Spun a wrench on my Z4. Installed new NGK spark plugs at 61,000 miles this morning. Now taking time for a few Warsteiners Valve cover gaskets later today. I did discover that since I put in a aFe intake last week, my fuel economy dropped. I guess I enjoy the sound at 5000 RPM. Myron M. Ft Worth, TX 2005 Z4 2.5L 2003 525i Sport 1992 525iTSC
They are sitting at the shop. Have to take the car in tomorrow or Sat for installation. I hope these last longer than the last set. but I don't have my hopes up... "If you want to play, you have to pay"................
What I'm doing today Well, I might try to get some of the bugs off the front of the roadster. . . I have to swap the wheels off Party B's 335i. She let me take it to instruct at Fontana for the LA chapter (one-day school, well attended), and I wanted to try the Toyo Proxes 1's. Great highway tire, good feel, comfortable, quiet. The do howl a bit when pushed on the track---Active Steering is VERY good at letting you over drive the front tires---but felt sure and confident at about 125 on the banking. However, they do rub on occasional bumps---so it's Gimme Back The Michelinos, Dear!
What I had done to my BMW I had my ind. mechanic Change the Evaporator core, the drier.the exp. valve evap case gasket with new A/C gas and oil. in my 2003 sport wagon. bluewagon
I added a ECS carbon fiber strut bar, Hawk HP Plus pads with Powerslot rotors for my girl. Also gave her a real nice detailing! All of this was to go to our chapters HPDE and flog the poor girl! All that cleaning just to coat it in brake dust.... BLISS!
I finally picked up my new-to-me 2005 330ci ZHP convertible on Thursday! Last night, I installed PA12-BMW iPod interface and programmed the universal garage door. This morning I washed it, and then drove it around all day!
It must be Oil Change Weekend, I just finished work.... As an aside, from the Thanks-But-We-Knew-That Dept., Condition-Based Service is for the birds. This was my second oil change at 7500-mile intervals and the CBS thinks I still have 2200 to go until the first one.
Bought a battery for my E30. I guess after getting a jump start twice to get home and twice to get to work in one week, it was time. What a pleasure too. $114 for the battery and nothing to register. True P n P.
I got the DICE Soundbridge working the the roadster! (Well, Calabrese actually got it working, but I told him how to do it. . . .)
Painted my high beam reflectors with dupli-color metalcast. Now they match my car while keeping the chrome look
Today painted my high beam reflector bowls and....... I started my epic search for an E34 or a 4 door E30
