Removing ballpoint pen from defroster vent.

Marc,
Don is quite a guy...he has a valuable website which is an excellent reference on this board. He just completed a manual trans conversion on his '92 735i.

Trans conversion? *shuddering* God, how long did that take him? When I tried to do that with my friend's Mach 1 (yuck!), it took freaking forever! Cut the holes in the floorboard, damn!

Don's a talented wrench and the conversion is straight forward provided you know what you are doing :-)...as the E-32 was imported in 5 speed form in limited nos. to the US and a bit more prevalent in Europe. The E-34 and E-32 cars in many cases are identical and virtually all the manual conversion parts are interchangeable.

Marc...here is Don's website. If you haven't done so, considering safety wiring the banjo bolts on your big six. I did this recently.

I'm going to do it. I'll get a hold of him on Friday, will be doing the installation of the Supersprint exhaust, might as well do both...

the way to go Marc...takes the guess work out of wondering if your banjo bolts are working loose....which they tend to do even with loctite without safety wire.
