Hi, my name is Mike Stauffer, and I'm addicted to BMW's. (except Bangle's)
Harrisburg, PA
92 535iM black on black
Mods: EAT chip, Sach's kit, Triflow catback, clears, Bruno's inserts and subframe plates, 750 bushings, amp and sub
I've been working on this thing quite a bit this year. Got it in March, did everything listed above as well as: Adjusted valves, Evaporator, expansion valve and drier, dogbones, tie rods, upper and lower control arms, strut mounts front and rear, complete tune-up, detailed paint with orbital buffer.
Planned mods and maintenance over the next year: Sway bars, injectors, FPR, Headgasket, possibly rear suspension bushings
I just started up again on this board when I got my 535iM early this year. I used to post occasionally on the old bimmernut board and roadflea when I had my old e34. My wife wrecked that one, and in the meantime we ended up with an e39. I missed my old e30 and e34 and starting looking for a replacement, and that's when I found the current one. Sometime when I'm bored, I'll post pictures of the old and the new e34s. The old one was wrecked with 153,000. I put over 50,000 miles on her in 4 years. The new one I bought had 156,000, so I pretty much picked up where I left off.
Thanks to everyone on the board for the invaluable advice and info.
P.S. My trunk lock is still jammed!! Any advice or tips appreciated.
