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

Cleaned her up yesterday and going to clay and wax her today.
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.

Just turn the crank twice and the cams should have the "#1 TDC" flats level parallel again. Just giver!!
Done and done. Except for the giver part. Soon though.

So a guy at work just bought a '95 325i sedan, 245k, kinda rusty but mechanically sound and good price. We did a little work on it today, the hood release cable was loose at the left latch so we pulled the bumper and aux fan out so we could pull on the cable and release the hood, it was actually pretty easy. It has a squealing noise caused by not having a pulley on the serpentine idler, yes just the inner race was left.
In place on my engine for reference.
The belt was also missing somewhat large chunks so we replaced that too. Then we removed the top radiator hose to see why it had duct tape wrapped around it... Had an inch long split in it, Who does that???
Then we changed the oil, drain plug was broken and appears to have been used that way for a while with one thread holding it in, some people like to live on the edge. I tapped a file handle into the hollow remains and it spun right out.
Now all it needs is some cleaning and seat recline gears for both front seats. Sorry no pics of the car, I believe the color is Montreal Blue, it has 16" wheels that look similar to the late e36 15" ones? Not sure what they are from.

Was this the one for sale just off of 11?
