Aux fan doesnt work at the moment, so I need to sort that out first. Id like to ditch it, even though I bought a new fan clutch and fan blades :p

Keep it. The engine driven fan moves *WAY* more air than any electric fan ever could.

high chance it is the aux fan relay...cheap fix. It can easily be done by removing the front kidney grill.

finally made it all the way through this. excellent attention to detail. You should ditch that mechanical fan though.

Can you post the ebay link you bought the abs grommets from on here. I have been looking for a some myself.

[jhaurimn]

I was missing the grommet for the front abs sensors/brake wear sensor


Oem is $16 each, so I bought ones off ebay (1" dia, 11/16" inner hole) that fit perfectly. $10 shipped for 6


I bought a bunch of plugs and wires to help refresh my harness near the headlights


Before pic. This was after removing the old harness tape. New plugs were on at this point and bad plug wires replaced.


After. (still need wiring for fogs and windshield washer level sensor)


Figured while I was doing unnecessary things, why not refinish the horns?




Someone parted out the heated washer nozzles from my car. (came on all us m3s) Since you can still buy the harness and nozzles new, I opted to put them back in. (~30 for the harness, ~50 for the two nozzles) I had new washer fluid hose sitting around and bought some clips and a t valve.




And some current pictures from a nice camera for once

I bought the aftermarket door seals sold here - http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=347247

To fix this


Now looks like this. Both seals fit great!


Also got a z3 shifter in now. No bending required, just put the lever in as I got it. Feels muuuuch better. I did replace the white plastic bushing.

ThatOneEuroE30 could really use that unit haha.

[jhaurimn]

Yup, part of a retrofit ac system for euro cars with no ac

[ThatOneEuroE30]

No its ugly. Throw it away i'll pm you an address for the dump ;)

[bradnic]

Wow where did you find one of those? Always thought hey we're part of a retrofit AC kit?
Really don't see them as right / appropriate for an M3

What does it vent from?
Or is it purely cosmetic?

[jhaurimn]

yay or nay (to center console vent thing)
