Which motor and miles? Refresh my memory? Every m62 I helped rebuild would throw euros until I replaced a cps or two so that's my start point of mystery errors. They never are cps related

That’s some nice work Factory6Speed. I long for a manual gearbox again, and would like to try to convert my 4.4 from my 5hp24 e53 to a manual set up to use in a project car. This is pretty well doucumented in the forums it seems. Even some kits available to move the crank sensor to the front timing cover.

Nothing so challenging happening on my weekend. I did finally pop a few parts on I’ve had sitting in the shop for a while - a new fuel hose and a new armrest tray. All parts from FCP.
My OE fuel hose has seemed stretched tight to me since the motor swap, and it’s also old as dirt. New one is a bit longer.

My armrest has been a sticky, nasty mess for years so I bought a new tray, for starters.

Here is the new one, before popping it in. Two credit cards, inserted towards the back of the old one on either side, releases some tabs and the the tray comes out from the back edge first. Pic of the new tray here, next to my recently cleaned and redyed arm rest. Super happy with the way this, and the rear seats turned out.

The the rest of the plastic around the tray is a bit sticky still after cleaning, but I’m not sure what can be done about that.

Wow, TIL that brake fluid testers are a thing! Looks like it is just a simple conductance measurement too. I am sure that the Chinese can still mess up a device as simple as a conductance probe but maybe I will see if I can find one and see how long it lasts.

I picked up a full compliment of Liqui Moly engine, brake, gear, steering oils for this weekends fun on the surface of the [emoji274] maintenance. Although it's supposed to only get to 47c on Friday instead of the awesome 53c of this week....

I already have a burnt sausage and toasted nuts, on the plus side I also have no fingerprints!!! [emoji3060]

Amazon. Not expensive. Brake fluid wears out from absorb water. I already bought the fluid to do the change and it is ready to change but not overdue. I'll do this summer

It's not expensive the first time, no, but when you have to buy another one next year from a different seller with a different made-up brand name ... and can't find real reviews because Amazon makes it easy to create fake brand names with fake reviews... thanks Amazon, for making it easy for the cheap chinese counterfeiters to sell crap in america.

Last workday for this week. 90F and cloud cover. Comfortable weather. Why not? Open the pano roof wide open and blast some music. :bmw:
Hello weekend.

Your definition of comfortable and mine are two different things, :wow:

Here in South Texas. 90F in July... is amazingly comfortable weather. I actually wore jeans this week. Normally jeans get put away in May and brought back out in October. :bustingup

It's the humidify. (or lack thereof). I'm in the Midwest and 90 usually feels like 96-97. When I visited Phoenix a while ago, it was about 106° until the sun went down. We went inside a store and came out close to 10 pm and there was a gentle breeze and we all noted how cool it felt.

Got in the car and the dashboard confirmed how "cool" it was: NINETY NINE DEGREES! (37c to you in the *majority*)
