Agreed! And I would but I'm going to save it for my 4-door that I'll start working on someday...

145,621 Installed the rear subframe inserts last night - no pics unfortunately, but I discovered that the E91 has a different rear subframe bushing than the sedans and coupes. The lower insert still went in fine but the upper was completely different. Some googling showed me that while FCP claims it’s for all chassis, the E91 does in fact have a slight bushing difference. Oh well, 6/8 isn’t bad and there was a very definite difference before and after. Firmer ride, but only because the rear shocks were now attenuating bumps instead of the subframe. No notable NVH increase, just better ride (IMO) and the car feels way more planted in really all cornering, but especially sweepers. Good bang for the buck I’d say! Ordered what will hopefully be my last set of front tension struts for awhile from FCP today - the M3 TRW struts had a COO change to Malaysia and ever since have had major ball joint failure problems that are being widely reported. Both pairs I bought failed within the first 5k or so. Going to try Meyle M3 arms to see if that fixes it permanently; if not, I think I’m just gonna light it all on fire 😂

Nice score, by far my favorite of all the factory spoiler options! Want to sell me your old IS spoiler now?

Got lucky on ebay a few weeks ago and scored something I've wanted for this car since the day I bought it, an e30 Mtech 1 spoiler! The rubber is in extremely good shape and the insert is conveniently already white!

145,383 Picked the car up today from International Autos, they went in and did the PCV and VANOS recall work - they noted the exhaust adjuster already had the bolts replaced, and just did the intake ones as a result (which checks out from Joe’s thread). I’ll gladly take the free VCG! Changed oil tonight - Liqui-Moly Special Tec 5W-30 and a Mann filter. While I was down there, I pulled the belly pan off and replaced the primary ground strap - old one was original I believe and getting gross. I found a seeping PS line while I was under there, not leaking much but I’ll add it to the list. Looks like the return line from the cooler to the reservoir. I also found blue fluid down in the PS pan, but I’m pretty sure it’s washer fluid since I accidentally filled to the brim last time and it’s still basically that full. I’ll keep an eye on it just in case.

145,xxx - I have hardly driven this car now that it’s snowy, I find it hard to justify when my truck already has surface rust and is more tolerant of starting in the cold. Replaced the rear license plate frame; it already had one snapped bolt and I broke another this year when putting on my new registration sticker so I figured it was time for a new one. No more rattles when closing the hatch!! Also bought a new cabin air filter (Hengst), really high quality with the foam seal around the outside. Took the opportunity to wipe the engine bay plastics down while I was in there. Also replaced a few fender liner pop rivets that I lost the center pins for when fixing the leaking washer fluid pump seals. Next up is confirming whether the whining I’m hearing is indeed the PS pump (going to pull the serpentine belt and see if it goes away) or if it’s the A/C compressor or alternator. I still have rear subframe inserts to install this spring, and a new ground strap to go on at the next oil change, which will hopefully happen this week or next. Debating on what tires to get this spring - the summers need replacing. I’ve heard good things about the DWS06, but it has 300TW tires on it now and they aged/wore out at the same time, so I don’t think I need anything that’ll wear harder. Leaning PS4S unless anyone has something else they love and would recommend over it?

Saw this RHD E36 323i the other week in Madison. It was super clean for being driven around in winter, guessing a recent import.
-
Sorry not sure why this didn’t show up in the unread for me. The certificate is renewed now, apologies on that. also I’m working on migrating to a new forum software, NodeBb, but it’s a slow process.

Who knows, hopefully Chris responds
-
I noticed that recently too, I dont know enough about that stuff to know what causes that...
-
So....what is going on with this? Seems little action and my browser now says the site is not secure?

Carbon lip, there may be Black Friday sales (Adro has my front lip for $616, I might get it as a spare)
-
A few updates, Got the new license plate in. Fitting for the vehicle. Put the winter setup on then hit a semi tire that got flung into my lane on I94 heading back to Wisconsin from Minneapolis. The question is should I spend 1600 on a new lip or find a one piece CF rep and send it? Pic of my two cars together at my place before I put the M3 in storage. (Its washed now don't worry) Feels bad.

That’s awesome! Congrats!

I am looking for the flap doors, lower box, and some misc parts for a heater core box for an e30. I would prefer to just buy a whole box for parts, but if you have individual parts that works too.

Asking $700 This retails for $700 on ECS, but then you are charged $300 in freight charges to get it delivered. Buy this one and don't pay the freight. Comes with fog lights, trim, and all the grille pieces. Comes from factory in primer, just needs to be painted. This has never been mounted. Purchased for my E90 and decided to go in a different direction with the car and no longer need it. Fits E90/E91 Pre LCI and LCI models. I'm located in Appleton.

I know this is a very old thread however, if you still have the harness crossbar for the E46 I will buy it. Lmk [email protected] thanks
-
Ill buy it if you still have it available thank you
-
Do you still have this harness bar for sale? I know it’s a very old thread. But looking for one for my e46. Thanks

I can finally drive at night (or early morning). Running like new at 75k miles, spark plugs are next. Car expenses have averaged out to around $900 a year the last four years. I will now look for a part time job to get upgrades for this build (carbon fenders and FBO while setting up for a bigger turbo)
