Installed Bilstien/HR sports setup and a set of Racing Dynamics sway bars this weekend on my 97 Sport.

Thanks Jerry and Mikhail!

They join a x-brace underneath and a Mason bar up top.

A bit hard to see due to the lighting of this photo, but I now have rear mud flaps thanks to eurohb!

Ordered myself a new (S52 2.8L) engine!

Can't freaken wait to pretend that I know how to swap it out!

I ordered some stuff as well but nothing compared to an s52. ha! I ordered a new temp sensor, replacement bulbs for my cluster, a Bentley manual, and new switches with bulbs for my headlight and fog switches. Both of my switches are burnt out. I will finally be able to switch my stock steering wheel for a m3 steering wheel. Since I will be removing the steering wheel it will be easier to remove the cluster and replace the bulbs.

Also I order new Rockford composite speakers to replace the stock rear speakers. Looks like I will be really busy next weekend.

I found a pair of black ti's at the yards today, a 95 and a 97. Both looked to be Actives. Clean bodies on both.

I replaced the front and rear black/dull gray bumpers on my 95 with black painted ones in way better condition from the 97. I'll paint the rocker panels this week. (No more gray!) Nice difference.

Picked up a drivers window regulator and vapor barrier for the 95 and a M44 airbox to Fogg for my 97.

No LSDs.

Both rear subframes were deinstalled and there if anyone is interested. (Trailing arms missing)

The 97 had Sandgrau cloth front seats in good condition, but needs a good cleaning. The 95 had a black leather passenger seat

I'll have a non-M black rear bumper for sale/pick up if anyone needs one.

Altho' I finished and love my second 318ti, and it's been finished well, I've put it up for sale due to a new bout of cancer. Treatment started two weeks ago and I'm not excited about this one so I'm "cleaning house", literally. It's on AutoTrader in south Florida if you want to look at it.

Shellback · 03-05-2013, 04:17 PM

Campione,
Stick it to the cancer! Stay strong and get well soon!

Shellback · 03-22-2013, 02:29 AM

I have a/c! Finally!

**1996 328ti** · 03-22-2013, 03:49 AM

Replaced an 02 sensor.
AGAIN.

Also replaced the t-stat in the Mini.
Waiting to bleed air from the cooling system on the E30.
For the first time in I don't know how long, none of my cars have any warning lights lite.

Pulled my head off last weekend, got it resurfaced and pressure tested this week due to a blown head gasket. Funny thing is, it didn't overheat, but the machinist said it was warped 0.009". Goes to show, never assume it's straight.

Going to start bolting back together tonight

, should be done by the Sunday night.

**BlackBMWs** · 03-22-2013, 04:10 PM

Were you able to measure or verify the block surface?

I know the guy, he's pretty honest. I didn't check it personally, they have much better equipment than just a straight edge and feeler gauges. When I looked at the headgasket, it wasn't cracked or anything, so I pretty much assumed it could be a head issue. Regardless, I think its dumb not to get a head resurfaced and pressure checked if you're going through the kind of trouble, especially with an m44, replacing a head gasket. Cheap insurance. He did machine it 0.012" though, so I better get the timing on the money.

Funny how that sentence would read on a non-auto related forum.
