Fuel lines backwards is an easy mistake! Is your oil pressure sender wired to the cluster light? If I'm remembering correctly, the factory oil switch closes above 7psi so the light should go out fairly...

The iX booster and master cylinder is now installed. I chose to use the spacer/bracket so the clevis rod did not need to be modified and the pedal position would not change or require a compromise....

Your E92 booster install turned out well and looks like it fits properly. I have an iX booster/master which I plan to run with the spacer/bracket. There seems to be lots of folks who made this work...

Another good data point - thanks. I have a stainless E36 clutch line for test fitting - it is slightly longer than the stock E30 line with a hard fitting at the end featuring a slight bend. I think...

I believe the fuel rail is from the earliest E39 528i up to 09/1997 build. Part number is 13531436468. Very expensive new but used ones are out there...I finally found one at a yard that was willing...

I've been following your build and we are on similar paths for sure....I'm about to get into some of the same fun you are having with fitting the booster, engine and auxiliaries. I have a feeling some...

Thanks for the feedback. I believe the E36 328i is the same as the Z3 2.8 but I will double check just to see if there is another option.

I like your idea for the new thread. Yes - amazing in a sarcastic way.

It was everything from the typical asking about something clearly stated in the listing to very specific needs such...

Wow - nice work on the rust repair, your results are fantastic! Thanks for posting details. I will be using your pics as a reference when I start the repair of my battery tray. Luckily mine is only...

Congrats! Selling a car on BaT is an interesting experience, your car should do well. Some of the questions I received through the "contact seller" function were just amazing.

Ha - no, no - that is a well used fuel filler gasket I found in my parts stash. I just cleaned it up a bit prior to install...the rubber is pretty stiff and it is torn in the lower area around the filler...

Made some more progress this weekend.


Finished assembling the rear subframe - just need the new mounting bushings to show up and it will be ready to install.

The fuel tank was dented badly on each side from sloppy placement of floor jacks and lift arms...sigh. I had good luck with a Spectra radiator on my E21 so I decided to try one of their fuel tanks -...

Continued progress...

Rear wheel house and rocker repairs are done. After the seam sealer dried, I sprayed several areas with 3M stoneguard, then finished that off with 2k satin black paint....

Nice score on the steering wheel!

Even if you can't take one of your cars, The Vintage is a great event to attend and soak in all the sights and sounds. I need to make a return trip....

Making good progress! Bummer about the welder.

Awesome that you will be able to transfer all the lines over to the iX and that head looks really clean - that parts car is turning out to...
