My newest car, '89 325is

Haha, I just got them installed.

The low beams work, when I hit the high beams the lows stay on and the driver side high comes on. The passenger side high beam stays off. :(

In other news i've done some boring things to the car. New rear wheel bearing, front hub and half-shaft. Also got some new tires as well. I do have one of these coming in for it though.



As well as a few of these:

It definitely wasn't fun. We ran into a lot of stupid bullshit that extended the job time two fold... But, now that I've done it in a parking lot I'm comfortable doing it anywhere lol

Sweet. I've got you on speed dial for when mine take a poop. :D

here are the links to the video i watched. he shows how to remove and install wheel bearings using no special tools. i did this on my 91 325i and it works. took me awhile to find the right washers to use, and it dented the pvc pipe a little. but it for sure worked. it was pretty awesome when it only costs about 10 bucks for parts total lol. oh yeah you could definetley use this a few times. it just depends on how bad the wheel beearing is stuck in there. but even with the right tool it still can be a pain in the ass to come out.

nice work! i did a rear wheel bearing in my parents driveway on my first e30. made a homeade wheel bearing press with a 4 inch pice of pvc pipe. and yes it sucked ass. having almost no tools back then.

Interesting... I'll have to check out Lowes and see if I can make my own wheel bearing press for cheap. Don't really want to drop $360 on the BMW one or even $100 on the Harbor Freight one if I'm only going to use it a few times...
