E24 is definiately on my wish list. Nice find.

Allright, got a call back from the mechanic.

Bad news: he pulled a chunk of metal about the size of a penny out of the cooling system. Ideas?

Good news: the car does not have catalytic converters, is exempt from needing them at all, and gets much less strict smog gas level limits. I have no idea how all of this is possible, but it is. Hell Yeah.

Part of a thermostat??

Don't know how well they would fit, but how about a set of 17x9 Alpina's?

Do you have some you'd like to give me for my birthday? :D

I'm hunting for a set of Style 32s, actually.

Piece of exploded water pump?

You bought a large P.O.S. my friend. Good luck with it.

I saw the water print they left in one of the pictures, I wear the same shoes and for some odd reason I noticed that and remebered what the print looked like.

Ah. They are good shoes. I think I have bought a pair every year since '04 or so.

If we ever meet, we should rub them together for good luck, or something.

[325ix]

...Yes. Wut?

Well, the wheels fell through. Sadface. They were 17x8.5 Breyton Inspirations, for 300 bucks.

style 5's always look at home on a 6

I'm traveling for work this week. I have a euro valance. I occasionally make it as far south as redding (once a year kind of thing). I'll get you pics/

Pics would be great. Let me know when you're going to redding next, it's a sort-of-doable drive for me.

Oh, also I may have found wheels, but I don't want to say anything until it's a sure thing. Jinxed too many awesome finds that way :(

^^ which front valence? I obviously have the US one, and want a euro one with foglight holes. However, it is lower priority than fixing the car to work correctly.

I am ok on the other bits, though. Heater works, oilpan is intact, coil is the same as on later M30-powered cars (and M20s).

Here is how you identify the ratio on the sideloader. I have an extra on a shelf that I could sell if you need a different ratio. I'll check what mine is.

BTW I have a coil, oilpan, heater fan/motor, front valance, power steering box fs for your car
