Plans 2012

whats people's plans for there bm's for this year? mods ? resto?

Think mines going to be getting the coupe ready for its mot next month, and tax her aswell
such as it needed 2 tyres which i have replaced today with two mint part worn pirelli p zero's. headlights need adjusting slightly for the beam.
rest is just mainly cosmetic such as refurb wheels, possible de spoiler the boot. sort some dints out and what ever else i can think of along the way

My plans are to insure it for less than £1k a year, otherwise it will be getting sold

If I do keep it, I'll be fitting the E46 seats, new gearknob and front end respray to get rid of the stone chips.

just plan to get my brakes fitted when the final parts turn up and retrofit my heated washer jets. When the weather improves I plan to polish it up, also plan to get my centre caps repainted the proper colour somehow after I find a replacement for the missing one that is....

Hopefully you'll get insurance at a decent price

Plans for the coupe

Get it all put back together (just got a few bits to do now
Get it MOT’d
Wrap the roof in carbon
Then get it all shiny and use it oh and take it to a few shows maybe even stick it on a track day

Plans for the E30

Get the old engine back into it and sell it on (shame to see it go but the coupe has taken its place)

well my arches are urgent so they are first .but will have to go on hold for a couple of weeks as i am in hospital monday for a torn tendern in my shoulder

Think am gonna sell up and buy a 335d or an e46 m3

Sell up and get a 335d Coupe or 335i vert

I would like to put some new suspension on either ps9 or ps16 I think thats the correct numbers, and sort out the audio issue of it randomly switching off whilst driving then coming back on when stopped !!!! its driving me mad

sorting out the rust and the crack where the cam sensor is where the oil leaks from

well ive got to add another tyre to my list now as ive just got a puncture and it cant be repaired, so the hunt is on for a replacement ha.
Oh and also to replace the window seals which are f****d
thats all

That's correct Rob. you have to remove the glass to be able to change the rubbers, make sure you put a bit of masking tape to mark where the bottom rubber runs to keep it in line and also ge-grease the paint with a solvent type product and lastly you will need a hand to put / hold the fitting whilst you put the screw back in the glass. I hope this helps if you need any more info ask me.

Plans???
Get the fecker back on the rd!
Put an exhaust system on it!
A re-map to suit!
