Is the SEM trim paint a satin or a gloss?

I'm being cheap and wondering if another brand(cheaper) would also work.1990 325is

Also, can use this as guide to remove the cowl vents
To remove wiper arm open the cover on the wiper spindle and remove the nut. The arm will then lift off. Have the wiper arm folded at 90deg angle when pulling off.1991 318is

Well the car is on the road and super happy with the end result. Paint needs a lot of work and interior is in desperate need of cleaning, but overall a great little cruiser. Definitely not as fast as the 335d, but way more fun!!!!
Coding plug is in so that we aren't thinking the motor just blew up...haha
Final tuning
Black door cards and rear seats are in...
Ready for the road...

Indeed a dyno run. Thankfully 1996 and older are safety inspection only in NYS. It's a Dyno Dynamics dyno and reads about 10-15% below a Dynojet. I may attempt a more aggressive tune once the motor is fully broken in, but for now, it's plenty.
Poor video of the last run. Approx 196whp and 193ft/lb
