    i know the feels, except my trunk lock kinda works. i have both a brand new driver door and passenger door lock cylinder, factory VIN-matched from germany that i picked up from BMW SF a couple of years ago. they're still in the packaging though as I'm waiting to install them after the car comes back from body & paint. pretty cheap from the dealer if you have a hook-up at one.

      My 3.0L is almost done and every day I see my old broken oil fill cap on the valve cover I just hate it. I could just get a new oe one, but even though I know it's kinda stupid I want to get something cooler. Anybody know of any aftermarket ones that look good? All I can find is the stupid cheap ones on ebay.

          I'd be down for a set, just not sure when I can get away to go to Monterey to pick them up.

                  Hi all,

                  I'm getting through my s52 swap and need to adapt the a/c lines over to the s52 compressor fittings. Besides Zionsville, is there anyone else who sells these lines? I went to a local hose shop and was quoted about the same as Zionsville. Any shops in the SF Bay Area that anyone can recommend?

                  TIA!

                      Sean, this was years ago but I had some custom lines made at a hose shop in Vallejo. It wasn’t cheap but it was easily the best option.

                        springs and shocks are easy. you ready to become a DIY'er? for less than what you're going to pay a shop you could get a floor jack, stands, a metric set. go rent a spring compressor from o'reilly for the fronts, and get new shock bushings front and rear if you haven't already.

                            There's a shop in Pacheco/Martinez I've used. They make a/c and other lines. Not cheap, but high quality and the owner used to be in the auto parts business so he knows his stuff. If you go there I can recommend a killer taco place nearby :)

                                Go to source tubes and hoses in Pacheco. It cost me about $135 for both hoses. Just cut the rubber sections to the right length and mark how each one needs to be clocked and then bring the hoses to him. Ask him to put heat shielding on the one next to the header.
