My 1988 e30 325ix - Garage'd

Little update. I replaced the "city light" in these euro blinkers. They are tiny bulbs and super bright led has them for light .40 a pair so I grabbed three colors. I got white, purple (blacklight) and amber. Decided on the white, although it looks blue in the picture. I also colored the orange bulbs for the blinkers to be silver. Below it's off, on and blinker.

When are you going to install the passenger side seat

I'm unsure. It's on my list, but since it would serve me no real purpose I keep putting it off.

Better picture of the fog light plates after being heated and fit a little better than how they arrived. Excited to paint them white and paint the bumper too. Soon.

I got a few things done this weekend. I got some fog light block off plates. The pictures are of when I first put them on. Since then I did go in with a heat gun and them to fit much more flash with the valence.

I also decided it was time to refresh the injectors o rings. I had been driving home with my daughter and every once in a while I would smell fuel vapor. So I took them out and they were in pretty stiff condition. Some of the upper seals we're cracked so I replaced those too. Then I added an extra o ring on the injector just to create a seal that doesnt allow grime into the little hole at all. All in all, successful day I'd say.

This car is one of 56 IXs for 1988 and it's still being driven thru the winter?

Driven hard through the winter. It did take a break at the peak of the season though. Saved it from some salt exposure.

You put paint on the bare mating surface of the wheel and rotor right?

Negative. That's a good idea though cause one day later it already started to oxidate again.

Interesting, totally unique I like it.

Thanks man! I appreciate that.

I decided to put some vinyl on my wagon's grill to get rid of the chrome (I'm not a big fan). I didn't want to do black though, so I went with a metallic silver vinyl.

What do you think?

Nicely done.. 120 grit? Less?

I actually used this grinding wheel. I think it's made from a really strong silicone or something.

Recently I was reading through a thread and saw that BMW has a procedure to put on a wheel that involved using a silicone grinding wheel to clean that mating surface. My wheels have been vibrating and when I read this it made sense. I decided to take a look. Mine were pretty terrible! It solved my issue, until I knocked off a balancing weight and now I have a slight vibration, but I can tell the old issue has been resolved. See the pictures of terror!
