For Gods Sake Michigan

What diff are you running with your M30? I have a 3.73 LSD currently but I'm thinking I might want to go with a little longer gearing... possibly a 3.25 if I can find one

The car has a 4:10 in it right now, but I've got a 3:73 I'll be running. I may build up another subframe/TA setup and go with a 3:64 or 3:46 later on

After having M Sport bumpers laying around for 2 years, I finally got some color on them and got them on the car. If the weather breaks I'm ready got a GTG where ever.

So I did the Twilight Tour road rally yesterday and all I broke was the glove box. So today I pulled out the super glue did a beefy rebuild replacing all the sheet metal screws and speed nuts that come loose with real nuts, bolts, and lock washers. I'm fairly sure those speed nuts are why all the glove boxes like to break. Wish I got photos of the mud covered car and the rebuild, but I did get photos of some other stuff.

Finally found the root cause of my blinker issues.


So I'm in the market for some new connectors with tails if anyone has.

I also found this thing chilling in the engine bay all by its lonesome.



Anyone know what it is?

Are those custom wheels, kessler?

[AsharC]

Those are Style 19's. they share the same barrels and etc as Style 5s. Just different faces.

Anyone know what it is?

My car ('87 325is) Has the same connector, and I have no idea what it's supposed to plug in to.

Are those custom wheels, kessler?

They're staggered which is the only thing really weird about them as they didn't really come staggered in the U.S. They came off of an individual E39. I was able to wash the car yesterday since the weather gave us a little break.

What are the specs? 17x8 front and 17x9 rear?

Your car looks phenomenal!

[Nsquared97]

I've honestly never been a fan of those wheels, but they look great on your car. And good choice in rubber too ;)

I've never been a huge fan of style 19's either... Picked them up on a great deal and was going to resell them, but since they were staggered and somewhat fit the looks of the car I've kept them. Love the tires!

So, I'm doing some wrenching this morning outside in my driveway and it starts snowing.

WTF Michigan make up your mind for christ's sake.
