  1. 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!
  2. I assume all those cars on the poster were / are yours?
  3. Welcome! looks like a clean and fun project!
  4. I did, I was super confused as it wasn’t BMW related and thought it was a gift from someone else🤣 (the shirt not the puppy) Thanks Santa Pat!
  5. Same here. More like secret new years at this point. Sorry my secret receivers.
  6. You will have to leave it to him @ADDvanced to share the info. I think its cooler than the Bavaria IMO.
  7. The only input I can provide is that I have driven both platforms, but not combined. LOL From what the internet says it seems like a pretty straightforward swap. GL!
  8. I know he got a windshield and some other parts, but I think he's been distracted with his jaguar recently.
  9. I've used an Ozium Single-Shot Fogger and another brand that I cant find online. Having access to a ozone machine is 100X better idea though!
  10. Curious on how this works out. Ive always used an ozone bomb for a car that was really bad.
  11. Oh VERY Doubtful. I think Ron Perry has way more than 4, but still cool to see. Those are apparently all fresh imports which is even more impressive IMO.
  12. Sorry about the title, but cool color combo and spec for $4k Cheap E39 540/6 ($3k) RHD E36 BMW 320i $8k 4 euro spec e9s (some of us have too much money) X35D thats far but cheap! $4k
  13. Not a bad price for a cool Roundie 2002! Im a weirdo and really want these LOL
  14. Well it sure seems like you are!
  15. Im curious if anyone on here has used it or has it. I am not familiar with it and I am trying to become familiar as it seems like a go to program for newer BMWs.
  16. What are your thoughts on this? https://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/new-bmw-concept-touring-coupe-glorious-z4-based-breadvan I personally found the proportions to be a bit odd, but styling wise it actually looks pretty good IMO. Discuss..

  18. I did some cleaning and organizing and decided I need to sell some of the wheels and tires I am hoarding. I have a set (x4) Hankook Ventus Z214 radial Tires 225/50zr16 SIZE UTQG MAX. LOAD MAX. INFLATION PRESSURE TREAD DEPTH TIRE WEIGHT RIM WIDTH RANGE MEAS. RIM WIDTH SECT. WIDTH TREAD WIDTH OVERALL DIAM. REVS. PER MILE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN* 225/50ZR16 SL Race/Track, C51 Medium 40 C A 1,389 lbs 44 psi 4/32" 22 lbs 6-8" 7" 9.1" 8.3" 24.8" 838 KR New these retail for $191.77 each -I am asking $40 FOR ALL OF THEM- yes, thats $10 a tire TIRERACK: The Ventus Z214 radial is Hankook's Racetrack & Autocross Only racing tire developed for drivers who participate in autocross, time attack and road racing competition, as well as for track-day drivers seeking race-slick like grip in dry and damp conditions. The Ventus Z214 is designed to blend dry traction, cornering power and steering response to inspire driver confidence and quick times. While Ventus Z214 radials meet DOT requirements, they are not appropriate for highway use. Ventus Z214 radials are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. And like all Racetrack & Autocross Only tires, Ventus Z214 radials are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It's also essential these tires be stored indoors at temperatures maintained above 32 degrees F. Most sizes of the Ventus Z214 are available in two high-grip tread compounds, with the C51/Medium compound focused on track use and the C71/Soft compound tuned for autocross competition. Each tire's tread compound is identified by a colored sticker and is permanently branded on its sidewall. Note: The 275/35ZR18 size is also available in a C91/Very Soft compound. Ventus Z214 radials feature a symmetrically designed semi-slick tread with 4/32" of beginning tread depth that's only interrupted by two circumferential grooves to reduce squirm, undesirable heat buildup and eliminate the need for tread shaving. Heat cycling is recommended to enhance consistency and wear. Ventus Z214 tires feature directional rotation arrows branded onto their sidewalls to identify correct mounting rotation that will enhance tread splice integrity and durability. Following the rotation arrows, the use of a symmetric tread design allows Ventus Z214 tires to be mounted on either side of the car (and later be remounted inside out to further extend their life). The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a spirally wrapped nylon cord on top of a three-ply nylon cord casing.
  19. Saw that Blipshift has BMW shirts this weekend, figured it was worth sharing. https://www.blipshift.com/
  20. So.... I acquired this car last year after it exchanged hands about 4-6 times before landing on my doorstep. The poor fella was in desperate need of TLC and an owner that would actually take the time to sort out his quirks. I dont know if I'm that owner, but I am certainly going to try to be (for now). And although I dont really have the room for him in my stable, I took him in with open arms. With that said, the car also didnt have a title when I got it. The story is that it went to auction, and the highest bidder left it on the lot abandon and a towing company removed it and took over possession of the car. Here is where it was sold and jumped around title-less for a few years until yesterday that is, when I finally made the journey back through all of the previous owners to find out what I just explained. The towing company gave me all the necessary paperwork and after a simple trip to the DMV, I now legally own another car. About the car itself. Its a 1984 633CSI E24 5 speed coupe. The car is fairly rare from what I have researched. Only 1173 manuals were sold here in america, and of that, the color combination is almost none existent. Alpine white exterior with Cherry red AKA"Ox Blood" interior. Pair that with the Zender kit and it seems like a pretty cool car. UNLESS you have to work on it. So basically I am starting this thread more to help myself document the process of getting it running again and returning it into a nice factory condition. First day I saw it: First day home:
