For anyone wondering, an M54 fits the back of the touring just fine.
I've always wanted a rear-engined touring.

So, thanks to Photobucket changing their policies after the fact, I had to back up all of my Photobucket pictures, upload and sort them on Flikr, and go through every page of this thread to update...
Precisely 252,377 miles added from the time I handed the check over and started driving home to now where it sits in the garage.
And so I look at the date today and realize that today marks my 10th anniversary with this car. Purchased August 26, 2010.
It's a bittersweet day; it's been a long time, but it now sits in the...
He is the BMW Parts Fairy. Leave a spark plugs under your pillow and a carbon fiber trunk will show up in your garage.

I'm sure you can find one if you look hard enough!
I was offered this a while ago and kept rejecting the idea because I love the clean look of my stock trunk without the lip. I guess I'm warming up...
Obtained some more engine parts.
Oh wait... I don't think that goes there. :facepalm

Not a bad idea... I'll still forget though. lol
"I just wanna get it done" always comes to mind.
Thankfully I have supervision, so that's the only reason I'm even thinking about...
It's been dead in here, but things are changing.
A few months ago, I broke down and bought a spare M54B30 from a friend of mine for dirt cheap. I wanted to rebuild my original ZHP motor instead...
That is really cheap labor (~$380). My buddy says they can't do it that cheap.
He also has no idea how they're able to do the visors, since he said they're "vacuum" something-or-other... sealed? ...
Alright, I'll ask him for a quote. Questions he asked me:
Sedan? And you want the quote as if you're bringing him the headliner (he doesn't have to pull it)?
What material, standard black...
He does work at an upholstery shop for his day job but he does a lot of custom car modding stuff on the side. His shop is in Norwalk, CT. Want me to ask him if he'll do your headliner and a quote?
...
Thanks guys. Yeah, it's embarrassing to me to have my car looking like it's not taken care of. Being dirty all the time is one thing, but a sagging headliner or my busted trunk light not lighting up...
It seems the stars have aligned for something I didn't really have planned for a while. A buddy of mine does upholstery work and offered to do my headliner for me. So, that is what we did on...
Don't remember; it was around 8 months ago. Some kind of trim paint.

Damn, I can't believe I haven't updated this thread in almost a YEAR. Not a lot has changed but do have some honorable mentions during this time. So, here goes!
Back in October 2018, about a week...
My lighting changes continue. Next on the list: Morimoto XB LED fog lights via the Group Buy that Gary so kindly set up. Just paid for my set, so we'll see when it arrives.
I'm also kicking...
Ouch. Some states are just worse than others, I guess.
Not surprised. So many of the plow trucks are rusting to oblivion around here.
I tried to get the phrase right; I knew the...
Yeah... I think you'd be shocked if you found out how much rust was on the hard brake lines in the back of your old ZHP. We discovered it when removing the LSD...
Autocross is fun for all of 10 minutes. The rest of the day is spent waiting around and working. lol
All that time spent doing nothing or even working is the reason I stopped going to auto-x. It...
It's not me I'm worried about, it's the police. I am so scared of getting caught!

So far so good, though I don't do crazy stuff like burnouts or drifting (wish I wasn't such a scardey-cat) so I can't really comment on that kind of stuff. What I can comment...
Some updates have been afoot and I've been lazy. Let's see how many of these updates I remember. :)
U.S. Mill Works License Plate Bracket
A few months ago I had purchased a U.S. Mill Works...
Pics in my previous post have been fixed. Wish the photo sites would get their crap together; Flickr is best quality but has a terrible app and website. Google Photos has an excellent website and...
