Two bucket list cars in a day.
Do not grab the door piston on the Senna when trying to close the door from the inside. Almost broke my fingers off. In my defense it was dark and my first time closing the door and the bright green piston looked like a handle.

I’ve had a couple Siennas. Wasn’t a fan of maroon. The black/Nickelodeon slime green is a better color scheme

Haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been having my fun modding the ZHP the past few months. Brand new alcantara steering wheel/new ZHP knob/alcantara wrapped pillars (since oem black was peeling)/acs type 2/bc coilovers/etc etc!

Please alert the Appleton folk if this is going to be in the area again next year.

Did you guys know that @patsbimmer1 is a Bear's fan? He also thinks Soldier Field is a better looking stadium than Lambeau.
Can't believe I work with this guy.

Thats fucking disgusting. Kick him out

Here is the e30 vs e46 rear caliper. 32mm vs 40mm piston 

Go the tires mounted, took a look at the fender difference here, the passenger side has been rolled/pulled and the drivers side has not been rolled yet.

Any pictures that don't look like they're from a craigslist ad?

@patsbimmer1 “Mike, are you driving right now?”
“No, I’m in the passenger seat. Riding around in the rolls. Eric’s driving”
@patsbimmer1 “Bockhaus?”

”Sup Pat”
@patsbimmer1 “Eric, what the fuck? I expect a full write up on WIBIMMERS” 😂

One of these is not like the other.
Great shots.

Good news! Insurance payout came late last week, Not Totaled! They didn't even put up a fight after I denied their initial value and took my word on the current values, so glad this didn't turn into a nightmare battle like I've read about for others. The current auction price insanity on anything old and manual sure helps.
All the parts new were available from BMW to repair this, the fender was the only part that needed to come over from Germany but I still hunted around for used parts. It didnt make too much sense to just paint a new door/fender when the whole car needs paint. Car-Part was a joke and prices were premium as well. LKQ pick and pull has a great CURRENT website for listing inventory so I scoured that around the country. There were at least 2 black E34's and several other colors as well among the Los Angeles area yards so I took the gamble on the parts I wanted being there.
Luckily a side job gave me the opportunity to drive a 2020 F350 out west. I ended up going to 3 different LA LKQ yards and pulled the front doors off one and a fender off another, all perfectly rust free in Schwartz II. The fender does have a good dent towards the nose but paint isn't cracked and should be PDR'd easily. Bought a driver's door too since the door stay was ripped out when the car was bought. $150 total for all the parts was crazy cheap.

Gonna wait to install these come spring as it's cold and I still have remodeling projects to tend too. I also want to rust proof each fender while off and clean things up.

Maybe FI should offer drop shipping on them.
