Newb- 325ix is there any Spokanians here?

[nwz0]

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Picked up a ix this week after looking for one for months. Came with a few extra parts, and im not too crazy about the wheels though, but so far im enjoying it. Has a few problems, needs a new cv boot(ordered last night), and both lower ball joints. Also i have a question the ServiceOil light is on even though i have already done a oil/ oil filter change (put 5q in), why would it still be on? Also is there any other members from Spokane here?

'88. Not too shabby.

That "oilservice" light is on because it comes on every 7,500 miles, whether you like it or not. It alternates between that and the "inspection" light. You can look up how to reset it. Real simple. Also, there's a pretty big Spokane calling on nwbmwforums.com. Check 'em out.

Welcome!

or just stick some black electrical tape over it and never have to worry about it again.

Good so see another 88 around, there the hardest to find but in my opinion the best. A helpful tip is do all the cv boots now because if ones bad they all will be shortly.

Good luck and congrats on the car

Thanks, Ill check them out. Ill look it up.

I thought about that it just bothers the crap out of me.

Ill probably do the rest once spring time comes around, i really want to change the timing belt/ water pump/ plugs & wires before it snows. Thanks

Not sure on the build date on yours but make sure it has updated torx head bolts. The stock hex ones stretch and snap ask me how I know

Welcome sir. Hope you are very happy with the new whip.

Did you get only one of the original basketweave wheels?

Currently covering my coolant light. Works so well I sometimes forget why tapping the brakes doesn't turn off the check light.

Yup only one, its a nice white one though. Also have a rack and pinion with a sway bar in the trunk. If anyone whants the rack and pinion its theres, i dont have room to keep them. Im keeping the sway bar and inserts.

Nice to see there is a good e30 community in Spokane. I'll be moving out there in June 2012. Never been to Spokane but I'm definitely excited to get a change from Nebraska.
