I think it is on Bimmerforums (or similar). There's highlights on here but that's all I've found in the past.
-
This was an awesome build back when it was completed. Great to hear the new owner will sort it (again).
-
Same place on a Touring (although I've not had cause to change it).
-
Fingers crossed.

Flushed the coolant on the Mercedes 190E... Then found I have a electrical 'leak' somewhere as the otherwise brand new Bosch battery was as flat as a very flat thing. No idea at the moment if a light was left on, or if it is a bad earth somewhere. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Use your cars - don't leave them int he garage getting dusty!

Sooo close... I have a chip for a M20B20... <sigh>

Valeo. I've read in several places that they're good. There's a thread here: https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=958649

@qube has rims and tyres for sale... I've not looked at the posts because I suspect I'd want to buy them! And I don't need more rims. No... No, I don't.
-
I don't debate the 'built not bought' thing. Each to their own... But today I saw someone saying they'd drive to meet anyone who could help them change their wheels.
-
Just some garage tidying. And got the 190E running for the first time in far too long. Started 2nd turn... But needs the cooling system flushing. And had a visit from a very nice gent from darn sarf, with his 330Ci.

The 3.0 H6 Outback is a great car. Massively overpriced when compared with a Legacy wagon, though.

Let me see... Changed engine oil and filter on car 1. Removed LED tail lights and replaced with stock 10W bulbs - fixes 'Check' 'Brake Lights' issue. Fixed high level brake light. Replaced fuel filter to see if it sorts sluggish acceleration - not tested yet, but all sorts of yuck came out of the filter. Changed engine oil and filter on car 2. Fixed ABS / Speed sensor issue on same car. (Actually - I'm not sure how I fixed this. It was there, I jacked it up, and now it's gone. ) Changed engine oil and filter on car 3. Tomorrow I see if Repco in Hamilton still have an oil disposal bin...

E36 Suspension. Which route to take!?
gjm replied to Arborguy's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Ours does, too. I'm a fan. Of both the Str.Ts, and the Yellows. I prefer them to Bilstein B8s. -
Brand new WoF, months of rego, near new tyres, excellent interior, running faultlessly. Driving so well I'm actually questioning the sanity of selling... C'mon. Someone must need a reliable and cheap runaround!
-
Pull it apart, or (a la E46) remove it completely because it is impossible to sort with the dash in situ?
-
Had the LCA rear bushes replaced, and WoF'd the 318i. See here.
-
Given the ABS and traction control lights are illuminated, is it more likely that the issue is with an ABS sensor on the rear (driven) axle?
-
Not yet... This was the culmination of yesterday's efforts, and almost dark when I finished. And I'm at work today.
-
Changed the wheels on Miss M's 318Ti. And now the ABS and traction control lights shine brightly on the dash. I suppose it proves those bulbs work... I must have knocked an ABS sensor when sorting the wheels, unless anyone can think of anything else that it could be?
-
... And - they've just driven at 277.9mph on a (closed) public road - a 11 mile stretch of interstate in the US was closed for the run(s). That's an average speed - highest officially recorded speed was 284.7mph. That followed an earlier unofficial 291mph... On a public road. 300mph is so close, yet still so far away.
-
He and his team did a great job on the back of our E36.
-
Greenlane Panel Beaters - ask for Raj. Tell him Graham form Counties Health suggested you call.
-
You're right. Nothing to do with a 335i!

Dunedin, baby! OK... Not all that informative but with luck, more news soon.
