Replaced coils and mounts.

I really enjoyed messing with basically sewer water and dirt...

PS. Using a pressure washer beforehand only made it "reconstitute" and may have been a bad choice!

Went back today... no rear bumper cover, front is there but has rotten cracked PPF over it. All four 18" wheels are present but need refinishing, and this yard charges stupid money for them so I passed. But I cound a pre-LCI with a perfect headliner that I'm gonna grab next weekend.

Also according to VIN it is "Le Mans" blue, not Estoril. We regret the error.

Here's the VIN: 5UXFA93554LE81467

And here's the bumper, you can see the cracked film. But other than that it's in good shape.

AliExpress express is scary!
I've ordered mine from Amazon. I'll post a video and pictures after installation. I did see an E46 with some on it. It looked cool during the day. Night time will be better.

THANKS for checking! Glad you found that headliner! Mine just started falling on 2006 so I'll be searching for a pano headliner. It's my only working pano sunroof out of FOUR and it's the only one that is failing.

That blue one has an intact pano roof but who the hell knows if it's any good. Headliner looked good cursorily but as it wouldn't work in mine I didn't look that closely.

Big day for the x…well, more for me. I put a “new” (to me) drivers side front door card in that is in much, much better shape than my OE card. I’d reglued various parts of that panel back together more time than I can recall, with varying success. I even got out the heat gun and re-adhered the vapor barrier to the door. My wife liked the fact that the new card has the “airbag” plug still in tact, and approved 3 more to cover the holes in the remaining doors where those plugs long ago went missing or broke. They came in from FCP and look great.



I also made it back to the garage where my 4.4 motor is and got a bit more done on my my 4.4 disassembly. I’ll update thst thread with pics when I get a chance.

Center Support Bearing replaced.

This was the only brand available, the stealership said 2-4 weeks (inshallah) @765 SAR but the Matrix brand was 200 SAR. I just couldn't wait and wasn't going to keep driving on that P.O.S.
