Yes, that was likely a solid buy, S52s still go for $1500-2000 on their own.

Soon we'll see a red wagon on here :) weather has been gnarly, we've gotten by pretty easily, we've been lucky.




*S54, this is Larrys AW Slicktop car.

Years ago one of my coworkers at the dealer tried to swap the sensors without draining the oil by going real fast, you can imagine how that turned out lol

Ya, we thought it was going to be simple and then we hooked up the oscilloscope and realized it was going to be a challenge.




It's a fun party trick for sure.

I needed to change the oil level sensor on one of my own wagons. It had recently had an oil change so I didn't want to drain and refill so I used this trick that I was taught a long time ago....

We've also started on a ZHP/S54 conversion, we've just been disassembling, assessing and cleaning parts so far. This is going to be a really extensive build. New everything in the suspension,...

Ok, been a little while. We've had a bunch of big projects come into the shop and quite a few little jobs that aren't that "interesting" so this is the reason for the extended update as you all know...

Thanks, I was surprised, I guess I under valued it.

I parted out a couple of coupes and have (2) sets of this European Auto Source carbon fiber trim. This first set for sale is the nicer of the two, it is in VERY good...

Sounds like a leaking injector or something in the fuel delivery system not holding pressure.

The long crank does it relate to how long the car has been sitting? I.E. long cranks when sits for (2)...

You aren't going to want to see these pics then....

If it doesn't work out, bring it up to me in Cedar Park and I can clear the chip for you. You'd just have to program the cluster, but it's an easy second option.

I've seen this a handful of times, but always E53 X5 B30s. We never attributed it to anything specific and all the cars that had the manifold replaced didn't have the issue reoccur.

But as I think...

The mounts for the V-Brace to the chassis don't exist on the non-M3 cars. We don't add them to our conversions but the next one we might look into it, it's just not simple option at the moment.

With the cluster completely disassembled you can mix and match parts to your hearts desire.

The issue is the eeprom on the board. You could pull it from the old board and install it on the new...

This car turned out really nice, here are a couple more pics of the underside.

Time for another update.

A new customer brought in a car he just bought and wanted to address some concerns with the goal of bringing it up to his expectations on how a nicely sorted M3 should be....

Wow that's a deal!

Very nice Alfredo, who did the work?

I had a well known local enthusiast do the exact same thing to me... he said he wanted to think about it and then ghosted me... he still pops up and wants to do other business with me and can't...

Food for thought.

Are you having a brake cooling issue?

Couldn't find anything mass produced, so this is what we came up with. Took another center grill and cut out the grid, then expoxied to the back side of the bumper and built a block off plate for the...

Absolutely, the value is in buying the Dakar/Black/MT and nothing else, I would have S54 swapped that thing so fast, lol
