I spent $70.00 on a tiny bag of goodies & a jug of coolant to get the Touring ready before I hand the keys to my wife.
new emblems
gas flap hing
few OBC bulbs
few tail light bulbs
touch up paint (Calypsorot)
shifter do dad thing a ma bob
I guess I didn't relize this on my 525 since I bought the simular stuff over time
Hey Bob - same color. New emblems are about the cheapest big bang for the buck appearance-wise I think. Need to do the front on mine.
Tom
tried the dental floss method-floss snapped!
Used packing ribbon from copy paper cases, you know that plastic colored ribbon that straps boxes closed.
Slipped it under the emblem wrapped it around a few times, wiggle, wiggle, tug, tug and pop goes the emblem.
I'm in the last two weeks of a three month E34 project. I plan to post pics and the budget.
Yes, I too was just enlightened of the costly side of BMW ownership, er, hobby, last night... according to this here spreadsheet I've already put in $3,500, not including tools and detailing equip. since last august. Wheels have been my only "mod," everything else just maintenance, yikes! :D
It seems to make no sense what is costly and what isn't. I was just quoted a hundred bucks for the outside MIRROR GLASS!
you can find that glass for $10... buy the whole mirror on ebay for $30... etc etc
where? it's heated. all I could find on ebay was cheeso boy racer stuff.
i replaced that glass on my driver's side... i don't remember who sold it to me.. someone in VA.. they also sold me a steering wheel with airbag... $100
keep searching the forums and ebay and you'll find what you need...
also i know there are at least five E34s on ebay being parted out right now... search
assembly off of Ebay for $25 used.
I think Autohaus az has just the glass
which side do you need. I have a passenger side one laying around....

I won't see a doctor when I should but if the car has a rattle I'll try to fix it while driving. Frued may have had something to say about this. Perhaps it has to do with being potty trained at gunpoint.
sans the potty training at gunpoint!
