Back with a Tech

[m3f_egebhardt]

You mean the 'Member Journals' section at the bottom of that list.

[m3f_cblock]

Whoops, fixed.

[m3f_cblock]

Just made a large order with ecs. Will have all new cooling, fluids, filters etc. Also picked up a set of regular dsii's, which gives me 4 8.5's. Just need to figure out what to do for a finish since 2 are chrome.

[m3f_cblock]

So I made a thread in the member journals area, but I think I'd rather keep everything consolidated in this thread. Hope that's okay with everyone.



Well we made the trip to MT and had a great time making our way back to Washington.



Stopped to check out the Columbia river, car was filthy at this point.







Got home on Saturday, then I spent all day Sunday detailing the car. It cleaned up amazingly well, I was extremely happy.











Drove it to work for a couple weeks and just enjoyed it before tearing it down. Did a couple small little things like fixing my cupholders, got a coin tray, and replaced the blown 2.5" speakers in the door panel.











Then parts finally started arriving...here are a few of them. To anyone with a wife or live-in girlfriend, do they just roll their eyes at you when you seemingly get a package in the mail every day? Mine's a pretty good sport about it







This weekend I finally got it up in the air and tore into it.







Out with the old...Here is my little buddy Momo helping me out.







That's it for now....should have some more updates soon, and parts

Thank you!

Awesome. Sedans rule.

Thanks! Never planned on having two of them, but I'm happy to have them



I posted a couple better pictures of the 328i in the OP if anyone is interested in that car.

Amazed there was a low mile TV sedan in MT. Congrats on that find.



Looks like a very clean starting point. Will be watching your progress.

Hey thank you! It was really random finding this car in Great Falls, the original owners brought it up from California in 2009 and basically just parked it.



I bet M3's are really a rare siting in Whitefish!

[m3f_egebhardt]

Looks great!!

How did the chrome DS2's turn silver?

Thank you! The tires are newer on the chrome DSII's so I plasti dipped them silver to get by (I was embarrassed even driving around on the chrome ones)until I get to the point where it makes sense to buy wheels and tires, money is better spent elsewhere right now...I know, I know.



I hope you are right about them being worth some money to somebody



I have a regular set of DSII's sitting in my garage though, when I get to that point I'll try to pick up another set to go 8.5 squared, or just sell everything and get something else. I like LTW5's alot...dunno

[m3f_andreialta]

LTW's will really set the car off for sure!

[m3f_cblock]

Hi guys, minor updates today Work is really busy this time of year so I'm moving kind of slow.



I replaced the two 2.5 driver's in the doors, sounds much better. Also both tweeter mounts were cracked so I sourced a couple of those and replaced them as well.



Looks pretty hammered.









Radiator is all ready to be dropped in.







And got my new nosepanel painted and ready to put on.







I'm going to knock a couple more projects out before dropping the car back down. I'm waiting on power steering lines and new transmission mounts.



And since all of my pictures are horrible here is a nice one Monkifoto took of my other car this past weekend (sorry, non-M content )







That's all for now!

[m3f_M_Parallel]

Very nice car. So clean example do still exist!


Chrome wheels have to go though. Never understood why Americans love chrome wheels so much. Leav that to the Denelli's and stuff.


I have to comment on one thing though. "...Techno on Schwarts..." I love it when Americans try to write some German, but then totally got it wrong. No offense or anything, just a little humor.


I have no clue where this originated from, but I see this writen a lot like that and with that I mean with a "T" included.


The German for black is "Schwarz".

/\ haha, it's all good, I have a hard enough time with my native English OP updated.
