I bought my car a few months ago with about 146k miles. It now has about 151k. I've upgraded several items, but there are still several more items to replace before it's "perfect". This is a status thread.
151,200 miles on my 1986 325es.
Problems:
- needs a valve adjustment
- needs a new CSB
- needs new trailing arm bushings
- needs new subframe bushings
- needs to have the bellhouse guibo cover removed
- passenger-side front brake pad is loose
- needs new oil pan gasket and bolt
nice to haves:
- new audio system
- E36 window switches
- Z3 antenna
- 5-lug swap
- new brakes
- hardware V1 radar detector
- 35% tint all around, 60% tint front windshield
fixes since making this post:
10/12/08 - fixed the biggest coolant leak. I need to tighten the coolant drain bolt on the bottom of the radiator and this should be completely gone. a pulley gashed a hose, so I duct taped it to hell. Leakage fixed
10/13/08 - installed new hoses (that were actually too small) and t-nozzle for windshield wiper system. Need to clean the windshield fluid tank and install it back into the engine bay, and this is done
