I was replacing the thermostat when I realized the clutch fan blades and clutch were shot. There was a crack in the shroud but not all the way through so I left it. I replaced the broken fan with a new fan clutch and fan that I had and it was fine until this happened:
You just can't have anything nice. I think what happened was that the shroud gave way where that crack is allowing the fan blades to interfere. Now I removed it and need to figure out a nice way to wire up the a/c fan to a temp switch of some sort.

I went to replace the post cat o2 when I discovered the o2 heated circuit power wire was cooked! Must have shorted on the chassis and just cooked itself.
I followed it up all the way to the rats nest in the harness on the firewall!
It was cooked like this all the way up to the little power wire junction crimp in the wire trough.
I cut a nice long o2 sensor off of one of my other spare wire harnesses. It worked out pretty well so far. All in all it didn't really take that long and It wasn't really that hard. You just need a multimeter to find the wires because they cannot be removed from the rubber passage that brings the wires from under the intake up to the firewall trough.

I just got to finish up installing the other rear bushing, entire front end kit, vanos oil line, oil filter housing gasket and that should be good to go! I have more parts than time! ( I have all of the parts for this car, I just have a lack of friends that are motivated!) This thing runs really well. Anyway. If anyone one here wants this baby to help me pay off the M3, $2100 is a steal for this car considering that I personally went through it! I am very thorough and OCD when it comes to my cars!

Damn, 2100, thats a steal all things considered

Just fixed stereo wiring, some dumb kid must have run a speaker wire for each speaker. Bypassing the OEM amp like a dumbass. Now its back to awesome. Also I have finished the passenger rear trailing arm bushing and upper shock bushing. I Replaced the valve cover gasket last weekend and this weekend I did the vanos oil line and the oil filter housing bracket gasket.

Nice work and thanks for documenting. Which M3 are you getting?
