Flywheel was shot, and rest ready for some new parts @ 135k.

QuietQuirk · 11-11-2016, 11:10 AM

I paid it off

The Nightman · 11-11-2016, 02:15 PM

Installed M3 rear subframe braces on my E90, which had no bracing at all. They really helped tighten up the chassis and were easy to install. You can find the M3 braces for cheap off eBay; I got mine for $90 including the center bracket.

All E9x M3s use this brace, while the E91 and E92/93 have their own versions.

Part numbers:
- Left brace: 51618040751
- Right brace: 51618040752
- Center bracket: 18211436309
- 4x M8x35 10.9 bolts and washers

Congrats! Now driver her 'til the wheels fall off (but keep her maintained so that doesn't ever happen).....I hope to never have a car payment again....never say never but it should be a very long time as we have 4 cars in our household, 3 of which should last at least 7-15 more years, the 3rd being on the way out due to emissions problems...(ain't America grand)

NitroKing · 11-11-2016, 03:14 PM

Tried a Chemical Guy's product for the first time, really liking it, no sticky residue and dry to the touch.

Greyfox · 11-11-2016, 06:01 PM

New belt, tensioner and idler pulleys on the engine.... I think 197,000 is pushing them far enough.

Today, I let my car rest, in the garage. Like it does every other day, being the lazy POS it is. Only takes my money and sits there. We have an awful relationship.
