			<description><![CDATA[Just got a 88 325e and trying to get everything needed to add a Mtech 2 body kit:

Body kit itself - https://www.garagistic.com/products/e30-mtech-2-complete-body-kit?variant=40405172125795
Bumper Carriers - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/e30-front-and-rear-bumper-carrier/51118100572kt/
Front bumper brackets - https://www.garagistic.com/products/bmw-e30-euro-front-bumper-brackets-318-320-325-51111888122?variant=41496819499107
Rear bumper shock - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/8-shock-absorber/51121971855/

if I'm missing anything, have anything listed above I don't need, or cheaper way to get the Mtech 2 mounted please let me know. As I understand I don't need to update the valance, that 88 comes with diving boards but correct/late model valance for the kit.


thanks for any help]]></description>

			<title>Steering Wheel Wrap</title>

			<description><![CDATA[My steering wheel cover had seen better days.  Looking online I found RedlineGoods based in Wilmington Delaware.  I had purchased a shift boot months ago and decided to try my hand at installing one of their steering wheel covers.  The cover shipped from Poland and took a few weeks, but arrived as scheduled.  When they say they give you MORE than enough thread, they're not kidding.  I think I could have done at least one more steering wheel and maybe two.

First, take a breath and bring your patience.  My first section was a bit rough, but I did get better as I went on.  Their Youtube video is good, but of course those hands had probably done several dozen steering wheels.  If you're cheap like me, go for it.  But it is a fiddly process.

It really does improve the look and driving feel when you have a comfortable grip.]]></description>

			<title>LED Bulb Install Issues</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi There

I just recently acquired an 89 325is. I bought some LED's from Amazon - H1 for low and high beam and H3 for the fogs.

The H3's installed just fine, no issues.

The H1's on the other hand were challenging. I could only get the low beam to work on the passenger side.

The high beams did not work at all.

The low beam on the drivers side didn't work either. I tried 3 different LED bulbs to no avail. I swapped them over to the passenger to confirm they were working.

Installing the old bulbs back in works fine with no issues.

The fuses are good. Not sure if there's a specific brand of LED's I should be purchasing. Appreciate the guidance.

Link below for the bulbs I bought.
