DrLeadFoot Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Angel eyes. Got these for $20 and I hope they are the yellow style and not the bright white led ones. I fell in love with the angel eyes on my buddy's dad's 2001 e39 m5 that we used to drive around in high school. Now which car do I put them on? 325ix or the m3?

patsbimmer1 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 They've gotta go on the M3 if they're yellow! The TMS cars look bad ass at night with the yellow lights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_love_cars Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 i'm excited for this car to be sorted. I'm hoping to see you at the E30 picnic or the next C&C so we can catch up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Has this car ever had any rear subframe tearout/cracking issues? The whole trunk ripped out and the diff was flexing all iver the place. Got it fixed and reinforced with turners weld in plates years ago. She should be bullet proof...

DrLeadFoot Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 SMG is giving me some trouble. Also, chasing a vacuum leak somewhere as I'm getting a 174 error code. Replaced SMG relay with two different new ones. Problem still exists. Once car gets hot, stop and go traffic/non-freeway driving, it slips into neutral and won't go back into gear. Getting a low pressure code from the SMG. Thinking the pump can't keep up when it is warm. My luck is seriously bad. I've been doing a good job on the good karma angle to life and still getting $#% * around by these damn bimmers. But when they work, all these headaches are worth it.

Earl Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 So what you are saying is you should have just done a manual swap? =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had many instances where I have thought of getting out of the car-hobby all together from frustration of working on things and dwelling too much about the mountain of receipts that would exist if I didnt immediately throw them away. When its back together and im driving, all is well in the world. m42b32, DrLeadFoot and KaiserRolls 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 This has been in my living room for a month... Not driving the M3 much due to the SMG pump loosing pressure (I think), just random beat runs around town which have been a blast. Waiting for time to install the new pump and coil overs.
