    Now the e30 has to get out of the garage so the E46 can go under the knife.

            Glad I'm getting into this thing. There is new engineering in here but it all is similar to an e30. Love that.

            I'll pull the trans out with the motor. The gear selector seal has a little leak.

              Might as well do the manual conversion while you're in there...

                  I keep telling my wife that she couldn't possibly look any better but driving a BMW definitely wouldn't hurt and girls who drive BMW's get nicer things.  She's almost drank the Kool-aid except her sights are set on an X5, a Cayenne or a Volvo XC90.

                      Ditto. The interiors are great on the new X5's too but $$$. Get her a used X5 35d, those are tanks.

                          Got the motor loose and almost out. This getting dark at 5:30 isn't helping anything.

                          Need a second set of hands if anyone is bored the next couple of days.

                                      A caliper is not for measuring journals. Machinist rant over.

                                      I wish I was working in my car rather than drywalling.
