    It's Christmas in January!

    I broke my parking brake release handle today. Bummer.

    Also installed a Firefox plug-in so I can see embedded photobucket images again. At least on my work computer anyway.

    I removed the radiator from my 2000 740iL to use it in my 99. The 2000 is now a parts car. Tonight I have to try to replace the radiator in the 99.

    Tried to chase down electrical gremlins in my ‘95 i. I’m new to this car and a first time BMW owner, having just bought this one a week ago. I’ve been reading everything I can here on the forums. Lots of great information; this is definitely an invaluable asset to a newb like me!

    New door seals all around, from URO on eBay got all four for $150 so I had to. My chinese ones were too thin and didn't actually seal anything.

    As a RESULT, washed the car! My fingers are still numb, being that it's January.

    Put a new battery in, 900 CCA (1100 cranking amps) 185min reserve and 100Amp Hour dealy, $190 from Canadian Tire.

    All in all, good day for the girl. All clean, and full of energy. My other battery was 2.5v haha deeead.

    Fixed interior bits coming loose at the B-pillars, de-carbon all spark plugs with rotary tool, EGR pipe on passenger side bolt came off making my car sound awful. Loosened up driver side bolt and tightened both. Now it sounds better. Best thing is my lady gave me a hand. Gotta love a lady who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty 💞💓💕

    On the road with a weird rumbling/vibration while cruising on the highway. Vibration seems to subside when you accelerate. No way to get it up in the air to take a look so I stopped at the only place that could get me in. A Honda dealer.

    Yeah - loose lug nuts! WTF! I put the winter tires on two months ago, torqued everything twice with the torque wrench. Never had any vibrations or issues. Even the day before this happened I drove with no issues. Then yesterday morning as soon as I started driving I noticed a vibration. Attributed it to snow in the wheel. Nope, left rear lugs backed off. Pretty strange. Going to check the other car that's sitting in the driveway just in case.

    That is very odd. Are you running any spacers? I have seen this (not on a BMW with lug bolts) on cars with lug nuts that have been lubed with anti-seize. And cars with aluminum spacers.

    Nope no spacers. Plenty of anti-seize though. Never had this happen before and I specifically use a torque wrench for tightening. I suppose after doing it literally hundreds of times it's bound to happen once. I mean there is no other explanation other than human error. Of course the tire shops always say come back in 1000 miles for a re-torque, but I did not re-torque them after the first day. I will be doing that in the future though!
