Greetings!
I have been lurking around and posting a few comments over the last few weeks and realized I hadn't introduced myself. How rude! Many of you may know me from Bimmerboard where I have posted pretty regularly over the last few years. I post as Dan over there. Great imagination huh? :) Anyway I started out in a 2000 740i that was pretty bare bones. After a few mods, a bundle of uncompleted mods, a few repairs including the dreaded timing chain job I stumbled upon a 750 in a used car lot and decided to take it for a test drive just to see what the V12 guys were so stoked about. I didn't get that one due to rust through in a few places but the drivetrain was strong and I was hooked. It took most of another year to find one I liked. A few repairs and a few mods (with more planned) and I am well on my way to making her just the way I want.
The car:
01 750iL sport born on 04/00
Anthracite Metallic
138k
MK4 widescreen
The repairs so far:
Front end suspension refresh including center link, rod ends, control arm, sway bar bushings and links
The boots between the oil separators and valve covers
Had to have an indy resync the DMEs with the EWS. No clue what happened but running on six cylinders sucked
Replaced rear sunshade motor
Replaced delaminated drivers door glass
Coming repairs:
Front shocks and related parts. I have a clunk and with everything else being new..
Rear suspension refresh just because
Passenger rear door lock actuator. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
Headlight washers
Washer motors
Rear headrests (that nylon nut)
Glovebox latch
A few others I can't think of at the moment but nothing major
The mods so far:
Umnitza V4s mounted behind the inner lens
Swapped blue roundels for black
Custom E46 steering wheel
Euro armrest
All interior lights and license plate lights swapped out for LEDs
Clear corners w/stealth amber bulbs
Blacked out OEM grills
Coming mods:
Double DIN aftermarket stereo
Bi-xenon headlights (I had actually talked myself out of that long ago and then one of the first threads I saw over here planted the idea in my head again) Thanks for that Miss BimmerLV :)
Alcantara headliner and pillars
DUDMD tune
I think that's about it. Anyway, hi!
