hunter 408 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 After new rear control arms, spring pads and bump stops this week. I was finally able to complete the installation of my refurbished rear deck and new child seat anchors. Everything went back together so nicely. Only Slight trouble had was with getting the rear deck in with the new brackets in place it needed a bit of extra finessed encouragement part way through sliding it in to place to clear them. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted June 24, 2019 Filled a few more fibreglass holes, sanded filler, opened up a few more holes, which I filled then sanded.... repeat ad nauseum. Now trying to convince my inner perfectionist that this is supposed to be a RACE car, and not a SHOW car and to stop trying to produce an A-Class surface finish out of cheap FRP panels. Need to win this argument soon, for the sake of my sanity! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2429 Report post Posted June 24, 2019 I spent far too much time and money just fixing the previous owners f**kups. Would've been fine if he had been honest about the issues it had that I had to fix. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are the goto BMW for that sort of crowd, RWD manual Japanese cars aren't very cheap anymore so im guessing they start looking at other options.

Always someone going to be offended about something so technically yes but it shouldn't be to anyone on here given its context as factual information. Back on topic - I fitted some OEM fog light blanks, never seen an E39 IRL with them on. They work well with the black trim on PFL bumper to give a cleaner look.

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted June 25, 2019 Get a Ctek or similar, will on demand charge and not destroy the battery Removed all the heinous wood trims from the x5 to get them painted piano black. Will have to do the shifter surround also as that's silver. I don't know why it had the wood in there and the silver sport pack stuff all mixed up. Black is good. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I will grant that use of the term moron is somewhat offensive! All sorts of exemplars of sub-species of humanity are gravitating towards e46 also. In the Venn diagram of e46 (or e36) ownership the e46 (or e36) is not fully enveloped by any one - or all - sub-species of human ownership. Thus, loving an e46 (or e36) does not lump one in amongst all other appreciators of these fine vehicles. Eg just because I run an e46, does not mean I am a drift shredder. A Venn diagram, this morning. Edited June 25, 2019 by Olaf Inserted Venn diagram 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
