Obioban's 2005 IR/IR Coupe

[Obioban]

Fits over the m5 and m3's bbk, same rolling diameter as the m5 and m3 rears (so won't fuck up the LSD), fits on the hubs of all three cars (with a hub centric ring on the e91 and e46). Pulled a BMW trunk jack and wrench out of my dad's car last year before he traded it in. Going to throw it in the trunk whenever going on a long trip in whatever car we're going in.

Surprisingly excited

Today's update...

Was hunting for a proper length 32mm socket for the chain tensioner, and stumbled upon this at pep boys. Seemed more specific than my general use assembly lube I was going to use, so I got it.



Removed some cams







Moved the cam position sensor thing over. That thing is on there TIGHT!



Lubed up and reinstalled the cams. Also used the APR/TT cam bolts, even though they're probably completely unnecessary.

Cams time

Got most of the disassembly done, hoping to get her back together tomorrow night.

Saw this today as I drove past BMW of South Hampton, and had to pull in...

Over the winter I traded RG63's with another member for anthracite. I'm so very pleased with how it goes with the IR-- very much more what I imagined when I ordered the hyper black than I ended up getting!
