UdubBadger's "WEGOHAM" Build Thread

Need a car back from the shop to be able to get it installed and then get you a video.

I hate my life right now.

Didn't realize you didn't have your car right now. I can wait. I'll just be playing around in the mean time. I was looking into picking up some stainless tubing to have welded directly to the muffler casing. Cheap and should look decent once polished.

Yeah was supposed to be finished but isnt

Bring it out to Indiana when she's all fixed up... got a lotta empty country roads out here :shifty

Seth, I know what you're feeling regarding pouring lots of money into your ///M. I've done this to mine as well but my ///M is beginning to look/perform just the way I want it... Difference is that I intend to keep my ///M for good so I guess it doesn't really matter how much money I will continue to put into my car.

I have to give it to you and your wife because you have stuck through it all with your ///M. Eventually, you will have a fully sorted out example that you can really be proud of because you did it! To me, there's no more satisfaction than knowing that you were the one who had fully sorted out your ///M, if you know what I'm trying to say here... :thumbsup

Keep the fight Seth....looking forward to seeing more progress on your project :)

I hear ya man but it's more of a situation of I'm so deep into the car financially of be fucked trying to sell it so I'd lose either way. If I sell for $20-22k I am losing about $10k in maintenance and such. If I keep the tab keeps going up but it seems smarter to drop another $1100 than lose $10k if I can keep it 3-4 years and have low cost over that period I can then sell and have made a bigger chuck of that back as I pay it off.

She's a good car, almost went to Audi a few times out of frustration but the thought of me not in an M or even a BMW felt too foreign (pun intended).

We went through this with our E53 4.8is. After a shitload of $$ in repairs we decided it was time to move on. We have twins now and they are pretty expensive little guys so we decided to replace with an MDX.. Reliable vehicle and really nice.... For someone that has never owned an X5. See what I'm getting at? There is not one trip that we take where we don't say we miss our X5....

Fun, just dropped another $2k on new set of coilovers.

No. Cuz I was again lied to about condition/age.
Guy sold to me saying they're about a yr old with 6k miles on them. They're actually from 2006 and shot (hence making that noise I brought car in about).

Pss10's from Bavauto overnighted. At least sale price covered overnight shipping of $191
