I know it’s been pretty quiet around here but just figured I should post an update in case someone needs to get ahold of me. I’ll will still try my best to check the site daily but as usual if somebody needs my attention, pm or preferably text me.
Im starting a coding Bootcamp this week for the next 6months as a beginning to finally transitioning to a new career. 15hrs a week on top of the time suck that is driving a truck is gonna be a lot but the payoff will be worth it. Looking forward to gaining back a better quality of life and to start building some of these dream projects I’ve been accumulating for “some day”.
I’ll be at the badger bimmers door county rally next weekend, that’s the last social event I plan on doing for the year. Didn’t find time to work on the e34’s even this year, but if anyone wants to join I have an open seat in the x5.

Notice a bunch of "beef" popping up in the graffiti on my way downtown a while back. Finally got around to taking a walk to check it out. Near as I can tell, "4AL" put up a bunch of stuff, but it's all been covered up, or otherwise disrespected by the locals. Didn't really see any kind of retaliation, but I may not even know what I'm talking about.
Also discovered this ancient Meter
And whatever this is:

Love the frost shots
loving the mood of your photography.
Thank you, both.
Daylight savings has forced me to walk before work, because it's frigging dark after work. I guess my disposition happens to be better in the morning... It turns out it's easier to take pictures when you don't have a days worth of stress hanging over you.

well its been a few days, sitting at $10.5k now. Really curious where this ends up price wise now that the market has softened. Also lol at the professional dye job comment from the seller. Wonder what happened to the fender as well?

well well well..
Reserve not met at 17k, I think that's more than fair given the driver fender being trashed. The seller is going to have a hell of a time trying to get more than that in the current market in my opinion.

Anyone have experience with Minis? 1st Gen vs 2nd Gen? I've mostly been looking at first guns. Assuming most of the nice ones are on the market because they're due for a timing chain...

I just can't with those interiors.
Lol. My standards are lower than most I guess. I'm not far from turning up at a dealer and driving away in a Chevy Spark at this point. Just need something to get from A to B that isn't going to bore me to death.

I really like smaller cars, and was a fan of the original Italian Job, so was looking forward to when these first came out. I had the chance to drive a first gen that was really fun with go cart like handling and the JCW add-ons, and also did some track ride-alongs in a few. But the reported mechanical issues in each of the generations have always kept me from buying. As I understand it, fixing anything in the engine bay often requires a lot of front-end disassembly just to get access.

Its not exactly the same but my wife's car is an R60 Countryman S All4 and it's actually been a great car so far, its surprisingly fun. It would be even better with a stick too. The N18's aren't perfect and can have a lot of the same issues as the N14, but from my understanding they are much less of a ticking time bomb.

If anyone needs a e34 oil pan, pickup and dipstick tube, let me know. Catch is you have to take the whole car and it's a pile.
Does your wiper arm assembly rattle every time you hit a bump?
I thought your car was a 535i, or have I been huffing too much brakleen lately?
