        I didn’t realize I had the wrong one in there. I’m so embarrassed. 😔

          Felt like it was a little late at night to start it up, but at least it’s on the ground and has fluids in it.

                No judgment. I've groundhogged far too many times with my project.

                    I should be able to start the car tonight, but I don't want to take it out for its first shakedown to seat the rings when it's dark out. Does anyone see any issues with me starting it tonight and bleeding the cooling system but not taking it out right away?

                      Yes,  you could be kidnapped and never know how it drives.

                        Started it and bled the cooling system. Sounded great.

                          Drove it to work for the first time for the third time. 😑

                          Also, I’m sure you’re all dying for an update on the playhouse. It’s drywalled, taped, mudded, and painted. Other than staining the floor and interior accessories, it’s pretty much done. Put these adorable solar lights on it. 

                          D739E92D-8040-4E75-BD7D-A50CBF528C4D.jpeg

                          And my shed is almost done! Wrapping these up is a huge relief.

                            Impressive! Me and wood do not get along.

                            Playhouse doesn’t appear to meet required egress codes as the grass could obstruct the door in the event of a fire. Also  Wis. Stat. M20.b25(e)(30) states that “No external structure shall take precedence over completion of any existing E30 builds, and something something about culverts.. or culvers...”

                             I’ll give it a B+

                              Condor tall knob. Felt it fit the time period of the car better than the ZHP knob. I love it. 

                              2C1E2C15-9DC6-4EB4-98C8-9C2159B65C9B.jpeg

                              And the shed and playhouse are done (other than putting stuff in it for her to play with). It is such a relief to be done.

                                I like the look of those knobs, but they can be kind of pricey.

                                I do need to change up my current one though. I tried my Nardi on and it felt so sloppy because the knob is so light.

                                I am debating getting one of those IRP short shifter centering shifting deals as @suspenceful's feels like an bolt action shifter. Granted, these can be very pricey. But for how much you use it, I feel it's worth the price.

                                  $114 for a shift knob is more than I wanted to pay, but I was willing to pay a little more something that worked well and that fit the era of the car. 

                                  I would say the extra height gives it a little more “slop”, but I haven’t had an issue with missing a gear.

                                        An e30 in a sea of minivans and SUVs. Took the girls to Bookworm Garden in Sheboygan. Excellent day for a drive in the bimmer. And both kids fell asleep in it on the way home - which I always consider an accomplishment.

                                          I know it always fees like an accomplishment when I have my kids in the BMW and am running errands. Makes the car’s existence feel more legitimate and justifiable
