Jon's '04 Sedan Ownership Log
Ok folks.. I suppose its time for me to start a thread so that my project can be logged in a way. I plan to first get the car 'up to snuff' with a few repairs and some needed maintenance, and I also plan to do a few mods along the way to make her my own.
Purchased on May 31st, 2012, I paid $15,000 for the car. Its an '04 Sedan, Alpine white with natural brown leather, black cube trim. The car had 93,469 on the ticker, and she's now just over 95,000 miles. I bought her in North Salem, NY, and right after I bought her, I drove her down to Florida, no PPI done at all. I did a few minutes test drive with my old man and was sold on the look and feel of the car. She did me proud on the drive south though, not one hiccup.
Now that she's home, the first step is to get her cleaned up, paint restored to showroom shine, and wheels cleaned up (they're in pretty rough shape). Then, the following work will follow..
Maintenance to come- The stuff it seems to need right now.
1. Repair/retrofit burnt headlight bowls
2. Fluid exchange all around
3. VANOS rebuild (I get some rattle/ticking at idle...?)
4. DISA rebuild
5. Navigation unit updates (car thinks it is in NJ...?)
Mods to come- The stuff I want!
1. CSL or ZCP rims (Style 359s)
2. iPod/Aux connectivity
3. OEM Bluetooth...?
4. OEM Homelink...?
5. Clear corner/sidemarkers, RCR tails
6. HID yellow fog lights (McCulloch lights, had them on my last car, LOVE them)
7. Dinan intake
8. Dinan exhaust
9. Dinan software
10. Dinan badge... eventually! Always wanted a Dinan BMW.
11. M3 rear end setup
Aaaaand, I think that's enough! I'll most likely be about 40 when all that stuff is completed!
Anyway, onto the initial pics... Before I have done anything.
