Hey,
Any fellow Ti owners living in Southeast Michigan or Northern Ohio interested in some type of meet up? I know there are a bunch of guys in Toledo with 318ti's and I am willing to bet there are others in Michigan. I live in the Western Detroit subs. I am willing to drive down to Ohio. Would be kinda of cool to meet up.
Any ideas?

I can show off the only custom part of my car (other than the Type 44 Wheels). I re-did my headliner (photos coming this weekend, weather premitting) in steel grey tweed.  __________________

Cool, that's at least 2 people. I think Bluebimma lives near Toledo (maybe I'm wrong on that) so that would make 3. I know there are more ti owners in the area. I can see it on the map! ;-)
Ohio has a ton of nice country roads with covered bridges. We could do a covered bridge drive tour. Who knows. Just trying to get something going.

yeah it would be fun, or even just get together to work on them, swap spare parts and what not. | | | | | 05-12-2010, 03:38 PM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Novi, MI Posts: 46 |
Well, if you need help with some mechanical stuff let me know. I am pretty good at workin on BMWs and I have a Bav-Auto BMW code scanner tool. I can get the trouble codes and reset the lights (except the AirBag system).
Also, I can help out with a saggy headliner. You buy the beer and I will help you re-do your headliner. ;-)
Check out the Interrior thread or my Gallery for pictures of my recent headliner repair. I recovered it, the moon roof, and the A, B, C pillars in tweed. Nice.
Tonight I am putting in (weather permitting) my FK / DEPO head lights with Angel Eyes.

i am pulling my headliner soon, i recovered it last year but didnt spend enough time cleaning all the old crap off. So its sagging again. I am also pretty good with mechanical stuff, i build race/ track engines on the side so i have all the tool and know how for engine work. I am currently installing a euro 6sp gearbox into my car. Check out in the engine swap threads. I am curious of how to pull the sunroof interior panel out to i can recover that. When you get the lights in i am going to have to chek them out as i have had them on my buying list for a while.

The moon roof fabric shuttle comes out so easy it's not funny! Look at the Interrior Thread on this site. Somewhere near the last page I did a write up on how to do it. Takes like 15min or less. ;-)
Hey, do you know where I can score a set of 328i caliper carriers / brackets? I want to upgrade to vented rotors from my solid fronts. I know I can reuse the caliper and pads. All I need is the brackets. then I will score a new set of front rotors.
