You were right, it was pretty dang good. I definitely ate too much though

I came out to find a grey e92 parked next to me. Anyone here?

Don't use beta link. 40/50# double sided tape and painters tape it for a day!
Just redid my spoiler again because it was lifting. This seemed to fix it.
Going to do my roof spoiler tomorrow and also add some silicone on the glass.


I'm looking for side skirt extensions too!

I'm waiting for the CArly app to support dvd in motion. Really miss that option on my car.
Does anyone local want to code out my seat belts chimes?

Well looks like he is no longer a vendor here as I can't PM him and his thread is closed so I can't view it.

free

all those parts minus the regulator, converter, o2 sensors, plugs and coils have only come up to about $150. Just about everything was BMW OEM new (helps to have a friend at BMW) other than the two coolant hoses which were from german parts saver. The 185's were free from a local and I have yet to have them rebalanced. They do look good on the car tho.

I'd say it's been about 4-5 days worth of work though, but I'm taking my time, first time working on a e46, and also working on my M as well.


gonna prob be around 600-700 in parts when I'm done.. Might have someone swap the Torque converter (saw refurbs on ebay for $250) though. I don't want to get into that mess.

Want to have 4 door to drive around and put miles on. Also be gf's car when I am driving the M.

My breeders are doing great. Let me know when you need some Moss, Hawaiian Moscow Guppies (they're usually $75-100 a trio), and shrimp..
Came back from being out of town to all the tanks so full.


My display tank busted a small leak, so I'm having another made this week

Looking at MFactory LSD, preventative MOSFET replacement, and at least M3 side skirts. I'll leave you hanging for the other projects.

I've never known someone to do as much preventative maintenance as you do.

Anyone else get a pamphlet in the mail from BMW of Sudbury saying to come by this Saturday from 10am to 5pm. They want to buy my e92 for $20k and get me in a 2015 3 series...little weary about that BUT they do have some gifts for you if you attend. I think I read a BMW blanket and a wine set?

Yeah, I got one. They offered me $14k for mine haha. I'm all set. I might show up like last time, get handed a gift, then look back at my car parked all alone and be forced to leave.

Are the gifts worth going? If so I'll go for the nice drive

[willzim]

I received no such offer. #offended. Can I crash the party and still get free stuff?

I didn't really go for the gifts lol. I went to potentially get a test drive of an M3 or something fun, but the drive over was better than waiting. Said hi to my buddy in the Service dept, then left.

I got a BMW umbrella which I can't use, cause you will probably look like a tool. Rather get rained on.

I don't mind looking like a tool. *hint hint*

[MetsFan]

Peabody had one of those a couple of weeks ago. I got a nice BMW tumbler/mug and a BBQ set. I just looked around the showroom for a bit and left. It's so different from other dealerships where you go and you're immediately hounded by a sales guy.

[zero2sixtyZ]

I'll quickly ask to test drive an M3, then tell them I want euro delivery and to go away.

[jor2cool4u]

When they asked what cars I was interested in I put M so let's see if they have any.

Different topic, anyone flush/replace their transmission fluid? Coming up on 100k and heard this fluid is one of the dirtiest after some time. Did you replace with BMW or Redline? How much people charging for this?

Replaced mine with motul @60k

Forgot how much the fluid cost

[SLOWER]

Cost depends on if you replace the pan with the filter or just the fluid.

Redline D4 ATF (6MT) at 75k. No regrets. Smooth shifting. Hope to do the E46M mount and SSK soon.
