BMW part# 83190445721

I also hope no cracks had developed from the last time i "checked" the subframe area until now (couple months??)

Who needs that when you can just use "Great Stuff"? It's obviously superior for all applications.

I'm going to rehearse this and do a couple of "dry runs." i think i'll buy some cake batter and fill a soda can or something

I now have heat on my feet!!!!

While pulling my blower motor out and cleaning, I noticed that my fresh air blender was disconnected. Now when I press the controls in the cabin, I now control the air flow and temp! Yeah ME!!!!

Now, back to the garage and with these unseasonably warm temps for the next few days, I'm going to pull my rear brake pads off and lube up the guides. Seems the they are sticking a bit.

Full brake kit coming when I get my IRS refund!!!!

KW V2 Coilovers.

Front and rear strut reinforcement plates.

Turner Motorsports 7.5mm spacers in the front so my vmr's clear the coils.

Had my jammers tested against a PL3. Jam to gun

Also figured out that the knocking/clunking sound from the rear of the car was coming from the big resistor from the LED tail lights.

NightRaider93 · 01-28-2013, 10:01 PM

I'm just glad to have her, although I would love to be able to wash her.

you mean it was loose/banging around or made a sound when unlocking/locking the doors?

And whats a PL3? that sounds kind of cool that you're jamming stuff although i have no idea what it means. maybe it'll come in handy in May

A thumping noise when I go over bumps, etc. It's that big ass resistor for the Eagle Eyes that came loose and was bouncing against the cars frame.

PL3 is Pro Laser 3, a police lidar gun.

Gareth-325CI · 01-29-2013, 05:05 AM

Put pertol in it like every day! still she sure is pretty!

JZambrano7 · 01-29-2013, 08:57 AM

So the radiator hose job cost me 90$. Decent pricing included an oil change.

Sure are and thanks! The H&R race spring set. I don't know how much of a drop it got from them but its definitely noticeable

You more than likely just helped me figure out what my clunk is. Thanks!
