Hi, I just bought my 1990 525i a few weeks ago. I have so many questions i dont know where to start and I figure that instead of making a bunch of posts I would just ask all the questions I can think of here and I would appreciate answers to any or all of them from anyone who knows. Thanks in advance
1. whats a decent price to pay to replace all the shocks and bushings?
2. is there anyway (or any product) so that I can do paint touchups on the "a-pillars" (one of them is badly scratched)
3. whats a good chip? where can I get it and how much does it cost? how much difference does it make?
4. Can all e34 engines be swapped. For instance could i potentially put an M5 engine in the car and if so what other things would have to be changed in order to do this?
5. whats a decent price to pay to get the headliner re-glued?
6. The sunroof works properly most of the time but sometimes it sticks and wont work if its cold and/or wet outside. is this normal? is there anything i can do to fix it?
7. Is there any way to remove the plastic (clear window) that is in front of the gauges without a big fuss? (the inside of the plastic is dirty, i dont know how, but it drives me crazy)
8. I was also thinking of getting those chrome gauge rings, would these be hard to install? can I do it myself despite the fact that Im not that mechanically inclined but am learning to be?
Thats it for now, im sure ill come up with more later being that im constantly thinking about this car (I love it) Like I said I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me on any of these questions. Peace...
