  4. Per title, I'm looking for a black sedan rear seat. Mine is missing and Id like to find a replacement.
  5. Last week
  6. Sorry for the late reply back all I greatly appreciate all of the information and guidance. I will keep you all posted once I get started.
  7. Earlier
  8. Thanks! The only differences are this one has heated rear seats, and it doesn't have ventilated seats or a HUD like the 2011 does. It has all the good stuff that comes with the premium and cold weather packages though. Gonna start on paint correction and detail today...
  9. One of my personal favorite e30s! Love this!
  10. Bumping this to keep the spirit alive until Earl can come give us hope.
  11. Thanks! I really hope so as well. Slowly finding all kinds of fun hidden in this car. Ill have a better update soon with all the "fun" Well spotted! I was really hoping to restore them back to original quality but unfortunately 3 out of the 4 are severely bent. I did have the one good wheel cleaned up and is ready for paint. It will make a nice spare.
  12. Welcome ! Bummer on the water but looking forward to following along on the build. Are those yellow E38 16” style 5’s?
  13. Sweet! Always great when that long term play pays off. Any good options the other X5 doesn’t have?
  14. Nice find! Hope you get it running without too much hassle.
  15. Come on over to the Waupaca Airport on May 11, 2024 for some wings and wheels at this year's Badger Bimmers Spring Picnic!!! We will have use of the hangar, and food will be available for purchase. (Or you can bring your own) Parking will be on the grass, we'll be sure it's mowed and level before you come. Any questions, let me know!! Hope to catch you there!! https://facebook.com/events/s/badger-bimmers-spring-picnic/1507363836828817/
  16. I recently picked up a 2000 328Ci on a whim not really knowing a lot about it. It’s my first E46 platform car and I’m learning a lot quickly on their weak points. From what I have been able to gather, the car was running and was taken apart to install an m50 manifold. It has now been through a few owners and no one has been able to make it run properly again. So I drove over and picked the car up along with a bunch of extra parts in the trunk. I took inventory of what was included and realized that there was quite a bit missing. After a couple phone calls and a few hours in the car I had aquired an exhaust, an extra intake, and some missing ccv parts. With those sourced I sat down with some parts manuals and placed an order with fcp. And waited….. While I waited I tore everything apart to attempt to clean and get ready to put everything back together. Thats when I found it…. IMG_7254.mov Cylinder 4-5-6 were full of water from the car being stored outside with no intake. I removed the plugs and turned the engine over by hand first to make sure nothing was tight. Followed by an air nozzle to blow as much water out of the cylinders as I possibly could. I poured some out in the cylinders and continued to turn it over by hand until I was confident that everything was moving smoothly. I’m not seeing any water in the oil which is good. It will be changed shortly here just to have a current record on the service. To be continued…
  17. A couple of years ago, I was at a friend's party when I saw this X5d roll up. Intrigued, I found out the owner was the mother of my buddies wife. I got to chatting and found out she bought it new, and had it meticulously serviced at a local BMW dealer. I asked that she was ever to sell it, to let me know. She firmly said she doesn't plan on selling anytime soon because she loves it so much. Well, in December she called and said she is finally getting a new vehicle in the springtime. We worked out a deal to purchase and I brought it home a week ago. It had a CEL for the glow plug module when we picked it up, and knocked some money off.for us 😁 It is emissions in tact, with a recent DPF replacement. I immediately checked the coolant temp and found it to be at 158. 🤷🏼‍♂️. You would think a dealer would check this..... Otherwise it needed absolutely nothing.... This lady brought it to the dealer for every little thing, with over $14k in service work in the last two years, with a total of all repair receipts since new of $38,844.42! 😳 Off to Cascade German Parts and FCP Euro I went and filled up my shopping cart with a thermostat, glow plugs and module, gaskets, swirl flap delete, coolant flange, and a pcv hose. I went to work this week and got it all fixed up. I don't plan on hitting a pothole until a problem comes about since everything is new. CBU was surprisingly not bad considering the 145k miles. This will become the new garage queen, with the potholed 2011 becoming the daily. Sometimes we get lucky!!
  18. Well thank you, I love it and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Honestly it’s shocking how well you timed it because I had an EF shirt that was very similar that I’ve had since high school. I recently tossed it away because the entire print was worn off the shirt and it was tattered with holes and oil stains. Hopefully I can keep this one a decade or more, just like the last!
  19. Granted this is a longshot but I'm looking for a Speedline Type 2116 wheel (also known as Chrono or maybe Super Turismo). Specs stamped on the wheels are 17x8 and ET40. What makes these a bit more unique is that they BMW fitment 5x120 with an e36/46 centerbore (72.56). A few years ago, I picked up a used set of four. Three of the wheels were in good condition. One wheel though has two repaired cracks on the inside edge that look have been professionally done, but ideally I would like to find a clean one. Let me know if you have or happen to come across one or more of these. Thanks! Here is what the Type 2116 wheel looks like:
  20. 🤣Fair enough, lol. I know your first love was Hondas and I got bored looking at BMW stuff so I took a chance.
  21. Getting condensation on the passenger side headlight, now my DRLs don’t work. Not sure if this can get fixed.
  22. 131,050 Well, my time with this car has come to an end. What a wonderful car and one I’ll truly miss, but it was time. It sat nearly all summer and was just getting to be a pain to maintain on top of the truck, e30, and e91. It went to a local guy who was looking for a neat older car to learn to wrench on, so I think it’ll suit him well. It remains the quietest, most solidly built car I’ve ever owned, it was seriously a tank. Hung the tail out in the snow pretty impressively too. Replaced the blower motor before I sold it, and sent two sets of wheels and most of my e34 spares along as well. I’m excited to have the space back, one less project, and to be able to focus more on the E91 and E30. I still have the MOMO Heritage 6’s and the m-systems, if anyone was wondering haha. MOMO’s will be listed as soon as I wash them, and the M-Systems will hopefully get their restoration completed once the e30 is back on the road. Farewell to the E34 club, it’s been a good ride!
  23. So I have a used set of BMW Style 44 wheels that I picked up around five years ago that has seen better days. Aside from all wearing 2011 build date snow tires, one wheel is bent and another is cracked. Fine that's what you end up with sometimes. But here's the question. Although all the spoke stampings and casting marks are the same on the four wheels (size, offset, BMW, etc.), I noticed that the bent one has a different inner lip (an actual lip) than the other three (flat surface). Are there different versions of Style 44s, have I got the style wrong, would a replica have a BMW casting, or is this just a thing? Any insights from BMW tech gurus?
  24. Im still slacking with @rampelsauces gift. Sorry. Ill have it out Monday. Its packaged up sitting on my desk.
  25. Hey everyone, P_Roloff is wondering if his gift has been sent out yet. Not everyone replied in the forum thread either that they received their gifts. I don’t know what the matches are so sending out a message is the best I can do. If you have P_Roloff as your drawn name you can send him a message directly by going to My Drawn Name and scrolling down to the text box “Ask a question anonymously” to say the gift was sent out or not at this point or contact him directly on the forum or if you have his info and don’t mind giving up anonymity. If anyone else is waiting on a gift still please reply as well to help track that down.
  26. I assume all those cars on the poster were / are yours?
  27. They worked well, I did get stuck one time at the end of my subdivision, but I was able to get out after clear traffic
