    The squeaky noise from the starter when I start it in the morning, the dings on the car, the leather missing on my leather shift know, the curb rash on my front passenger Brand new 17" wheel (stupid me), the Oil leak (can't figure out where it comes from), the noise in my steering wheel when I turn (could it be the ball bearing?) and many more, still working on them but seems like an endless project, lol

            E30 pet peeves: (in general, not mine)

            User fault:
            Cracked dashboards
            Ricer wheels
            Fiberglass body kits
            Funky smells
            Comfort seats

            Factory fault:
            Metal sunroofs
            Poor quality locks (necessitating the common "trunk lock mod")
            Timing belt (6 cyl only)
            Small diff bushing (4 cyl only)

            Not bad, I will say...

            I am far too embarrassed to go into detail the faults my cars have... plus it would take forever

                  Nicks and small scratches on the car :(. The headlight rings don't look nice since they're probably 16 years old. My engine has cosmoline on it. Stock speakers infront arn't very loud, my rear stock outpowers them.

                    slits in the drivers and back seat, a temperature gauge that requires a knock on the instrument panel to even move, loud fuel pump, the damn spiral crack in the windshield where a rock hit it the other day :letitout: and a few other things that escape me at the moment.

                      Shit, too much to list!

                      The main thing bugging me right now is my semi ghrenaded tranny. I've got an i tranny ready to go though! Just need to get off my lazy ass and do it.

                          325e - un-fitted rear plastic bumper, audio not tip top, paint not in 100% shape on the passenger (womans) side, very slow, rims need refinishing, needs sway bars, odometer doesnt work......thats about it for now

                          ///M3 - ding on passenger door, outward dings on rear passenger (womans) side 1/4 panel, trunk is a mess, no ducts or fogs yet, no fender liner on drivers front, rear CF wing dull from someone who thought they could color sand, roof paint kind of dull, evo seals detaching in some areas, front bumper needs painting as do the side skirts, interior carpet (not floormats) need replacing, need to tune above 6K RPM, exhaust ONCE AGAIN loose and hanging, need spare tire. I think thats it.

                              Try 3 1/2 years of having two E30s and not being able to drive them.
