Replaced burned out license plate bulb. Re-wired boost gauge on A-pillar, now working. Adjusted passenger door so it opens without having to lift it.

you'll need calipers, pads, rotors, hubs and spindles, bimmerworld sells the spindles pretty cheap

Jean. Those look real nice. If they run as good as they look I will need to get me a set. I'm going to do the M42 set and hard wire mine since I would never go back to a OEM coil and would want to hide the bulky wiring harness anyways.

Looking good

Easy enough to make your own harness...You can buy the connectors and pins from BMW-or you can hit a JY or ebay and buy a used harness.... If you like DIY stuff it's a $130 buck or so mod. I did mine for under 30 bucks....

JB racing lightweight flywheel. Kept the stock clutch as I'm not going with any power increase and the weight is similar to the m5 setup. IE rear camber/toe kit installed and re-aligned. Rear alignment is now -2 degrees of camber, and .05 toe in. Total toe of .11degrees. 0 thrust angle.

My rear alignment used to have a huge thrust angle.

Installed front brake ducts and cooling hose back to the calipers. Brake swap and rim/wheel change coming soon.

Took my Black/Violet style 5's off the car (to repair the one that my sister curbed) and put on my other set that I got for the Touring...

Gave him a bath, a wax, and took some phone pics for posterity...







I am seriously thinking that I need to organize a NorCal Ti meet to get some really great pics for the 2011 Calendar...
