I'm driving my BMW.  Yay.  Nice to have one again.  Plus, it does 100 mph before you hit the end of a freeway on ramp. ...so I'm told.
 
However, I have a complaint about TJ.  HE SELLS CARS WITH BURNED OUT 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS.  Avoid this seller at all costs.

Mkoepp likes his winter beaters how he likes his women. Big, white, and floating in the middle of Lake Michigan

Great idea, put me down

A mixture of acetone and ATF works very well for loosening bolts, and is cheap.
 
The input seal and the shift rod seal on the trans is easy to do, the output shaft you need to pull the flange off, follow torque specs carefully when reinstalling, it is preloading the output shaft bearing.

BMW is collaborating with Snap on the creation of some new engine electronics. Starting in 2015 the TPS will forever be replaced with the "WOT" switch.

Snap had never seen a computer before buying one to tune his E30. They named MegaSquirt after his reaction to the first data logging session.

If you look at the parts diagram you can see how it should be cut off. Basically it will be flat across the back as you should cut it where it meets the inner fender.
Also I'd like the rear shift plate support off this! I could bring a dremel if you dont have one.

Young family is finally getting all their shitty bmws rolling

On a more serious note: FB groups are good for posting/sharings pics for E-fame...... And that's about it (other then the occasional "I broke this - how do I fix it") - and Coke jokes (how's his highness running that group now-a-days, still think his group is the best thing since sliced bread?).
I think true die-hard enthusiasts will migrate to forums for good searchable info and tech advice, and kids wondering what plastidip to use will continue e-vomiting all over FB.
....or maybe I'm just the automotive equivalent of an old man sitting on his front porch yelling "at them damn kids" to get off his lawn.

Found this to be a very interesting artical, especially the new DINANtronics ecu. And holy shit 675hp and 644ft/lbs of torque!

Welcome aboard....
 

Update: Was testing the wiring for the injector pins just now. Checked continuity between the injector clip pins and chassis ground, got nothing which is good. Then I tested continuity between the injector pins on the MS db37 connector and the injector clips. Db37 pins 34 & 35 tested good against cyl 2 & 4 injector clips. Db37 pin 33 tested good against cyl 1 & 3 injector clips, but db37 pin 32 was a no go. Hhmmm interesting. Took apart the db37 plug and unwrapped the tape around wires and found this for pin 32.

 
That wire for pin 32 popped out of the db37 connector pin, which is why continuity was zero. Getting closer! So now I just need to figure out how to get that wire back in and seated right and see if that fixes my issues.

Dressed up the daily quick.
 

 
And wanted to introduce the new member of the family!
 
 

Snap is Master of the Squirts!!!!!

In case I'm not friends with some of you on FB, here's a video from work last night. Took the taser certification, and holy crap... That baby is a game changer!
 

Plans have changed. I am taking my M30 and 5 speed out of my 533 and running the seta this winter. I figure it will be plug and play since the pedals are in it and the car had a M30. I plan on bringing this car to the party next month

The fenders have Chris's name on them
 

I think we need to organize a caravan for us southerners to drive there

Give the clean drivers fender to Chris!!!!!!

What is the ultimate plan for this car again? M30/M20/5spd/Auto/Cruiser
glad to see progress.  love the E28

Cabin fogged up with smoke from your turbo?

Spotted on I94 East last week.
