Jeff Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Crank, but no start. No spark. No fuel. This e34 is the least reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I blame Earl. Earl should give you free rides until he fixes it. andyhundley, GunMetalGrey, B C and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I tried to get rid of my thumb today Only 6 stitches, still annoying. Nail stopped the knife fortunately. 3 hours at the clinic because it wouldn't stop bleeding long enough to get it sewn up. This just means I don't have to work on the Miata for a week or so, silver linings I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Anyone else feel spring approaching rather quickly? Applying sealant to my new wheels for my X3. Hopefully this helps to keep them looking nice. Can't wait to get these and the H&R springs on.

straight6pwr Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 those are amazing. what do you seal them with? wasnt m3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm trying out Chemical Guys Jets Seal. It's supposed to work pretty well. Application was super easy with a foam applicator, only took about 15 minutes to do the whole set. I'll polish it off by hand in the morning. I'm sure I won't ever let them get too dirty but this style of wheel is a pain in the ass to clean so anything will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 That is a good choice for the x3=) wasnt m3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I cant imagine how firm an x3 would ride with aftermarket springs 🤜🏼[emoji1348] But im sure it would out-corner an E30 or two andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hopefully not any worse than it already does with the m tech suspension. 19's aren't going to help, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Parts store didn't have a cup the right size to pull my rear wheel bearing, so I made my own. Also learned that you can cut really close to a shoulder with an angle grinder if you cut a helix around the part. B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a scar on the back of my hand from when a bearing chunk got me through a glove. Next time I will try a trick I watched someone do which was to weld on the outer bearing and it shrinks and just falls out. Seemed weird but I watched it and it seemed to work.

I'm torn between Michelin PSS and Hankooks for my new wheels I got Michelin PSS for my 135i and Nankang NS-20 for the 328i. Loved the Pilot Super Sports last year so I got them again. I've had these Nankangs before and they have good reviews. Nice cheap tire for my daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wild guess is a brake cooling duct? you can see some red ducting running from the bumper to that area behind the rotor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
