    TJ is totally right; that finish does make them look like trailer wheels 😆

    Glad to see this car still kicking around!

    I haven't shared this here, but last year I bought @industrialsized's green e36 from him after it had been sitting for a number of years. Some of the OGs here may remember this car from some WIBimmers gatherings long ago. Took some work to get it running again, but I'm now starting to drive it more often while making improvements and tweaks to match my preferences. Also, as of late I've created a YouTube channel chronicling my garage tinkerings. Just posted a video on the e36 yesterday; check it out:

    Anyone have a 173 DME laying around? Looking to swap out my 153 to pick up better CEL functions and add a chip at the same time.

    Does anyone has a e85/86 Z4 that I could sit in to see if I fit? I’m 6’5” and not skinny so sounds like it’s a coin toss from what I’ve read
     

    Im looking at picking up a Z4M Coupe but really don’t want to fly cross country to find out I don’t fit…

    Thanks, I was actually able to get the injectors unstuck so I no longer need replacements.

    Looking for good condition injectors for a M50. Replacing 17lb green top injectors but I’d consider 19lb or similar as well. 
     

    Thank you!

    Can confirm, the garagistic selector joint is total bullshit. How they decided to release that is beyond me.

    You’ve done a wonderful job with this car. For my taste, it’s nearing non-M3 e30 perfection.

    I have some good routes out that way from some full-day cruises I've done in the past. It's tough to get most people in our WIBimmers group for more than like, 90 minutes of driving. Driftless would be a commitment lol 😂

    I moved to Lake Mills this spring so I’m biased. Driftless to the west, Kettle Moraine to the east… life is good.

    Sounds fun! I would be especially down for a driftless area drive someday.


  • 2011 BMW 535i xDrive Sport Package
    The Full BananaT The Full Banana
    Cars For Sale & Wanted

    I'm selling my daily driver because we just picked up a replacement X3 M40i to serve as our shared daily driver, given that my wife and I both work from home. This car has been really good to me over the past few years I've had it. It absolutely eats up the miles and the N55 + ZF8 package is pretty stellar. 

    B99B299E-7468-4A38-8F48-AF346FC60E2B1105c.jpeg

    It's a 2011 BMW 535i xDrive in Space Grey paint over black leather interior. Most notably, and the reason why I jumped on it when I found it, it's equipped with Sport Package (shadowline trim, 19" wheels, sport seats, sport steering wheel are the highlights for this model year) so it looks a fair bit nicer than a lot of the F10 535's out there. 

    Coming up on 145K miles and I'm the second owner. Before me it was owned by a CFO of a Financial Services firm who maintained it well (I have records of various services in the glovebox such as oil filter housing gasket, trans fluid change, front upper wishbones, etc). I haven't had to do a lot to it in the time I've had it. 

    It sits slightly lowered on H&R sport springs with new OE shocks, struts, mounts. I also replaced one of the front axles after a boot tore and there was occasional clicking from the CV. I have the axle for the other side and it will be included, should it ever need to be changed. 

    As seems to be common on these cars, there is a vibration around 70mph. It's been there since I got the car. In an effort to alleviate it, I put new Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons on, replaced a cracked wheel and replaced a thrust arm while trying to figure out the source of the vibration, but it's still there. At this point, I've effectively chalked it up to a design flaw from BMW, and it really doesn't impact driving. 

    I'm asking $9,850.

    This was an absolute blast and the e30 did wonderfully. Thanks again for letting me drive it--it was a pleasure! 

    Hands down the best automotive enthusiast-related event I've done.
