Been too cold for wrenching so I haven't done anything to the car but drive it. Over 800 miles now. Gas mileage continues to plummet, thanks to city driving during holiday shopping season: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fuelly.com/driver/getfast/325i">http://www.fuelly.com/driver/getfast/325i</a><!-- m -->
Oh, I did replace the third brake light bulb to stop the annoying OMG BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT message.
Next up.. finishing the LCA bushing job and installing these:

Those are Koni Sports and H&R OE Sports with somewhere between 20k and 25k miles on 'em. Perfect for a street beater - firmer than stock but not uncomfortable during the daily potholecross.
May or may not do new LCA's, haven't decided yet. May have a set on hand during the suspension install and return 'em if not needed. The ones on the car don't look bad, but they don't match (which cheap bastard prior owner only replaced one LCA, seriously?) so I'm wondering if the older of the two is original.
As usual, stay tuned for details :thumbup:
