I doubt I will do anything to it for a while. I really just need it to be a DD that can tow my M3 on occasion.

At least its not the 2.0

Yea thats why I thought you got it lol, but then I got curious and started to look for explorer stuff myself. The pickings are slim.

That 2.0 has gotta be a dog turd, how much does it weight? 5-6k?

Also, how do you guys feel about some 3.5" exhaust tips? Too rice or quite nice?

too rice for a bmw, unless its functional

So, brad, when is the ethanol conversion slated to happen?

I may just have to ressurect my iPhone 3G for this app. I already have a kiwi wifi...

I've kept my 3gs for like four years now lol. They haven't given me incentive enough to buy a new one.

Also, you got all new studs, nuts, and those damn expensive inconel exhaust to header bolts, right Andy? Its probably for the best, but I'm so tempted to cheap out and just get gaskets.

Oh and eisenmann and remus mufflers come with 3-3.5inch tips. So the functionality is questionable.

Who made these headers? Nvm, I can tell BB headers.

Bimmerbrakes. Could you see the inside welds or something?

Yes, I did. It was probably a massive waste of money. It probably wasn't even necessary to get new gaskets, but I don't really know. It was nice to be able to use new studs and nuts because some of the studs come out of the head and some don't. Sometimes the nut gets stuck to the stud and you would have to take them out.

Does anybody know if the S54 and M54 use the same header studs? I could go scrounge around my garage and attic and compare the extras, but I'd rather ask first

EDIT: nice leggos

If I could cut out those inconel bolts I'd save myself $80, the rest I can handle. I'll probably check to make sure they aren't rusted out or anything and then just buy new gaskets and head studs and bolts.

I have a lego house, rv, sports car, and tractor for hauling sh!t. I like legos.

Lol, I have a race car for modding. Not that i won't touch it in the future but for now its just a dd and tie vehicle.

Lol, I think I've spent enough money for now. If i ever need more power though an e85 build will be in my future. Next will be a full cage and fire supression system, then aero, and then a bbk in that order.

cage the doors so you can go to fiberglass doors.

When I get a full cage I will for sure be getting NASCAR style door bars.

They just look identical to the pair, I sent back. Something is truly strange about BB headers. I saw a members set from a GB, it had no serial numbers on it. And were better made than the ones I received. When I compared my old ebays to BB headers. For 100 bucks the ebays were a better choice. I kinda fvcked up.

He said NASCAR!!!

Well, we'll see how they fit. If it doesn't bolt up or the o2 sensors won't go in, they're going right back and I'm getting ebay. But a lot of people have had success with them.
