The official WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR BMW thread.
-
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.

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.

Making sure if it ever snows that it is dry and clean. Through the winter in the driveway under wrap. =]
-
I installed an afe cold air intake and shark injector on my dad's E46 330i today. I have no pics to prove this actually happened.
-
I took my car to the car wash last night and blew all the leaves and debris from my engine bay/trunk. I purchased some 0000 grade steel wool to do my windshield and some leather cleaner.
-
Anyone think an ebay hydro ebrake like this is a bad idea? I'm dying without an ebrake.
-
Digging this up cause I don't wanna start a build thread... Per Straight6Pwr's suggestion I replaced the FPR which cleared the engine light and it runs great!
glad that worked! and that parking lot looked like fun - i can't find any parking lots in my area that are empty or remote enough for shenanigans.
