Black & Tan 332iT

Got the car up on the lift today to do control arms and bushings. These things are getting expensive at almost $900! This set appears to have lasted 200k miles and was juuust developing a little outer ball joint play. Since the rest of the car is dialed in, you could feel this in the wheel and it needed fixing. Decided not to wait for the super knuckle to be finished.


Also got to installing a Baris - Carphonics CarPlay retrofit into the folks’ e39 touring. Nice kit, relatively easy installation (of course harder to get to the mic connector in the touring), but the screen resolution still sucks!

Well, I guess we’re getting to the body work portion of this build finally.
These ZHP bumper inserts for the M3 muffler arrived from Ukraine:


And these arrived (and are waiting at George’s shop, along with my carbon roof. Thanks George) also from Eastern Europe:







All told that’s 110lb weight savings and 6% body roll reduction.

Oh My! This wagon is going to be wicked!

Nice build, I wouldn't have used a LCI car. But to each and their own!

[enjoy_m3]

congrats! I'm 1.5 years in. Busy, tiring but great times. I hope you don't reach the same itch as me, for a bigger wagon. lol

Congratulations! Enjoy it as best you can and if you can sleep train early, do it. We didn’t and never slept for 2 years!

Well I've been busy for the past few weeks as my wife and I had our first child! Apologies if you've PMed me and I haven't gotten back to you yet - I will! I'm typing this one handed with a baby in the other arm.

Damn it. Going to miss your projects

Also, you know, congrats and stuff. Used our M3 wagon as a babymobile for several years, and it was great.

In the meantime, a question for you: Big bike or small car?

Congrats!
