I was a bit pissed having drilled two holes in the bumper to put those screws in, until I remembered I have a giant 11" crack in the bumper and it needs to be replaced anyway __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

Got my order from bimmerworld...With the wrong front bushings. Which were the ones that really needed replacement. Sent them an email. __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 12-02-2011, 10:14 PM | #1836 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 |
Put it in storage (my garage) so now my garage has the ti and my mom's Prius in it while the Mini is outside with my sister's Prius outside also. Can you tell my family like the Prius? LOL. Put the snows on the Mini last night and did an oil change. Just got the first snow of the season last night but didn't stick to the ground. __________________ Greg

Many of the ducty things in the front of my '97 318ti are missing, so I ordered some from eBay. The one that goes in front of the radiator, the one for under the chin, and the brake cooling ducts. I'll probably also need all kinds of clips and things … nothing that wire ties can't solve.
The bumper has to come off to do this, so I might as well add fog lights while I'm in there. | | | | | 12-03-2011, 11:17 PM | #1839 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 |
Enjoyed tossing it around last night with the new hiem joint endlinks on the front and the poly rear swaybar bushings. Now just need the bushings for the front bar! It's almost at a point where I'm content with the handling.. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 12-04-2011, 01:17 AM | #1840 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: San Francisco Posts: 15 | Glue!
I reglued the door clips on the driver side door.
I got one of those little double-syringes of resin and hardener, the kind specified for plastic and steel and quick set. When I removed the clips from the door, I wrote the clip number and orientation on the inside of the door panel with a felt marker. I put about a teaspoon of mixed glue onto a clip, then smooshed the clip into its glue-puddle on the door.
Then I rummaged around in my screw bucket for appropriate screws for the top and bottom ends of the door handle. The previous owner … wasn't so good about that kind of stuff.
Rejigger it all back into place, whack the clips into their holes, screw down the door handles, and tra-la! A solid, non-rattly door. | | | | | 12-04-2011, 01:43 AM | #1841 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Eric's Tire and Rim Shop is now OPEN!
Assembled the Tennsco 3-tier tire rack and loaded it up. Sean should now have a bit more room around his car to work and I don't have tires and rims everywhere (yey!).
Eric's Tire and Rim Shop is now open!
The Harbor Freight tool box is also loaded up, so at least a good portion of my tools are in the garage now instead of being splayed out all over the floor in the basement. I'm planning to get some nice metal pegboard on which I should be able to hang the rest. That way everything will be in the garage either on the pegboard or in the tool chest. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

Eric (aka Stabby): Thanks for posting your pics. I'm thinking about getting four motosport rims to rotate between my ti and z3. I now know how I would store the set not in use. | | | | | 12-05-2011, 04:48 PM | #1844 | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Kansas City, MO Posts: 24 |
