That looks like a nice 2002. You guys see many older bimmers in the shop? I have to say I rarely see anything older than a beat up E30 on the street...

I only work on the Nice older BMW's So we see a couple We have a clean E28 m5 here right now. We also have a few E30 m3's that come in. A few older M6's have been through as well.

If it is an older BMW is has to be a clean example or I won't work on the car.

I am going to Abra for all paint,body work, and installation since I've brought in my previous cars there before.

We should all either to WI or to the meet itself, show them how us Minnesoootans do it.

FYI, I just got that bumper installed and painted at Abra in EP. There are a few issues when fitting it so PM me if you have questions. The undertray doesn't line up perfectly and there are problems with the foglights connecting to the power connection coming from the car. I have to figure out mine at a later date.

GL!!!

Thanks, I'll let you know what happens. If Abra has issues with the foglights, I know someone else that may do it.

I hit a goose the other day and broke the top part of my kidney grills. Using the chrome grills for now.

Martin, I think I spotted your car yesterday maybe on 100 North?

IRL-MN · 04-10-2010, 01:24 PM

Spotted a TiAg E90 around Excelsior & Grand in St. Louis Park this morning. It had the M-Tech kit and black 19" Style 199 wheels. Looked sweet

Just Back from Reno NV for a BMW raing seminar and conferance.

FYI we will not be caring Dension Bluetooth kits and Ipod adaptera for BMW/VW Audi cars. These are great and DO NOT REQUIRE REMOVAL of the BMW CD changer

http://www.dension.com/

Just for you guys thought you would want to know. I had a big meeting with there UK engineer this stuff works great I installed two kits in Reno for them at the meeting

Showsol2211 · 04-12-2010, 08:53 AM

Man, what a crazy couple weeks it's been. I feel like I have abandoned this site along with some projects that I had going on! I hope this is a better week and I will try to help Martin out on getting his AE's installed!

Happy Monday All!

R3DBULL · 04-12-2010, 09:17 AM

If you guys are installing new AE's I'd love to sit in and watch. It's something I will be doing in the future as well. I'd love to help if you guys need it. I have tons of LED lights to install on my car (interior, license plate, reverse lights) and new HID bulbs as well. Let me know if I can assist in any way.

Regards,

Chad

Just had my E92s first service at MW today. I need to slow down, 12k miles in 2 years

Anyway, as has always been the case for me, a very positive experience.

I ordered the tow hook plate bracket a while back, but only recently fitted it. The thing is, the more I look at it the less I like it! Time for a center mount solution that doesn't involve that hideous black plastic mounting bracket

I like this one instead of using the tow hook. I'll see if I can somewhat replicate this.

Let me know how that goes. I am looking at those pictures and trying to see what items I may need.
