                updates

                I swapped out the old rubber fuel lines.
                I had to special order the charcoal canister to the metal fuel lines from the dealer and it has not arrived.

                Old lines
                non oem fuel line on the feed for the fuel rail


                where they are mounted directly underneath the brake booster

                remove the lines

                old lines cut the new ones to the same length

                70 dollars worth of fuel lines and one vacuum line from the dealer

                all new bmw hose clamps. You don't want generic ones to chafe and tear your fuel lines:hitler:

                all wrapped up


                I also wanted to replace the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator to the intake manifold.
                It wasn't making a good seal and I hate the way it looks when it just hangs there.

                cut the new one to length

                new vacuum hose and it doesn't hang

                            Went over to the dealership to pick up a special ordered part.

                            Irvine Bmw
                            front row parking
                            yes the car is dirty


                            Hose that goes from the charcoal canister to the metal fuel line that is underneath the brake booster.

                                Dude was this car always serviced at the shop by the jiffy lube, and the Timeout Tavern?

                                If so I think I may have saw it there in the shop afterhours.

                                I remember cruising through there after I bought my E34 like a year and a half ago. I saw it up on the lift and I freaked out when I saw the Alpina wheels...wonder if its the same car that I saw
