    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

                  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.

                                  Done and done. Except for the giver part. Soon though.

                                      Fabbed some exhaust for an e92 before work today. Turned out nice, not too loud but more turbo noise. Just Thrush glass packs with the stock tips. Crap quality video to come.
