              Hoping to find a Drivers side front heated tan sport seat for my e39... I've owned the car for damn near 5 years and the heated seat doesn't work.... I've got the cash to buy one now so I'm on the hunt... Damn leather is cold.

                You can't just replace the heating element in the seat?

                      I went to the dealer for fun, part is like 200 bucks or something, and it's directly attached to the cushion. I don't know if it's broken in the back, bottom, or the extendy leg section. BMW does NOT service heated elements for seats, you have to go third party.... and it looks like a SUPER pita to do

                          I painted my front bumper cover, repaired PO's wiring up front (I am finding crap connections all over the car and am repairing them one at a time).

                          This kind of scares me. I am told it is not all that bad....we shall see....

                            Looking good=) I like having a thread like this around. Glad I dug it up from the grave.

                            It is nice to see what things everyone is up to.

                              I cleaned up my valve cover (it used to be blue  :confused: ) and replaced some vacuum lines. I was going to adjust my valves again but they all check out good :cool: . I adjusted my TPS again...it has been giving me problems (3x adjusting). I just got my hands on a replacement but have yet to install it.

                                  Just the upper timing cover and parts of intake. It is a donor motor and PO did not clean anything before install. It looked really cool with a blue valve cover  :huh:

                                      On the E46 I have a bunch of parts that I'm waiting for a weekend day to break 35 degrees in order to instal. So far I have, AKG 95A poly FCABS,

                                      AKG 95A poly RTABS,    AKG 75D poly steering coupler,    UUC blue isolated transmission mounts,  replacement control arms,   my custom Coby Wheel alcantarra steering wheel,  and a 1x1 weave CSL rear diffuser. 

                                      The E36 is getting a whole bunch of AKG 75D poly bushings, the 75D steering coupler, an all aluminum radiator, and Dunlop ZII tires, and possibly reworking the exhaust once again because it is unholy loud still.

                                      This winter just need to friggen end so I can get to work

                                        Let us know how the steering coupler is. I have been thinking about getting one.

                                          Will do, I'm pretty excited to see how it feels! Especially because the factory one is on its way out in both cars.
