Milo is more excited than me!!
Loving the tone!  Quiet but sporty!  This thing hauls ass! No pun intended. 

No,  we will just "arrive and drive" 

You do have to "register" which you can do online ahead of time to save having to do it when you get there

Not really, I already have at least 2 spares somewhere in the garage. ...I guess for the right price I could add another to the pile haha. 

Funny, my company will also be there on the 24th for our holiday party. Maybe I'll get a practice session in with you all. 

I'll order the parts when I'm given money, then for the standard rebuild probably a weekend to disassemble/clean and a weekend to assemble. My work schedule might throw a wrench in things here and there but I should be able to get it back to you fairly quickly.

Sounds good, let me know when you're ready. Absolutely, I set the rolling torque for the pinion and the carrier bearings.

The prices seem just right to me.  Diff service is never cheap but with those prices I wouldn't hesitate to make a move on getting diff stuff done. Mine is good for now but when it comes time for rebuild I know who to check with. the price of an accurate indicator and stands is enough to not setup the lash myself.

Really cool 1998 M3 convertible and M roadster dealership poster, large 35x24.5" on thick 3/16" poster board. Near perfect condition, a few scratches that you can't notice until you're 6in from it. $100 obo.


 
 

Very excited to be a part of this WI based BMW community. Thought I'd share a little about my car and some of the recent work. Its no garage queen but I like to keep it in good shape 

Details:
Year - 2001 Mileage - just rolled over 100k Exterior - Carbon Black Interior - 2 tone black and grey Origin - Colorado = no rust!!: Modifications when purchased: Tubi Style Exhaust; ipod integration Since acquiring the car about a year ago I've been doing some preemptive & required maintenance and modifications. Luckily Kelly Moss is right around the corner and they have a BMW master tech so anything I cant do in the driveway gets taken to them. 
Suspension refresh - control arms, integral links, bushings PSS9 coilovers - stock struts were starting to go out. Wanted to make this a weekend backroads beast with occasional autoXing mixed in. More to come on these. E60 shift lever + F10 Shift knob - love the shorter throws while still maintaining a stock look and feel Upgraded steel sway bar brackets - lets see how long they last. E39 M5 are known to rip the stock ones apart Camshaft sensor replacement - If you have done this before you know how much this sucks. Spent ~10 hours for 4 sensors since BMW puts them between the engine and firewall behind a metal bracket.  VANOS solenoid refresh
  This summer was a little testing due to all of the above maintenance but I fell back in love with the car on weekend drives

Next up:
Get the PSS9s adjusted to provide a better ride Shark Injector Euro tune Minor cosmetic things OEM wheels - Anyone have Style 65 wheels for sale?

The last couple weekends have been somewhat productive. 
The engine bay welding is complete and body filler is mostly done. Just got to sand a couple more spaces and lay down a little bit more filler. 



 
I also picked up an s54 oil filter housing from @TehRaydarlover. I bolted it to the block to take measurements for the power steering pump spacers.

Sitting in a hotel not too far from this thing contemplating renting a uhaul lol.

Dang, that's a steal and it doesn't even look that bad. Would be an awesome starting point for a build 

Took the M5 out for it's first real shake down after work today, everything appears to be functioning as it should! I followed this guy for a while but never got the chance to assert the fact that 5 is more than 3 lol. ...I feel like I should know who this is haha.

I've got this sitting around if you want to grab it ...

This is when you find the oil pump driveshaft sitting on the workbench

I'll check my supply and see if I have one that matches.

That's not a typical bmw wheel lock. I've got a set of wheel lock removal sockets if you need them.

Forgot to message you. We'll see, I want to make sure engine doesn't explode before I say I'll work on someone else's lol. I like to think I know what I'm doing, there are a bunch of nuclear and fossil power plants running at 100% because of my wrenching/engineering, but this is my first time dealing with anything with more than 1 cam haha.

Miata done yet?
