    And some ricing...I meant racing stripes.

        My floors no longer leak.

        Which means they hold water

        Which also means I still have a leak somewhere

        After a crazy storm that lasted about 6 hours. I had about an inch of standing water on the floor

        Maybe I could start a coy pond

        Or just wear crocs all the time

        Either way. It's holding me off from finishing the carpets.

          I was going to ask you how the storms were, the radar looked pretty intense up there. Now I know.

          Id say sunroof or possibly elephant trunk is clogged

          Twist 90 degrees or so to remove

            Don't have those in my car.

            But there is still the upper portion they connect to. I'll give it a look after work.

            Definitely wasn't sunroof or door seals. Nothing was soaked in that region

              ive had a bad passenger weatherstripping ever since I got my car (you can see sunlight through the very top corner of the door from inside) but it doesn't leak. You cant explain that

                      Sold my 328i today... it was a sad day but I could tell the guy that bought it was truly thrilled after he drove it.

                        Now you have some wiggle room for new projects ? :).

                        I only sold one BMW that I owned and that was a 94 325i sedan. I really liked the car but it was TOO small. I always felt cramped. It was great in all other regards and a blast to drive. It was in that car that I received my only speeding ticket in the last 15 years. I remember doing 55 and downshifting and rev matching into third and "Holy Crap" did that thing pull. I do miss it for that reason alone. I have a sweet spot for my E28's. I guess I am getting old but still have some class  :cool: .

                          I ended up staining the picnic table and yard fence instead. I may get to it tonight or early tomorrow. I really need to build it up as I may be driving it this winter :(. 

                          If I can I hope to get a mini van to prevent this but it does not look good as of now.

                            White plasti dip the door bottoms/wheel arches to keep the rust away! That's my plan if I ever drive a bimmer in winter again.

                                  Nope, he ended up living right in Milton.  I got a text from him at 8:30 am asking if him and his step brother could come look at it and they were at my house by 11 am and bought it.  I did have someone that was going to come look at it on Sunday as well but I do not know where they were from.

                                    About to pop the vanos unit on and torque the exhaust cam bolts. Then pray as I manually turn the motor over to check for interference.
