You sure did! Very nice. I need to do a full detail on both the X5's after seeing those shots. MMmmmm and that 330i I found a 6spd 330i here local... it's cheap... must resist urge...

Today I finished up the trans service on the E70. New sleeve went in like butter. Trans took the better part of 8 liters of fluid to fill to spec @ 104f (40C). I guess that's because it had been draining for a month. Oh well, at least I know I got a lot of new fluid in there. Will reset the trans adaptations when I get it back on the ground.

Taking a little break to type this and then I'm going to put the plastic belly pan back up over the trans and work on the headlights some more. Or maybe I'll play some computer games with the wife? Decisions, decisions.

Mounted a set of DWS

Fixed my tire machine first, damn hoses under the turn table keep bursting. Then mounted a set of DWS on 20" Rials that I picked up cheap at a hubcap place in PA. These are for the Cayenne for the summer.

These Rials are exactly the same model as the 20"s I got for my E70 some years back. Except that the BMW version I have has a CB 76 which makes me believe they are really for a Camaro or the like.

I see you are running style 74's on one of your X's. My X had those from the factory according to the build sheet. PO must have changed them, which is a shame. I really, really like those and you don't often see them. Hard to find decent used too. I'm looking!

Tell me about it. I need to stay off craigslist! I’ve been looking at boats that I don’t need right now!
