The official WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR BMW thread.

It was between Cuba city and hazel green. It wasn't a smoking deal after finding all of those problems, nothing really expensive though, it was enthusiast owned at one point in its life, has a strut brace and short throw (z3 maybe?). Also great tires and recent brakes, the po had it for 3 years and sounds like he just changed the oil and gav'er.

I'm pretty sure I saw it parked by the side of the road for sale a few weeks back! It had the sport pkg wheels on it and was avus blue. It looked good from the road... sad to hear it was mistreated.

I'm driving my BMW. Yay. Nice to have one again. Plus, it does 100 mph before you hit the end of a freeway on ramp. ...so I'm told.
However, I have a complaint about TJ. HE SELLS CARS WITH BURNED OUT 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS. Avoid this seller at all costs.

I replaced the batteries in one of my key fobs and re-initialized the key. I can now remotely lock and unlock my car.
I also found if I put the key to my chin, I can lock/unlock my car from 80ish yards away. SICK.

Haha, no I was reading a thread about key reprogramming on bimmerforums and someone mentioned it.
This weekend I'm getting a new brake light switch and a spare LCM from a guy parting out a couple of 540's. Also replacing some burned out bulbs around the car. Thinking about getting the dead pixels fixed in the cluster after the new year.
Also, I'll be cracking open the mystery glove box. Will post pics of contents.

Got the mystery glove box opened. No guns, unfortunately. However, if you need lasik, I know a guy.
Apparently stubborn glove box is common in 5er's of this vintage. I also found out why the car is so clean for having 257k. Must have been a Wisconsin to Illinois commuter car.

Right? I was hoping for at least a .38 special (gun or CD)

TJ and I didn't want to break the glovebox.

It was simple as lifting the lever and pushing up on the glove box. The mechanism is just a little goofy.
