That's why I mentioned LSD, was wondering if someone who have a LSD and driving it in the snowy/icey condition and how they felt when changed from open to lsd in those terrible condition!

Ok, sorry I guess I must have misunderstood. Just wanted you to be aware.

No no I didn't mean to really, but today was such a hectic day, happened t me like 3 times and was going to hit the car behind me couple of time cause there was no grip at all and things were getting just worse!

I sold my '98 318ti today. Served me very well for the past 20 months and enjoyed it a lot. My #2nd '97 look-alike takes its place. Had it detailed and it looks great. Put all the RD goodies I had in storage on so it looks very sharp now, especially with its new Hellrot paint (same as original).

Car is up on jack stands for awhile.
In an attempt to clear my post o2 sensors I'm replacing both of them.
Think after +250,000 miles I've got my monies worth?
Even though the voltages are good, I'm being told to CHANGE THEM! Over and over.

Rotors and parking brakes next, thanks BimmerBum!
Still need to order track pads from Bimmerworld before I replace the rotors.

Then I need to find someone to replace the oil suction tube.

[1996 328ti]

Whoo Hoo.
Replaced both pre O2 sensors this morning and my faults are gone.
Finally able to clear the CEL.

I went to my fav mechanics today to drop off some Christmas cheer for their attentive and reliable service over the past year. While there, I was approached by one of their customers who offered to buy my #2. She walked around the car, sat in it, and made me a cash offer. I was shocked but the offer was too good to pass on and I got a deposit. So now I'm facing being "ti-less" for a while, having sold my two in a couple of days, something I hadn't planned on. I think I'm going thru "sellers remorse"...#2 was really well done. Time to finish the 328iS and make it road-worthy.

Today we replaced the antenna grommet, and replaced the passenger window regulator. It's working well, but it seems to be binding at one particular spot and is a little slower on the way up there. Way down is fine. Is there an adjustment to fix this?

[1996 328ti]

It's binding on something.
Also be sure you are not missing the rubber guide.
They tend to loosen up and end up at the bottom of the door.

[FunElan]

I just replaced the rubber guide. What exactly is there for the window to bind on? Thanks for the reply

[1996 328ti]

It sounds like the window might be a bit askew when you reinstalled it.

[FunElan]

I didn't think there was adjustment to the window? I thought when the regulator was installed, it just went in. The only thing that's slotted is the channel from the regulator to the door, could it be that?
