<![CDATA[My new 528IAT]]>Well I bit the bullet and got a new car to me. I have been working on this for the last few months and was able to pull it off. He did not want to sell right away and I needed funds. I bought it off a board member (TCD) and am very happy to say the least. 

After all was said and done it was too dark to take decent pics. Here are a few that I took when I first thought about getting it.

I have had an E36, 1995 325i and this is totally more cool. I was looking at mini vans but this fit the bill perfect. It has 4 like new snow tires on it and 4 like new summer tires that come with it. 

More pictures to come.

I did that on my e46 key, my buttons were smashed into the key and all kinds of sticky. New buttons FTW! If only my key battery would charge in my ignition... battery dies every few weeks.

I will look at my Bentley some time this weekend to see how the power is distributed to the key charger. They can't be that much different in that respect.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261201404201

I found a good write up on bimmerforums on how to do it. 

I cut the fake led end off and had to trim the top button to clear the chip in the key. The battery does not need to be removed so I did not have to re-initialize the key. I am happy how the buttons turned out. The lock button would not work with the old worn buttons. When I do my other key I will post a few more pics on what I did.

What is the cheapest scan tool that works with the ABS for this car. I would like to be able to program driver options as well.

There are not too many options to program if I remember correctly.

PO of my car had the alarm chirp disabled, DRLs turned off and I think that's it. He works at a local BMW Dealership so it was nothing for him to get done.

Inpa (another one I can't remember) are supposed to be highly configurable and free to download I believe.

I haven't got around to doing it myself honestly.

:D

No plans other than to clean up some of the rust an keep it running. I have to focus more on getting my 535 running. I have not worked on it much lately and am regretting it.

It's going to be a whole new learning curve for me in respect to working on this beast. I am going to get a Bentley on it's way in a week or so. This manual is 2 volumes. Lots of good reading there  :)

I guess they call them sport wagons when made. I still will call it a "touring"

No that's an e34

Congrats! You're going to love having a wagon!

I love it already!

The last wagon I had was a 1978 Plymouth Volare.

post-3341-0-64890100-1423544778thumb.jp

I loved that car,  225 slant six (much like the BMW inline 6, strong and had some torque)

I am going sport one of these cruising around tomorrow :)

I am not sure. I will ask him when I see him next. Engine bay is sweet clean and I have a pile of paperwork to go through yet (1 inch thick). When Todd bought it, he replaced the rear sub frame bushings and brakes all the way around (calipers,rotors and pads and other things). Very solid car and I am happy :)
