First time Autocrossing. It was awesome! I don't know why I hadn't tried it out a long time ago. I am already looking forward to the next event in August.

What is the part number on the boot? What car is it off of? M3?Comment

It goes great with my E34 Leather wrapped brake handle. It is a nice subtle upgrade. I'll try to grab a pic next time I am in the car.
It is an OEM part, I think it originally came on the M3 but not sure. I got lucky, when I ordered it last month it was only $70 looks like it is going for close to $130 most places now.

Had such a blast last month I couldn't wait to get back out there. Video of my best and final lap and a few of my favorite shots from my 2nd Autocross session with BMWCCA-NCAA Autocross at FedEx last weekend.
And a sneak peak of the latest acquisition

Clean run!
That spoiler will look fantastic. Do you plan on painting the center section to match or keeping it black?Comment

Thanks you!
Mike time to go head to head at the event in October!
Plan is to color match the insert Sterling. If it was matte black I would think about rocking like that for a little while, but the shiny black just wont look clean/go with the rest of the car. I have wanted an Mtech I spoiler for a long time and the rubber on this one was too fresh to pass up.Last edited by Zeemz; 08-16-2017, 01:17 PM.Comment

Finally got around to installing my new ZKW fogs. Passenger side was cracked, and the drivers side was really pitted and both were brownish with age.
I never knew you could pop the old ones out from the front and not have to unbolt the whole mount. You can unscrew the 1 screw located behind the lower plug and then pop out the fog light. More details here http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=146311
I have changed fog bulbs before and wish I had known about this. If you don't have a jack or lift, this is much easier than trying to open the fog light blub access while on you back. Took less than 10 minutes to replace both fog lights.
Before:
Old vs. New
After. Looks so much better, even more so in person.

Went to the NCCBMWCCA Solomons' Social event last weekend and had a blast.
A few lined up down by the water
Then headed back to a friend's place I met at the Vintage to hang with some other friends from the Vintage, make a few new ones and more amazing cars.
2 850i manuals, E39 M5, E34 M5, E28 M5, E24 M6, E36 M3, 2002, and a few other e28s
