My X went into the upholstry shop finally this week to get the headline and a,b and c pillars redone. It was all getting pretty ratty. Best $550 I've spent on the car in a while...not counting the new motor, wheels/tires, lift, suspension parts...and all the rest! But man, its nice to spend some money on creature comfort stuff now after getting the new motor sorted out. I bought "new" pillars and plastic bits in black off of ebay, and 5 yards of classic black M3-like headliner material from ASC/BMW Fabrics, who is active on this and BimmerForums. While the liner was out yesterday I went back over to the shop and ran RCA cables front to back on the left and right sides for the future sound system upgrade, part two. The left side of the ceiling doesnt have any existing cabling/wires, but the right side does. Hopefully there isn't a lot of juice running through these thin wires that will put static into my future powered sub in the right trunk cubbie. Other than that, just some sweat, a wire snake and lots of swearing later and I had them run and zip tied up. Original tan: headliner out: New liner and pillars: Makes me really want to do the seats now. I saw some pics of a beautiful E34 restomod that had some very cool cloth inserts in the middle of black leather seats. Got me thinking....Graham at BMW Fabrics has some very cool fabrics available, but I'd need to find something that matches tan as I like the tan leather. Also, I'm going to look for sport seats in good condition. I suspect they are hard to find a a decent price, but I like the thought of sport seats. I would imagine 5 series of the same model years would pop right in?

Nice job!

Did the one in my M3 a few years ago, not that bad of a job

cheap MAF runs as good as OEM, or maybe better???

I received the MAF in the mail this afternoon, and installed it, and ran two start/run cycles, observing g/s at various speeds, then compared test data from both (at idle) with another test taken months ago. Not much difference shown, this early-on, but I felt the new MAF reached higher g/s from 1500rpms-WOT, though I failed to capture the proof on my equipment. It does show higher g/s at idle (though temperature differences may have affected the readings), and for the first time ever, the LTFT's fell by themselves (no action by me) while I watched my Foxwell. Perhaps more run cycles on the road will bring the fuel trims nearer normal? and I won't have to keep searching for vacuum leaks, ad infinitum.

After you have enough informational comparison data, clear emission data. The DME will use long term data and short data to average engine fuel. Starting fresh will be interesting data. Wish I had mine here to give you comparison data. I reset emissions after installing new components. Good luck!

clearing data? the right way vs. my way?

If I'm correct about the new MAF reading more accurately, and not skewing the fuel trims towards lean, then shouldn't the fuel trims get back to near normal after awhile? I found a way to reset the fuel trims to zero, by rapidly/repeatedly unplugging & replugging the MAF connector while the engine's running https://xoutpost.com/1219796-post1.html Should I try that again, or is your method better?
