S52 finally!

Thanks to finally having boost, my 27 year old dipstick tube O ring failed & blew oil onto the cat scaring the crap out of me with billowing blue smoke. I cleaned it up & replaced the O ring.

So far so good.

This happened today.

I'm blowing oil from the bottom of the dipstick tube & it's hitting the cat & looked like burning oil, scared me before I verified that was what is happening.

I uploaded a quick video.

Boost!

[parkerbink]

Done, very happy.

15.2" = 386.08mm.

It does not feel that big.

[Panici]

Would appreciate a measurement, thank you!

It'd be a big visual improvement over the giant airbag wheel in my E36 M3 (on which the leather is torn).
Just don't want to go up in diameter.

[parkerbink]

Thanks, not sure. I'll measure it. Yes single stage bag that plugged right in, third wheel was the charm. I got in on the Z3 FB group from a guy that got it from England & totaled his car before it came.

[Panici]

Love that steering wheel!
What's the outside diameter on that?

Still has the single-stage airbag?

[parkerbink]

Almost.

Weekend progress, wiring was not fun & caused delays.

[parkerbink]

Waiting for NYE dinner, I mostly did wiring today, ready to install the center console & gauges tomorrow!

[2mAn]

This is going to be quite a different car from what you bought!

[parkerbink]

Focals for the rear are in.

[parkerbink]

Rear plastics are in.

[parkerbink]

Dash is in, I was waiting for bulbs that the entire center console has to be disassembled to r&r that just came so progress will resume.
