I had an excellent time at the picnic Saturday. It was great being to a meet in a BMW again=)

Thanks for the pics Chris

Y

The picnic was awesome! The color difference is so subtle between the two cars, was cool to finally see them next to each other.

E

I also liked to see the differences in the two=) I like Oxford but I like how Island seems to pop more. I also liked seeing wide versus small grilles. I really like the small grilles

This is the gay party bus earl

E

Really enjoying this car as a daily=)

I made the Automotion journey without any issues. I have a slight vibration at higher speeds but I believe it is engine mounts.

My obc flashed on for a good hour during the ride home and reported 31mpg average. As long as I am in that ballpark I am happy. The obc went blank again after that so now I know it is a loose connection somewhere=)

Did you know you can calibrate the obc's mpg accuracy? Lots of cool things can be done on these. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/alpinaboard-com-bmw-alpina-discussion/6767-e34-obc-hidden-functions.html

31 seems way too good for mileage. But maybe I'm just a negative Nancy

E

It seems way too good. I figure that it couldn't have been insanely off and was still at least 27mpg. Anything over 25mpg in that thing and I am happy=)

E

Andys girlfriend Amy got a few rollers on the way to Automotion and this is my favorite

The car might be getting low and some wheels shortly for Scooters......maybe

B

OR

finish your ti

either way.

E

I have the money to finish the Ti but am waiting for some things to be completed so that it can get painted=/

K

Just bust out a 5 pack of menards Sawzall blades and cut your way to hellaflush

E

Not for this car. Lol BC coils will happen if I find wheels

E

I need full aasemblies sir=) I don't just buy wheel parts lol

C

Ahh... Then:

E

Butthole lol

Decided to hold off on suspension and wheels. I will do it once my struts go bad. Right now I would rather sink that $2000 into the compact to be happier with that=)

I have been driving this with no issues and should have some euro parts on their way shortly. Other than that it is due for an oil change=)

E

I did the oil change a few weeks ago with Mobil1 15W50 and a Wix filter. Valve train noise has been cut way down and the car seems to run a lot smoother. I still need to change plugs, the air filter, and find any vacuum leaks but otherwise the car has been solid. It is about 600 miles past the 250,000 mile mark and is still going like a champ=P

My passenger front strut has definitely crapped out and makes noise when I hit large bumps. It doesn't really affect driving at all unless I hit a large bump. That usually caused the car to pull right quick but otherwise nothing major.

I also installed my euro analog clock yesterday. I was sick of my OBC not working and the clock was sent with my seats. It works great. I will put up some pictures later. I also went to install my euro front bumper trim but noticed it is textured and my car has smooth mouldings=/ Oh well. I will sell them and source a smooth set=)

J

15w50 seems a bit heavy for an m50? Glad the car is working out well for you. I am also glad I have another BMW to drive while my main one is torn apart.
