What was the issue? were the connectors mixed up?

Yup, there are 3 connectors, 2 are black, one is grey, I figured the grey one went to the thing that plugs into the intake, but it doesn't, so that was why it didn't fire up. But it fired up yesterday, doing a vinegar clense on the motor with water to get all the build up out, flushing the system a few times, then gunna get it filled with coolant!

I can't wait to devote a good week to sanding, wet sanding and polishing to fixing the fuck ups in these wheels. #yay

[Earl]

It may take the whole weekend to strip the clearcoat off of one wheel:P lol That is some gnarly clearcoat that they used.

[Earl]

Damn thing double posted on me:P

[Brian.]

well, half the clear coat is gone/chipped so it shouldn't take THAT long.

Alot's happened in the last month and a half,  I quit both my jobs at the bank and Waste Management. Moved 100 miles, back home. Broke up with my girlfriend of 2 years. yada yada.

Not alot's happened to the BMW, I cut the rear fenders for more clearance/low. Fronts got shaved and pulled.

Went to DIV (Dubs in the Valley) in Oshkosh Wisconsin, had a BLAST!


I made the stupid comment after shaving and pulling the fronts of, "I hope someone cuts themselves on those fenders. Guess what, it happened, but it was my hand. Cut a ton of nerves, and have a huge dead spot in my hand. OH WELL.

After having the BBS Style 19's for a few months, I finally got unlazy. And took them off.  Was getting sick of seeing the chipped clear coat, and corrosion+ rusty hardware....

These are never going to look perfect again. They got pitted badly. But for what I had in mind, they'd work again.

threw on aircraft stripper, and stood back.

[Brian.]

After letting the air craft stripper fit for about 15 minutes, I removed it, and what laid underneath was like my first experience seeing a playboy magazine as a kid. I was speechless. So much nicer looking underneath that faded and cracked clear coat.

Then  we decided to reverse mount these.

I'm kidding.

This happened though, and I'm okay with this.

Better pictures to come eventually.

Looks good dude!

Thanks Jason! They look super rad in person!
