Calypso is the best BMW color ever made.

Hey Laura

Don't know if you're still looking, but this could be worth a road trip for - a complete tan leather interior down in Tampa for $200. (looks to be re-covered, but no rips/tears).

F34R wanted more pictures of updates, so here's while I was replacing my brake pads and rotors...

Due to school and work I haven't really had the time or money to do anything major to the car. Been doing basic maintenance mostly. My boyfriend and I did drive her all the way to Indianapolis and back over the 4th of July with no issues whatsoever :)

I've had a leak in the back seat for a while now. Some drainage problem I need to find. Whenever it rains heavily I get small lakes in the rear floorboard. I'm afraid it's going to mold the underside of my carpet or something, as it's already a little stained from where water has just sat. I took the seats and console out and pulled up enough of the carpet to try to figure out where the leak is coming from and this is what it looks like:

Apparently someone has already tried to seal up the drain plugs... I'm not sure if the issue is because those are sealed up and it isn't draining in the first place, or if the leak is somewhere else. I've left the seats out all week so I can keep an eye on it since it was supposed to be rainy but so far I haven't found the problem. In the meantime I'm debating whether or not it's worth it to just take the carpet out to prevent rust (there isn't any yet thank god) and the carpet from getting moldy. I'd almost rather just not have to deal with it.

I have some ST lowering springs on the way, thanks F34R for showing me that thread! They should be here sometime within the next week. I picked up some e90 drop hats yesterday.

Also! my top is fixed. It used to be power- the previous owner told my dad he had converted it to a manual.. when really all that had happened is a motor died or something and he started lowering it manually. So it never latched correctly and I was having to ziptie the cover down when the top was down until I had all the parts to convert it. Thanks Art (Aptyp) for helping get all the parts together and helping fix it!
