GunMetalGrey Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I forgot to order side emblems so I gotta wait on those before throwing the side skirts on, but I did get the bumper back together. Looks much better already! wasnt m3 and Jdesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Things have been amassing near this stationary object, but at least trim is not white? Got the intake stuff back on last night, with new hoses, boots, and a stock airbox. Mucho better. Connected the battery, and even though the low fuel light has been on since I bought it, it coughed right to life. Runs butter smooth! Gotta get some fuel in it before trying to run it again though, cant imagine I'm doing the fuel system any favors. This has been new motivation to get it back on the ground and take it for a little drive to see how the rest feels! jc43089, AsparagusMike, Jdesign and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Made it out! It runs well, drives pretty well, but the speedo, gas gauge, and mpg gauge don't work. Other than that, not bad. It will not start once it has been started, will only crank after you shut it off. Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it solves that issue, but is obviously annoying. Trying a new ECU just out of curiosity. Mike had some K1's that I tossed on for visuals. A bit more work and it will be time to sell Jdesign, Boris3 and P_Roloff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I have a question! If this is a '94 325iS M-technic how come it has 96+ grills on it? I personally think the pre-facelift grills looks better and will be period correct. Im not bashing you, just something I noticed and wanted to ask/ bring to your attention if you haven't noticed. The wheels look great, Its a shame the originals are so hard to find. Your starting issue sounds like a bad relay. HipMF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am both annoyed and glad that someone caught the grilles. I have ordered three sets of grilles, and none of them fit. The last set was ordered by VIN so when they didn't fit I got super confused. A bit of thinking and I realized that the nose piece has been replaced with a late model, therefore the correct grilles to the chassis do not fit. The car is also not in original paint so replacing the nose panel is not really an option at this point. Tempted to see if I can make a template and do a bit of metal cutting to make the proper grilles work in the late model nose piece.
