Now I just need an alignment (and I am setting the camber outside BMW specs as per recommendations from this forum, .01 I believe so I can wear tires evenly) and a roadforce balance as the only steering wheel shake I get now is at highway speeds, regular mount and balance just doesn't cut it anymore.


Anyone know a welder in Jersey that would do my exhaust tips?
Mind sharing how much that suspension work cost you in labor? I have the parts sitting in my garage and planned on doing it myself this past summer, but here it is December and I still haven't had a free weekend to tackle it. Going to take it to my indy after the holidays, or wait until spring, lol.

After debating about it for over a year, I finally installed new headlights with AEs:

I also unclogged on of the sunroof drains. The car had almost a 1/5 inch of water in the driver side footwell after a heavy rain.

@ Relentlessone...


My indy charged me 234 for replacement of the thrust arms, ball joints, and wishbone control arms, plus tax. he charged me a half hour labor for replacing the front sway bushings which came to 47.50 plus tax. I think he is a very fair indy mechanic who does good honest work, torques every bolt to spec and has a great attention to detail.


If you need the name and number of my indy mechanic i'm happy to give a reference, he is in Madison, Morris County.

ran to the store for some food, brake light came on said check fluid. I checked fluid, it was a little low no big deal, So i topped it off. Came out after my lacrosse game tonight to find a nice puddle of brake fluid under the driver door....grrrrrrrrrr apparently the line has a pinhole in it somewhere.

Check for rust... The lines drop down the firewall to the underside of the car, behind a plastic panel. The brake lines are notorious for rusting in there. Best remedy is to cut out a section and replace, rather than replace whole lines, which extend back to the rear axle. Search the forum for brake line rust and you'll find the threads.
