What did you do to your E30 today?

Corrected my headlight aim, hung over and didn't feel like bothering with anything else.

I got to drive it one more time. The weather is getting bad so she is going to be locked in the garage for the winter. And I scraped the hell out of my skid plate again. One of my best investments.

This: Finally got my five-speed swap done!
Because common sense, not racecar.

So happy! I can enjoy the 4.10 diff properly now :)

Finally got around to throwing the keyless entry in! Was kind of necessary since only the passenger side lock worked and is on its way out

Some excellent work happening in this thread!

I installed my 6 pack LED license plate bulbs. Also drove the piss out of this morning.

wrapped up the mechanical resto on our 88 IX 5 speed coupe (for now anyway). 6 day marathon assembly session:



Engine top end rebuild

- tank/surface head, new camshaft, 3 angle valve job, seals
- timing belt and water pump
- new coolant and evap hoses
- new cap, rotor, platinum plugs and bmw perf wires
- new starter and reman a/c compressor

Suspension steering & brake rebuild

- new OEM control arms, offset CABs, tie-rods, top hats
- new stabilizer links, bushings
- new H&R sports and billie HDs all around
- new pads, rotors, e-brakes, splash shields (so rusted in rear I couldn't mount ebrakes)
- new PS hoses (not all installed yet)
- PORd strut housings, sway bars
- wheel alignment

Next steps
- wheel bearings
- rear subframe and diff bushings
- camber/toe kit for rear subframe
- camber plates for front (it's barely off-spec now b/c of H&Rs)
- finish r134a A/C conversion (flush, o-rings, leak fixes, drier, expansion valve)

After that start body prep (all parts obtained or on order)
- replace both fenders and doors
- new tail panel, rad support, inner and outer rockers
- plastic bumper swap
