Thread: What have you done for your E24 lately?

Just wanted to provide an update on my buffalo hide. After going through a complete rejuvination with great results from the Leatherique products, I noticed that after about a 4-5 weeks of non-care, I could see irregularities in the hides appearance. I'm guessing the hide is again slowly drying out, even when in protective quarters. It looks like its going to be an ongoing fight to keep my ints in great condition. I treated the front...

In preparation For Shark Fest & just maint., adjust valves, replace tires, dist cap & rotor, plugs (WR9LS), Oil & filter, used stainless exhaust, 02 sensor, 1 motor mount, low beams & other items, have to check my records. Installed BavAuto lowering springs, but I'll be going back to stock. I just don't care for also lowering my oil pan with the springs.

It's December, and in Kentucky, that means, cold. With the old m30, start ups can be a dangerous thing to try in below freezing temps. My cars stay outside and it gets bitter cold every once a while. My power steering pump has been boo-hooing a lot, and as a reflection of what type of car I drive, I can't have just any crybaby. I don't get pissed and I dont get sorrowed, but what I do do is get embarassed. Also I have a 5 speed...

I prefer mid-day weekend driving when roads are much less busy and its too hot to go anywhere but the beach! My drive is about 15min on the highway and 15 min in the...

I did a basic check-up today as well DJ. Pumped up the tires (including the spare). Checked all the fluids except for the gearbox. Ill be swapping fluid out for that probably pretty soon. I think the 75w90 is a bit much. First gear is being a real pain. 2nd hasnt been a real problem yet though. Also gave the car a good wash. Next weekend will be a big one. 3.73LSD, Trailing arm bushes, dog bones, subframe bushes, trans fluid swap. Any good...

Removed the majority of the exterior trim, bumpers and lights. Started sanding through the paint to see where I need to make small repairs... Gotta get everything sorted to plug the side marker holes in the quarter panels and find a good passenger side fender. Still need to finish building a new rear valence too... Once that's all done I'll be shooting sealer and primer! Shipper, got any pictures?

Just pulled and rebuilt the power steering pump on my M6 last weekend. Parts were $54 vs. $350 for a rebuilt pump from Pelican. We'll see how it holds up long term, but so far so good. Jose

That's cool. It's amazing what the right mats can do for the interior vibe. When I replaced my el cheapo universals with correct 6er floormats (with BMW logo), it was like a new car. It really surprised me.

I deleted the rear muffler on my 633 the other day. I had a friend of mine that owns a shop weld up 2 2.5" straight pipes in place of the rear factory muffler (that had a large hole rusted in the inlet side of the muffler). Factory cat and resonator are still in place. It is indeed loud, but I like it. Very raw sounding, drones a bit on the highway in 5th gear between 2100 and 2500 RPM. I'm sure most of you wouldn't like...
