I got them up another $600 today when they allowed the car to be in "very good" condition for the various components. Now at $9100. One last hope in the next few days when the get another read on what the ZHP "comps" really are (right now they allow $400 for it).Quote:

Washed the car for the first time since pulling it out of storage, promptly put it back in the garage under the car cover.
Hmm, I was having a hard time whether to go Meyle or Lemforder for the control arms. Glad I went and spent the extra $100 for lemforder. Going to be running Z4M bushings tooQuote:

Getting her towed home where I will further evaluate the source. It all happened so quick. Just refreshed cooling system less than 30k ago. Sigh...I know it's a 11 year old car and these things happen, but feeling deflated this morning...as well as my wife expressing her question of the cars overall reliability...
+1. My wife also does the same to me. She keeps on hounding me on why I continue to purchase and work on old cars.......Quote:

120 isn't very hot.... nothing to worry about there
That's got to be something else. My 330 ET blew up once long ago, but I was still able to limp my car home without temps even going up from normal. I even lost HVAC heat half way through the ordeal which is when I really watched for engine temps since the coolant level was below the thermostat.
