I finally got my OEM BMW windshield installed. It has been in my basement for 4+ years. New gasket and black center trim.

I tried to do it myself and hit a brick wall. Mark the Glass Man came to my house and finished it off and filled in a stone chip on the wagon.

What was the issue? Also I never noticed until now that you have an M3 antenna on your car.

10 to 1 odds he couldnt get the locking strip to lock into the channel. its really a pain in the ass, even with the correct tool.

This! I did not have the right tool. Holy hell it was a pain! If I used the original gasket it would have been a lot easier.

Previous owner did an antenna delete and popped the M3 one on. Love the look!

Nice, I like it too! I always was a fan of the Fuba style antennas

Oil and filter change!

Put some miles on today. Hopefully will have 1 or 2 more days of fun until it goes away until winter.

Did you set the miles to zero on the cluster?

@e30dad on Instagram did the cluster and zeroed out the milage. The odometer does stick sometimes so the milage isn't 100% correct. Probably should be around 4k.

When I took apart mine to do the garages I wanted to set the miles to zero very badly to reflect the new engine and my time with the car. But it seemed like it was more work than it was worth.
