Close. It's my FIL's Silverado. Forget the year.

I'm excited to see it up there and mounted too fellas. But that will be a bit as I need to order the rail kit first. The E61 is taking priority right now to get it up and running. Never ceases to amaze me how mistreated most BMW's are. Wagons seem to take it even harder. Having to repair much more than anticipated, replace missing trim, broken parts, etc. No such thing as a cheap BMW right? :D

Nice!

You know there's a company that sets up carriers with a belt-fed, right? Just saying...[emoji1787]

New tensioner pulley on the supercharger. It was fun to find, as it's not located in any manual or diagram. I also replaced 2 coolant hoses on the top side & topped off with BMW blue.

Pulled the cats off due to bank 2 codes, so now it's loud as hell. Going to put some mufflers in their place.

Next up, check spark plugs on bank 2 and charge the AC system.

After that, I'll be basically down to cosmetics. Some fresh paint on the front and back and it'll look & drive like new.

Swapped out the AutoZone MAF I had for an OEM to chase a fluctuating idle and random SES light. No more non-OEM for me. Forgot to reconnect the harness though :yikes: . Drove for two days trying to figure out why I was in Transmission Failsafe Mode and thought I had perhaps discovered how long the original fluid would really last.


Decided to take a second look under the hood and saw the open connector :(. Hooked it back up and everything is fine again.


Memory is the second thing to go.....I forget the first.:banghead:

New wipers! lol Let's see how long these last. Got the Trico's. Also detailed the interior including shampoo front, rear, and cargo carpet. Tempted to pull the factory Avin screen protector off and raw dog it since I noticed a few scratches on it.

Cleaned MAF a while back. After doing the secomd car I start for a test drive and quickly get SES. Same thing I never plugged it back in yeeesh.

Updated my iBus app to version 2.1.3.1 that released today. It fixed my double DSP signal being sent at startup where I had a short burst of sound and then 1 second later normal sound. :thumbup:
