The forecast changed overnight. Now it's 15-20cm snow in central VA forecasted, and it's a chilly -9°C outside right now. I am gonna have so much fun in either the 3er or X3 this afternoon......

On the topic of travel: Travel is not recommended in central, western, and southern VA today. VDOT has done such a good job of treating the interstates that most of them are in Moderate or Severe condition.

wow... looks like a big project.

I'm now laughing at the ineptitude of the Southern people to clear a half inch of slush as it turns to ice and grinds this place to a halt for a few days.

Installed the following new components:
- Camshaft Position Sensors (4)
- Fuel Breather Valve
- Oil separators
- Temp Senors (3)
- Dinan Velocity Stacks
- Aux Fan
- Thermostat with Coolant flush
- Dinan CAI Filters

Cleaned the following
- Throttle Body Plates (8)
- Top and Bottom Plenum cover
- Radiator

At a slow pace putting it all back together right now as I'm not really in a hurry. The M5 hibernates during winter anyways so no driving duties expected out of it.

The X5 will undergo the same maintenance work next year for applicable components.

Perfect! Going on it's 2nd year with us and since we got it only regular maintenance needed and the best part is that since it's a "classic" model, the parts are pretty inexpensive.

- Replaced F&R brake pads and rotors with brake flush(07/2008)
- Replaced a vacuum tube and MAF to engine air intake tube(09/2009)

And the regular Oil change maintenance every 4K miles.

Hoping to get into an inexpensive lease with a new car and have the E30 relegated to a truly classic state and start some restoration work on it. It's got 120K miles on it now.

Good to hear about your E30.
