Angry

Smacked the curb with my passenger side of the car. It was 1:35ish in the morning, on my way home from work, and it had been raining that night... pulling around a corner from a stop light, and it just got away from me. So lost my bumper lip, and my have to do a little massaging to get the bumper strait again, and in serious need of wheel repair, or replacement. That's all I could deduce last night, will see if any thing else is busted today... I hope not. It drove fine, and seemed to track the same on the rest of the way home so I guess we'll see...

working on getting rid of a few rattles.

Little RTV on the radio trim should fix one.

The door lock grommet is rattling. It's a cheap replacement-but a month wait to get the part from Deutschland. So a little RTV in that too. And a few new door panel clips and some cut up innertube to replace the foam rubber isolators on those...

Then there is a huge clunk that I haven't figured out yet. Maybe a rear shock mount or the exhaust.

My exhaust clunks like crazy around 2000-2500rpm when going in a corner but only when it rains or snows. Something happens to the hangers and they stretch out. It's really annoying.

I've refitted and re-welded the exhaust so many times...and new gaskets, hangers.... still leaks. About to weld the header to the cat. I have a left over poly hanger from my mazda, I might redo the one mount on the muffler to use that. I've also had the one rear mount get ripped off the frame when I had the stock exhaust, also broke the header (back to the lack of a cat bracket) Glad I can fabricate and have a mig welder.

Had the fender and side pulled out so my son could drive it an put gas in it after someone hit him last week. It's really a bummer cause its such a clean car for a 98.

Anybody have a rear quarter panel and passenger door let me know.

Enjoyed a rattle free commute to work in the ti. Now just need to address the clunk. Then maybe some M3 strut mounts and an alignment.

Put a brand new secondary air pump in the 332ti. I hate all that emissions crap. I'm not against trying to have clean air, but there's got to be a better/cheaper way to get there.

put it in storage on the bright side I managed to get my old Subaru running again after I left it sitting since last spring, never forget to put fuel stabilizer in a car that you won't be driving

PSS9's to replace older worn out stock stuff. Will be installing them come spring. Will be winterizing the car next week I hope.

Will be doing E30 M3 LCAB because the OEM are split.

Welcome back brother!

I just purchased a driveshaft from bimmerworld for the black 332ti and a few other parts.

Today was an expensive day!
