so guys, whats the best middle of the road priced shocks for a stock ride hight 2.5 4x4.

there's also this site for parts. it's a link to all salvage yards. this site is for all makes not just bmw. http://www.vinesauto.com/PartsPage.htm

when you get old, you don't need to laugh to pee, practically anything will do it. coughing, sneezing, farting.

does anybody know off hand the bolt size for the manifold bolts? just so i can start tracking down the helicoil kit if needed. i've heard of them before and do have a little experiance using a similar kit for my bmw oil drain pan hole. something called (time sert) system.

wow, we have someone that knows of such things as e30's. yea, she's my girl. actually, the reason i got the manche was to haul the boat and take to work a couple times a week. i was putting 500 miles a week on the bimmer just going to work and pulling the boat dosen't help with longevity of the car. i'll have to be honest though, i should have bought a ford ranger or something. now i'm hooked on this damn manche and my love is torn between 2 lovers. a 27 year old car and a 26 year old truck all the while the 2007 chrysler is driven by the wife and you know what? leter have it. these two quarter of a century old vehicles are made better, drive better, are more fun, easier to maintain, and turn more heads than 80% of all cars on the road today. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

if you are smart enough to learn from your elders, you have half the game beat. :smart:

it's your penis :doh: :doh: :doh:

so, my new mani and front pipe arrived. now, i need to deal with 2 broken mani bolts. the one has just a little bit protruding but the rear seems to b broken off flush. fingers crosed i don't have to pull the head. i'm not doing it myself cause it's a little more than i can handle in the driveway only being a shade tree guy. i do have an experianced guy doing it who will work with me financially if the worst case scenario pops up. on an 87 2.5, is there room to get a drill on the front and rear bolts to drill/easy out them?

it has been my experence that, oh no, i forgot what i was gone wright.

here's my other build/project. not really a build, just my pride and joy and keeping her in top notch condition is kind of like a build.

i have a first gen i pad and couldn't be happier. does every thing i need and does it fast.

hey steve, u don't have to tell me. ask me how i know. oh yea, i have a sun roof too.

oh well, it was just a sugestion. i know quite a few classic bmw guys that would love access to quality headliner guy like yourself.

this looks to be all 4.0 specific. is there one for a 2.5?

so where can i get a fsm for my 2.5?

hey steve, have you ever thought about going big time? there's a ton of older (classic ) car comunities that would pay for quality head liners. is it possible to get templates and lazer cut. i'm not sure of the process but just a thought.

ok, not to threadjack, but how in the hell do you guys clean up your rigs after serious play? seems to me there's mud everywhere.

the broken bolt heads are to the head. how do i get them out if not useing easy out? i have a hayes repair manual. will that work or is the chilton that much better?

so, as a shade tree machanic, what am i getting myself into changing the exhaust mani and front pipe on my 87 2.5? i will mention that 2 mani bolts will have to be easy outed cause the heads are off. should i just pay someone to do it? how many hours?

thanks man but i can probably p/u one a little closer. thanks again.

had 3 offers on mine the first day i had her. i'm used to that though. i also drive a 1986 3 series (e30) bmw. they are also head turners and talk about fun to drive.

any damage?

A man went into the Job Center in Downtown Denver, and saw a card advertising for a Gynecologist's Assistant. Interested, he went in and asked the clerk for details. The clerk pulled up the file and read: - "The job entails getting the ladies ready for the gynecologist. You have to help the women out of their underwear, lay them down and carefully wash their private regions, then apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in soothing oils so they're ready for the gynecologist's examination. The annual salary is $65,000 and you'll have to go to Billings, Montana." - "Good grief; is that where the job is?" - "No sir; that's where the end of the line is right now."
