S52 finally!

I got a new Dragy & I got a mount.









Ordered a teal mount for the BMW.

Got the car, there was a miscommunication, they didn't install them.




In! it was easy!


Alignment is tough, get the front right & it's too far back, back right too far forward, I compromised.

Normal grill badges are huge for Z3 grills. I hail maried and got some pins, most were too small. This one is ok. I like it but am on the fence.

[parkerbink]

I removed the "badge" The car is 99.9% done, I have an annoying rear suspension noise.

I have looked 5+x can't find anything loose, all bushings were slathered in silicon grease.

I ordered this to localize the noise.

Noise detector came.

1 is at the differential side of the driver lower control arm pivot, 2 at the outside, 3 at the shock. 4 is at the inner side of the pass lower control arm, 5 is at the differential side of the passenger lower control arm.

It's helpful, I thought the bulk was on the passenger side.

I drove the BMW in 110 degrees to the pool store a mile away, temp elevated slightly so I opened the hood & the lever was super hot because the filter for the SC oil landed right under it & while I was there.....

That sound thing looks pretty damn slick. Engine bay isn't half bad either haha

[parkerbink]

I was skeptical, but the darn thing worked. Worth every penny (70)

I love it, life is happening and if I can get my price I'll sell. I can't drive it right now, it's never under 90 and over 120 during the day.

This is now.
