YoungCR Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Its the equivalent of daytime running lights essentially. In Germany (not sure about the rest of Europe) if you are parking on the side of the road at night, your marked lights on the side of the vehicle must be on while the vehicle is parked. On the newer BMW's this activated by hitting the turn signal switch after you have shut off the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigjae1976 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Installed a Momo steering wheel. And some ricing...I meant racing stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 My floors no longer leak. Which means they hold water Which also means I still have a leak somewhere After a crazy storm that lasted about 6 hours. I had about an inch of standing water on the floor Maybe I could start a coy pond Or just wear crocs all the time Either way. It's holding me off from finishing the carpets.

B C Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I was going to ask you how the storms were, the radar looked pretty intense up there. Now I know. Id say sunroof or possibly elephant trunk is clogged Twist 90 degrees or so to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Don't have those in my car. But there is still the upper portion they connect to. I'll give it a look after work. Definitely wasn't sunroof or door seals. Nothing was soaked in that region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 ive had a bad passenger weatherstripping ever since I got my car (you can see sunlight through the very top corner of the door from inside) but it doesn't leak.

patsbimmer1 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Sold my 328i today... it was a sad day but I could tell the guy that bought it was truly thrilled after he drove it. mkoepp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoepp Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Sold my 328i today... it was a sad day but I could tell the guy that bought it was truly thrilled after he drove it.Now you have some wiggle room for new projects ? . I only sold one BMW that I owned and that was a 94 325i sedan. I really liked the car but it was TOO small. I always felt cramped. It was great in all other regards and a blast to drive. It was in that car that I received my only speeding ticket in the last 15 years. I remember doing 55 and downshifting and rev matching into third and "Holy Crap" did that thing pull. I do miss it for that reason alone. I have a sweet spot for my E28's. I guess I am getting old but still have some class . patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoepp Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Cleaned her up yesterday and going to clay and wax her today. I ended up staining the picnic table and yard fence instead. I may get to it tonight or early tomorrow. I really need to build it up as I may be driving it this winter . If I can I hope to get a mini van to prevent this but it does not look good as of now.

That's my plan if I ever drive a bimmer in winter again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 was the buyer from Racine? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNope, he ended up living right in Milton. I got a text from him at 8:30 am asking if him and his step brother could come look at it and they were at my house by 11 am and bought it. I did have someone that was going to come look at it on Sunday as well but I do not know where they were from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
