the 335i - they are fast enough that when driven "Sportingly" that is the first problem....

Yip, was able to seperate Dave from the 750 and carry on his work. He gets first option on repurchasing when/ if the time ever comes

I made that same agreement with the friend that steered me to this 335i I just bought...now spent 1200.00 on parts and still not done, plus many hours of my labor.

I never said at what price lol, seriously though walked in eyes wide open.

The price was very fair - it is just as frustrating working on all the damn leaks! They are every where - both oil and coolant. I think I am now down to one big one on the passenger side somewhere around the turbos....which I found out yesterday that they were replaced last year so they are less than a year old. That is a big savings...

Oh snap! Just do it.... I just brought home this little gem yesterday. A 2011 Range Rover Supercharged in Rimini Red. Even though by 2011, most of the BMW bits had been removed from the L322 Range Rover platform there are still a few carryovers in the interior that make it feel like I am in my E38. It is mostly the buttons/switches on the center console, sunroof controls, window/mirror controls that are clearly BMW carryover. I gotta say though, this 5.0L supercharged engine is a beast... and I am in love with the color.





Looks pretty good in the garage too but the 7 still gets the special "end" stall....
