Installed new wheels, mounted new tires, and had it all aligned.

Had all the dings removed from both Maytag and Vlad. The real patient was the 911, but while the guy was at my home I figured... he took out about 20 dings across 3 cars for $600.

patched it on the side of the road... Heater control valve exploded, the collar where the heater hose mounts shattered... Luckily there was about a 1/4" left and was able to get a clamp on it, walked to the store and got 2 gallons of distilled water and nursed it home. Fun little adventure. The tool kit sure came in handy, thanks bmw!

You don't have a Bird of Paradise plant along your driveway that eats small birds either.

...but at least we see where the wheels went - right inside of the new Michelins. And that VIN tag on the dash clearly says "DC93."

Do we get to see more of what the dents are coming out of, or are you going to make me go all the way to Eye Candy?




(omigod - I just went to Eye Candy. Those coupe pictures are stunning!)

The clues are merciless, and homeboy's last e28 went to Atlanta if I'm not mistaken.

Installed new coolant bottle/cap, coolant temp sensor, coolant flush and picked up more parts from the dealer. Oh, also pressure washed the engine bay, looks like it only has 250k miles on it now.
