Dremel them. Or put them in the oven until the glue gets soft. Around 250 degrees at 10 mins should make it pliable

Just be careful if you do the oven with all of the internal parts. You don't want to melt anything

Quad Exhaust

How did you do the quad exhaust?

Did you cut it out and just at an extra set of tips or did you buy a whole new bumper with dual cut outs?

Car looks great, will be taking some of your ideas and putting them to use on my car

I cut it all myself. Traced the left side out and mirrored it to the right. Then it's just piping to the left side to get everything in form.

Trust me they didn't touch it or else I would've had them on the ground lol

I've had the common problems. Water pump and thermo, valve cover gasket, lifters ticking.

I bought my e90 in Aug 2012 with 40k on the clock. I've put about 40k on it annually so far.
