Believe it or not, the coding changes shouldn't be that bad. Bimmergeeks protool can change the vehicle order and then appropriately code every subsequent module to match.

I'm stoked to see this car getting the love it deserves! I like this.

That's definitely understandable... good luck with the sale and don't let anyone beat you up on the price, its a super nice car and worth your asking price all day in my opinion. Especially with those seats and wheels.

Its possible my work network was blocking it, sorry for the fake news

Nice driving!! You car sounds fantastic, did the solid lifter conversion eliminate any post-run ticking? E36 video isn't working for me unfortunately.

That upholstery work looks fantastic!! Also, is it just the lighting or are those purple BBS center caps??

That's awesome that you found it! Glad to see its in more-or-less one piece. Its a bummer that they smoked in it, but I've found that a good interior clean and a pass or two with an ozone machine works wonders on getting the smell out and keeping it out. My brother bought an XJ Cherokee that had been lightly smoked in and after running the ozone machine in it the smell has never come back, even on a hot day.

I was watching this video and all the sudden a very recognizable e36 made an appearance at ~20 seconds in!

A very convenient coincidence! They should play quite nicely together. Picnic 2045 or bust! Thanks! I've always thought one of these ESS TS2 kits would be my ideal setup if I could ever find one. After staring at the ad and contemplating for like a week I figured how often would one actually pop up locally in good shape for a good price. I'm excited to dig into it!

Things I've done to the car since my last update... nothing! While I've enjoyed having a running car that I can drive any time I want, there's been some issues needing addressing and I've started to plan to improve a number of things. One thing I've noticed is that the pressures in the intake manifold were constantly negative and I don't have time for all that negativity. In a random late night marketplace search I came across this lovely chunk of positivity for a pretty good deal... It'll be a while until I dig in and start fitting this as I want to finish my garage improvements first but it should make for a pretty fun project later this year(s).

Not to derail, but skylines are cool. R32?

Its not exactly the same but my wife's car is an R60 Countryman S All4 and it's actually been a great car so far, its surprisingly fun. It would be even better with a stick too. The N18's aren't perfect and can have a lot of the same issues as the N14, but from my understanding they are much less of a ticking time bomb.

Reserve not met at 17k, I think that's more than fair given the driver fender being trashed. The seller is going to have a hell of a time trying to get more than that in the current market in my opinion.
