Will clean the throttle body, not sure If my back can handle the CCV job at the same time... most likely going to have to pay someone to do even this simple job, since my legs don't work right when I try to do anything that's hard on the back.

Yeah, they look nice.

Saw a Lime Rock edition M4 at Cars & Coffee Dallas (Classic BMW) in March.

Looks sweet. Shame about the horrid curved side-marker on the front fender (looks like an after-thought).

First one I have seen in person.

I also saw about 5 8 cylinder e53s on the drive home which is abnormal, usually see a few a week at most.

Hard to look cool while driving over a median, he was lucky he missed the sign.

So true.

Would bet he did a few K damage.

ok, pulled the door panels off replaced all of the speakers with alpine components spr-60s and still managed to use the factory door speaker pods with a little work and tweaking, dropped it off this morning to have the jl stealth box and alpine pdr v-75 amp installed, also going to re-do the tint on one window while its there. Wash the pollen off it twice a day too..... it's almost like snow here, you can see it blowing around!

Looked like a tie-rod hanging down from the front end... Bet he stopped a couple of blocks away and checked things out, while wearing a very red face and soiled underwear.

Upgraded the halogen angel eyes to 20 watt LED's - nice to have the 'modern' look now.
Spent an inordinate amount of time getting the PA soft scanner to work. Resurrected an old laptop with MS Vista (32 bit) and spent 2 hours trying to instal the drivers etc. This was an exercise in frustration and reminded my how much I love my Mac Book Pro and hate Microshite. Oh well, it's done now and that's all this old laptop will be dedicated too. Interestingly when I scanned for codes, it recognised a few, most notably 3 for the electronic auto trans? Cleared them and have yet to take the beast for a test drive. I'll be relieved if the firm shift from 1st to 2nd is gone.... but this only seems to happen when the trans is cold anyway, so not overly bothered.
Learning more about the X each day!
