The only card which I have found when ordered.

Slowly working on resurrecting my AC. Saved the best part for last.

When you finish...

Replaced the leaking fuel hose between the filter and tank. I think it was original.

Did about six hours worth of driving in the 87 535i down to southern WV and back. Visited with some of the in-laws with the wife and baby. Mixed interstate driving at 80-ish and twisty mountain roads. Even with the worn-out front suspension and shocks it was a fun drive.

Some of my fondest RTT memories
are from those "twisty mountain roads".

Finally fixed my squeaky steering wheel and throttle pedal

Went to the Boone last weekend and on the way back the e28 started idling high between 1k and 1.5k. Went through it yesterday, cleaning the throttle body, icv, and intake and adjusting the throttle and tps. Started it up and it was still idling high. This morning I went with a multimeter and tested the tps and icv and cleaned and readjusted everything. Drove it and it started idling between 2k and 2.5k. I then borrowed an icv from my mechanic and ruled that out. Then, after searching on here again, I figured out it was the Coolant temperature sensor so now that is unplugged until I can get a new one.

I put the new registration sticker on the plates. And tie up cat back and replace a blown fuse 5. Then I fooled with the main relay to get the car started. #2 son was using it to move a friend.

Drove it. Had some Asian man driving an e3 with chrome 'sports limousine' decals on the side give me a thumbs up in his white cotton gloves.

This past weekend.

Oil change upon return from Vintage-Ashville. At 2200 miles, Oil consumption 1/2 Pint. Oil usage before cylinder head refresh was 1-qt/1800 mi.

24 MPG Highway, AC 50-% of the time.

Finally changed my front sway bar links to new Meyle HD. I have been living with an annoying screech whenever I turn the wheels at low speed for about a year and a half. I changed nearly all my front suspension components over a year ago and although the handling improved the noise remained. I finally took the time to actually diagnose the noise about a week ago and found that although the original 30 year old links were intact the joints were semi frozen. I tried spraying PB blast inside small holes I made in the boots but to no avail so I ordered new links.

I wish I had done this sooner. The sweet sound of silence.

Took it out of its misery.

You also just made a grown man cry

I tried pawning the whole thing off and couldn't.

Fear not though, at least five other e28s will go on to live as a result of a maniac with a sawzal.

Worthy. A good death.

Some warrior is driving that one on the Autobahns of Valhalla.

This is the best post ever

Installed Wiechers-Sport bars. Front and rear.

I put a new TPS on the M5 this morning. Wow.

I continued to neglect it.

How do they feel? Put new rotors and pads in and they look so much better through the rims than the old rusty shit that was in there before. Still braking them in so no real word on performance just yet (see what I did there)

Metallic; like painted steel.

Too bad they're not selling the polished ones anymore. The red looks nice though.

Agreed.

Walked past it in the garage, remembered it was there, cast a longing glance and kept walking.

What I didn't do to my E28 this weekend: install used injectors ordered from a forum member.

Will wait for 1 more week before bitching openly to the forum about seller, but at this point I don't have a good feeling. I've sent 2 PM's to seller asking about receipt of my postal money order and asking about status of injectors, with no response. PM's were read, and seller has been posting on the forum in the meantime. Will send one more PM this week. Saturday, 11 June will be exactly 4 weeks since I mailed this guy a $50 money order.

ETA: At least I got to go fishing this weekend. That's always a good thing.
ETA: I got 'em after a gentle reminder. Thank You.

The last 528e, Marina's former driver, has always been a bit doggy. Its history showed a period of little use for 13 yrs. The wasted battery box backs up the sitting too. I much preferred the refreshed B6II to it and its factory original parts. old and tired parts . The Car has 155k and 29 yrs on its struts. When I refreshed the front brakes this spring, I noticed that the spring perches are turning to dust. #2 Son borrowed the car. It stalled in the driveway and wouldn't start without spinning a few fuses and R+Ring the Main and fuel pump relays And , Lo! It lit. You gotta phone> Yah. OK. watch the pot holes.

Unlike earlier 528es of mine. This sucker is/ was factory. Parts being together for 29 yrs dont like coming apart. R+Ring front end parts was a PITA. Did they use blue loctite or something when assembling ?
I have several pieces parts to choose from in my parts stash. Is there a simple process to test a set of "corners" ? Or shall I keep winging it as I usually do.

I drove the eta to the Detroit GP yesterday, but Simon took my grid spot, so I drove home.
