DirtE30 - 1990 BMW 325i

[Senor_Taylor]

Busy weekend with moving apartments and such, but I found some today to break in the new garage. Wired in my speed sensor plug. That didn't fix the problem as the guy told me the sensor itself was broken, so Luther is looking for a plug for me.

Dave gave me a unpainted bumper to swap on so I tackled that mess. The outer plastic bumper pieces are held on with clips, them the bumper cover under is held with rivets, followed by the bumper itself is fastened with two torx bolts. Of course the torx bolt rounded immediately so I had to remove to cover with the bumper on the car. The new bumper isn't painted, but it doesn't really stand up much since the car is dark grey anyway. I also painted the grills, and by that I mean painted on coat and the can clogged up so I did the next 3 coats with plastidip. I sorted the pile of parts that came with the car when I moved and found a tow hook and a latch for the glove box so I threw those on. I was painting the latch black when Zach encouraged me to go red with it. I don't disagree with that decision. The rtabs are here so I'll tackle those next weekend and see if I can get it ready for summit in November.

I also heard a clunk so I need to check the front control arm (the one not replaced) to see if it needs new bushings or needs to be replace. Yay.

Lastly, Zach and I went on a drive and found his NB is faster than the E30.
