For Oshkosh/Fox Valley locals - check out "Throttle Thursdays" on FB. Once weather gets nice again we'll start up the weekly/biweekly GTG's at Mahoneys in Oshkosh. They reserve some of the parking lot for us and have a very nice patio right next to the parking lot (perfect for hanging out and shooting the crap with local enthusiasts over beverages!)
Hope to see some of you there

I purchase a set of these to replace my worn out buttons.

I popped off the rear cover to reveal 2 screws. I removed both screws.
 

 
Remove board as shown.
 

 
Start removing old buttons. Use caution and work slowly. 
 

 
I broke a few tabs but all is good. Again use caution.
 

 
I cut off the fake led light as my key had a real one.
 

 
I needed to cut a corner off the lock button to clear the chip.
 

 
The chip had some adhesive holding it down preventing it from rattling. I used a dab of shoe goo to hold it in place.
 
Put it all back together with a new battery and all it good.
 
If replacing battery, you have 30 seconds to get the new battery in once the old is out. It took me about 3 seconds so it should not be a problem. If battery is out for longer you will have to re-initialize the key.

On Arcadian just off 164
If you are on a budget then I have a nice dremel

Since mid-summer of last year I've been gathering parts for air ride. (Yea it took a while. Buying e30 stuff gets in the way. Haha) I've had the struts since summer and I just ordered my management. I have air lift performance struts and will be using switchspeed management.

Glad to see you are getting stuff done! I also appreciate the Bentley that you left on the workbench! 
Best cheater pipe in the shop is the jack handle lol.

Thanks - Are you around Oshkosh?!?
I bought some stuff acouple weeks ago... More to come.

I'm in too. Someone's getting adult diapers.

OK first my diclaimer:
I in no way intend to be condescending or an ass hole in this post.
 
Restricting a group means of communication to a forum in an age of social media just feels a little old fart ish. What does that mean? Well there is a whole world out there outside of WI. I understand we are WI Bimmers but no other Bimmer group will ever be aware of our existence unless they search this exact forum and name via Google which probably isn't even the first result.
 
New members? How is that a bad thing? In my experience the more members you have the more possible participants you will have for you meets and events. 100 members total and a forum = 100 forum members. 500 members and 30% forum participation = 150 forum members. It's a numbers game and if the younger members like me 25 and under find it easier to communicate and participate on a daily I don't see the harm. It already feels like your events and meets are to largely spaced out due to the choir of having to come to this forum page and hope that members login to read about the meets. That means you have to place meets to far in the future that people have the time to see it and respond.
 
Meaningful information?
I don't know about you but I don't always do things for meaningful and practicality, what ever happened to fun? It kind of feels like you want to push a high society organization by not being open minded to the 16 year old who just traded his honda for his first bimmer. Why yes this members i very annoying, immature and probably going to be for the next 4-6 years of his life but how is he supposed to learn he isn't suppose to use the red or green coolant in his 15 year old BMW unless we ridicule him and give him the good old meme beat down for trashing his cooling system?
 
Sorry if this turned into a rant but here are some pictures of a functioning LARGE bimmer group in Georgia.
 
you may draw your opinions from these and roast my post if you so feel. No feelings will be hurt lol
 

Spotted at Concours BMW yesterday

Going to visit this turd after work

Went to a car show up in St. Paul, MN yesterday and met two people walking around in WI Bimmers shirts haha,
 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I should be there with a couple other aokshop cars!

Here are some better pictures of the rust on the firewall.


There is two rust hole in the floor pans of the car. One being right where your heel would be in front of the gas pedal and the other being right next to a plug in the floor on the passenger side.
 
And I picked up some e36 front struts yesterday. I got them in and test fitted one of the rs's.

Just alittle something to hold me over till snow falls and the real work begins.

Over the weekend some people went up by Joel(Jody, Mr. DIV, etc.) and we cut oout the DIV stickers and put the trophies together.

If you didn't already know this is this years design on the shirts and stickers. The normal shield stickers, midwest stickers and DIV stickers are available as well. In other words make sure you bring a little spending money. 
And also pre-reg cars be there between 1pm and 2pm. We will not be letting non pre-reg cars in at this time! Non pre-reg cars will start coming in at 2pm.

I'll be the big funny looking white dude with the sleeves cut off his staff shirt, come introduce yourselves if you see me wandering about.

I am so pumped for this show!

so i got some pictures. 

this is the e46 at dubs in the valley this past year

this is the e30 i just picked up 

and these are going to be going on the e30
