Mine will be converted when slushbox fails. But for now it's a nice trans, shifts smoothly and crisp was actually surprised how good it was compared to when my E36 M3 was an automatic. That would get lost when you asked for it to downshift for power. Need to start collecting parts now for mine before they get hard to find. Thinking I will grab a whole 335i to part for it, shame BMW did not give cars past E36's with limited slip.

Well because you hijacked my thread you will have to become my supplier from Latvia for E30 stuff lol. Nice 325iT imagine sports in clothe are great since you won't slide on the leather.

I'd love to see it. But to be honest, if my Nav didn't have bluetooth streaming built in, I'd prefer not to have it. That's the only thing I use it for (even though I went ahead and updated the maps to the latest version).

This changed at some point and all the fobs started coming with the coin batteries, I thought it was with the 2007MY, but I'm not certain.

It does not have the three lines on the door handle, I happened to notice it working on Friday at the place I have been doing carpentry work at.





Getting my two open recalls done on Wednesday, three techs at my local dealer have 6mt e91's. Car should be in good hands.

So today I attempted to reset my tpms system per bentley's guidance. https://wiki.bentleypublishers.com/d...itoring+System

I can't access from iDrive or using the above guidlines. Wondering if TPMS is still on each wheel being car has Conti DWS Non-RFT's One should have flashed out TPMS if they basically deleted yes?

If your 2007 is like mine it has the FTM and not TPMS so there is no sensor in each wheel. It uses the ABS sensors to see if you get a flat.

Arg so how does one fix that type of crap. ABS works fine and tires have air so what's happening? Doing some google now.

toying with buying a set of these m270's but think lighter wheels would make car shine.

Picked up a set of style 193 last week. But with cruddy weather heading our way I decided it was best to keep the 17's on so while these were on the car I had my snows transferred to the style 161's. Not happy with a 225 mounted on a 8.5" rim so I'm looking for two 8" 161's.

Wicked nice cars!

I see you're also in Mass, I'm thinking about wheels as well (my snow tires + wheels are a lot nicer looking than my other ones though and will be going on soon), are you getting them locally or online?

I only see the picture from today. Looks great!
I have 270M wheels on mine and love them. I don't like them when it's time to wash them though! That groove behind the spokes is a killer!

Now, E91s are nice, but that E30 M3!!! I was lucky enough to once have an instructor with one, so I got to ride shotgun at a track for a couple of weekends. What a car!

I buy my tires locally at the South Windsor Tire rack and mount them at my buddies place he has mounting and balancing machine. I bring beer and leave him some cash and he's more than willing to allow me access when one of his toy's is not occupying the lift.

Right place right time on both of them. White one has been gone now since 2015.

Last week I had some downtime so I used some free lumber from a garage build we did.





So it was a nice simple job needs some trim work now and drip edges and shingles but fall is rapidly coming to a close here soon in the North East.

Will be redoing the base but for now it works.

You don't need a permit to build a carport?

Lets just say it easier to ask for forgiveness and if they give me flack It's all screwed together so It came come down just as quick minus the shingles. I used to have a large 14x28 shed in that spot so it will not be an issue.
