My dad's is a little beat, some rust here and there, but almost entirely original. It's a blue coupe with the inline 6, 3 speed which is perfect for putting around. My mom hates it though, the previous owner put a nice exhaust on it and my mom hates that she can hear my dad coming around the block. She also always makes fun of it and says the car won't even make it up the local large grade on the highway. My dad always punches back by grabbing the keys and saying, I'll get it warmed up and we can go for a drive. In a way, it helps to keep that nice playful peace at my parents house haha. But yes, back to the 1er. |

Is there a DIY video in the future Jim I still use my R12GS Maintenance video, which is getting difficult, I'm going to have to rip the DVD to a file so I can use it on my laptop next weekend for a servo brake flush!

Glad my video has been useful to you. If you can't manage to rip it, let me know. I have them available as a download now, and will give you the replacement price.

My new Miata was delivered today...the 128i is off to CarLotz on a consignment sale. Certainly didn't see that coming when I bought it 2+ years ago.
You guys are the best...will miss you... |

Put a trans cooler in.
Didn't turn out how I'd planned. I have a thermostat but I didn't like the line routing with the fittings I have. Need to get some 180* ones and I'll give another go at it. For now, it'll work. |

I've had it off before. More than just screws...clips into the rest of the bumper in about 7 or so spots. Wasn't that easy and I almost broke some of them the first time...no thanks. Masking took 5 mins to put on and 30 seconds to take off.

Vacuum extract the oil and change the filter....by the time you have the filter out, cleaned up and replaced you pour the oil back in and done. The LR has a vacuum port under the oil fill cap you hook the extractor up to!!!!

Really not that hard to pull the consul and check. And yes the whole consul needs to come out of the E82. |
