Oh right on, I can't believe I haven't picked that up before!Quote:

I probably shouldn't have changed it out but I did anyways in the sound persists. Best I can describe it as is like the electrical hum of a fluorescent lamp. Oh well... The money pit BMW continuesQuote:

I would go with the Eldor. BMW moved to them after Delphi.

Ignore the fitment. These work in the m54
Yep, I put these in my car 2 years ago. No complaints.Quote:

Has anyone ever dealt with shipping through uship, or getting a full interior from east coast to west? Have a lead on a set of cinnamon I need to setup shipping for to my city from them.
I used Uship.com to send an engine back to TX. They have an easy to use interface (e.g. selecting options such as tailgate necessary since I don't have a forklift, residential address, etc), and they were the cheapest I could find in my limited search. Ultimately they brokered the shipment through UPS Freight, but the pricing was better than the quote I initially got directly from UPS.Quote:

I see. Thanks for this info. So for the seats, door panels and such—do I just order one large pallet and have them fit everything on there? Not sure what the guy is gonna do in terms of shipping safety, can’t expect much other than maybe wrapping the seats in some film
I have seen front seats shipped two ways...Quote:

The other way I have seen seats shipped is by a pallet where the seats were mounted on the pallet then tie wrapped to them so they would not move and then wood paneling nailed to the pallet with wood boards serving as a skeleton to form a big wooden box to ship the seats. (much more expensive way but the seats were guaranteed not to be harmed at all... this is how my Porsche Adaptive Sport Seats arrived.
Damn! I'm in a weird spot. Found a guy willing to sell me his full interior in the e̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶c̶o̶a̶s̶t̶ midwest, but really preferred to only sell local until I convinced him. Told him I'll have Uship come and pick it up to make it easy for him, but I doubt he will do any packing or anything. He was pretty much refusing to ship until I had pressured him to do so :p
Trying to figure out quotes right now, but this may not work out--seems like.
that makes sense. packing is a PIA.Quote:

We've done that back in the day. Not sure about here. But on e46f. We moved something across the country through a series of fanatics lol I forgot what it was though.Quote:

Yeah, forums were a lot more active ~10 years ago, when social media wasn't as big as it was. Now everything seems to be migrating to fb groups or instagram. My local BMW forum (maxbimmer) was pretty big back in the day, now there's like 1 post every 2 or 3 days of just spam or people selling stuff
Does anyone know what M logo fits on the ZHP steering wheel trim?
I bought 2-3 different kinds of eBay a while back and none of them are the correct sizing.
You can order one from here Jacob :coolQuote:

The badge itself is attached to the two posts with double-sided tape. Just remove the badge and then reapply new double-sided tape and replace the badge on the M-Spoke lower steering wheel trim. I will confirm this since I just ordered this part :)
I thought about it actually. Looked up flights, checked truck rental prices. Costs end up being pretty damn high, but time spent ends up even more.Quote:

Less in time and money than driving a set back from east coast.
Wow. this aint a bad idea at all. Going to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.Quote:

How long does an OFHG replacement typically take, and anything else I should do while I'm in there?
The last time I did it, I think it took me about 4 hours, taking my time.Quote:

Don't really think so IIRC. It's not a bad job either.

Apart from belts, can’t really think of anything. Also good time to check the alternator make, if you don’t know already in case you need to order pulleys for it later.Quote:

For the coupe bois:
Ever had a door rattle that improves by rolling down the window a smidge? I checked the seal along the roof sill, but nothing seems to be in there, and the window glass is fine, but damn me if it doesn't rattle like crazy and I can't identify the source.
Have you done your window regulators? That’s what I would suspect, especially if it goes away with the window down.Quote:

Interesting...what part fails that starts to rattle, especially with the window up? My windows do "click" from time to time when actuating, but move at roughly the same speed up and down.Quote:
