Stupidest thing you have done while working on your E30

I put the bushing on the wrong control arm, yesterday.

Leave mine at 90 for my lugs... Never tested out of spec....

Isn't 90 over torqued?

Definitely put it back to zero.

Ok.

Maybe it's 80? I don't remember off hand


Yeah it's 88 (I run motorpsort race studs)

Lowering the car to find out a jack isnt quite far enough out of the way, leaving its mark on my ix side skirt as it started to buckle.. Oh shit moment

I'm surprised you've been able to use a craftsman torque wrench more than once anyway.

Once I took my hood strut off while working on the wiring after installing my m42. The wind came along and blew the hood down and it slammed against the hood seal. So I put it back up and meant to chock it open. Forgot, got under there working. Wind blew. Hood slammed full force on the back of my brain stem. Caused temporary turrets and cone headedness.

Fixed error, now just need to install.

Worst thing I've done was I changed all my brakes and forgot to tighten my wheel lugs.
Spun out on the freeway, flipped a couple times but I survived. My girlfriends dead though.
Ex girlfriend :)

You win.
I jacked my IX from the front diff, cause I thought I could from owning a jeep. Ripped both engine mounts.

I wasted my time putting a airbagit kit on my e30 325is .....

Hahaha yeah I am. That'd be pretty messed up though.

Stripping almost every bolt and stud on my engine. Lug bolts, rotor nut, valve cover, plugs and more! :)
