Bite the bullet and do it right the first time.

Solids are a little overkill on a daily/non-track car though

Got some new wipers, the old ones were toast, and the blades came off of them when I pulled them off the windshield. Yikes.

Also received a power steering flush kit, that'll be this weekend's project.

I still can't be any happier with the recent plug change, the car drives so good now.

I think this is going to be my next item. Car has started to occasionally get a slight rumble at idle (no RPM move though), which from searching on here I think I've diagnosed as needing new coils/spark plugs. Probably will do some other fluid changes as well.

I'm surprised you do not fall under either....

Anyone who worked on these E82s suffers from bat/owl syndrome, especially the 135 guys, since there is barely any space up front due to turbos (they are always turning their heads haha).

Whiteline RSFBings arrived.

Plan to to lower that subframe really low, may have to remove the exhaust and bottom shock bolts, need to get old M3 bushings out (incorrectly installed) and the sway bar + end links.

Also best time before Christmas for alignment is Monday at 9am, so will do my best to get the M3 front upper and lower arms also installed. May buy some string and get the toe dialed out to 0, make it drivable for a couple of days (no high speed/travelling) till Monday.

Fingers crossed.

I was listening to them in the car a few days ago. Maybe the best N. American band ever.

Trivia question - where did they get the name?

Quote:
With a name taken from a brand of steamroller, Buffalo Springfield formed in Los Angeles in 1966 with Stills (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Dewey Martin (drums, vocals), Bruce Palmer (electric bass), Furay (guitar, vocals), and Young (guitar, harmonica, piano, vocals).
(had to look it up)

(didn't look it up)

Don't know, but I do know that Neil Young looked up to him. And I didn't mean Stills was in Canada, I meant Young came down from Canada to be in a band with Stills.

They were together again in "Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young" for a short time until Neil Young left the group to continue his solo career.

Back to the subject of our beloved 1ers:

I ordered some Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (225/255) from Tire Rack that should be here by Friday.
