Did an oil change and found chips. At the least the magnetic drain plug is working. So much for the upcoming track season...

Super cool color. What shop in NC is doing the work? I worked in a body/paint shop for years so I know the shops around my area couldn't paint a kid's tricycle properly.
Vintage Restoration in Troutman, NC. They are a full fledged resto/custom shop, do zero insurance work, have dedicated zones for all the different types of work they do (engine room, chassis room, metal fab, paint, body, final assembly, etc.). Everything is sectioned off by doors so the work in one zone doesn't impede another. For example, so the body shop doesn't get dust elsewhere. It is always amazingly clean everywhere you look. They have a lot of turn of the century machinery - huge lathes and the like. When I stepped into their shop for the first time, I knew I was in the right place. Super happy with these guys, clearly. They are craftsman in every sense of the word.
BMWs aren't really their thing, but they've enjoyed the work. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys. This sign hanging in the middle of the shop says it all.
Crap, not sure why these are loading sideways!!

Lol! Tricycles are tough to paint with their 3 wheels and weird symmetry.

Nice paint job!

Temporary solution for now is to upload them via an external image host like imgur. Never used to rotate them though so somethings changed there.
What's weird is that only vertical hi-res photos seem to rotate. The landscape oriented ones do just fine.Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue

Throttle body cleaning and installing new Norma 50-70 12mm worm gear clamps on the intake boots to keep that boost in check.
