^^ That looks great
I also gave the X a good wash today. And vac. It cleans up so so, nothing like that.
I vaccumed the center storage area, and the vacuum quickly sucked in the fan speed toggle rocker button [ - * + ] that has been loose from prior owner. Now it's gone for good.
So now I have max AC, or near low fan speed. I couldn't push the buttons with a screwdriver, not sure what I can use to push them. I made a post about this button somewhere before, but think I just have to buy a whole climate control unit.
There is a growing weird little hesitation around 2700 rpm in 4th gear up a hill. It's not the plugs or anything. I think I will do the vanos seal rebuild and see if that helps. Otherwise I've just been driving it and keeping oil in it. It does burn a ton of oil. But almost 15k trouble free miles. The UUC clutch and flywheel kit has been excellent, I would buy another disc for sure.
My e36 reshell project is going well, I'm thinking I might just try to reshell the e53 also, v.s. all the body and paint work. I am going to start looking for a clean southern owned shell, doesn't matter any of the contents, no rust / no body work is all.
