e24 Dash Designs carpet dashmat

I am trying to sell a carpeted dashmat for the e24. It is made by Dash Designs, and fits well, you just need to supply the velcro pieces that stick on to the dashboard to mount it. I'd like $30 bucks for it, free shipping, and paypal works for me.

Thanks!

It's gone!

I miss it a little, don't be surprised if I'm back with an M in 5-10 years, hopefully sooner.

Re: Whos e24 has a broken odometer? Odometer gears here!

I'm so glad you saw my post. Maybe garagistic will learn from this. Mine are still working great, and recording the correct mileage, but it sucks you weren't aware of this simple method that would have saved you at least an hour of headache I bet. They should send you a new set, or at least that sma...

Re: Whos e24 has a broken odometer? Odometer gears here!

@songzunhuang DAMNIT! @Garagistic, it needs to be made clear on how to remove the brass sleve. It should be on a piece of paper when you send the gears. You squeeze it (don't even have to squeeze it hard) with needlenose or other pliers, and it warps it out of shape and makes it loose so it just sli...

Re: Kief's Summer Project

Quick update The kmac camber plates have been great. Those metal rings they supply with them are totally unnecessary, especially considering the problem I previously had with the rings not having the spacers they needed. The plates haven't gotten out of adjustment at all, they are just fine. The car...

Selling my mechanically sound 633CSi

The time has come for me to try and move on from my current e24. I know I'm gonna miss it, but in the future, I'll probably have an m635 to run around in. Unfortunately, in my boring suburban neighborhood, the type of in-depth work I want to do to this car is not possible. I'm happy to deliver it, b...

Selling/trading 633CSi in PA

As much as I would like to hold onto this car, I would also like to move on to something else for the moment (until I can get myself a pristine e24). If anyone is interested or knows someone who is, please pass this on to them.

Ignition Rotor misfire

My ignition rotor was disintegrating, so I replaced it with a new Bosch one. Took it for a drive, and it was great, no more misfires. It did seem to be intermittent before, and was always the worst at idle, so hopefully it NEVER comes back! I also didn't need to buy a new cap which was nice, just us...

Kmac

Got the kmac camber plates installed and set to max camber and caster. They seem to work good, however, they came with those top plates which just bend up if you try to tighten them at all, so I didn't use them. EDIT: Apparently, those plates should have spacers where the studs go, preventing any sp...

This is definitely one of the nicest ones I've seen. Must have had TLC overload. I would usually prefer a red interior and black exterior, but your car is equally good in my taste.

I don't think my car ever had a glovebox light. Just that little rechargeable flashlight that was past it's life. But nope, I haven't had any battery problems yet, however, I did get it recharged about 3 months ago. Still, I don't think there's any drain, since there's no lights shining while it's o...

I of course want to turn this into a project car again, hopefully before too long, because its current state is pretty ridiculous. But apart from new seats, the only interior I would really want is some door cards after I get the whole thing repainted, including interior I still haven't figured out ...

Yeah, it's doing great. I got it inspected, and it's back to being my primary car again since I sold the truck. Still running as reliable as ever, except the oil level sensor is leaking from the wire coming out of it, and oil stop-leak hasn't worked. Here's the current state. I park under a tree, so...

The car I worked on all summer long passed its PA inspection and emissions today!

So I'm good till October of next year at least. In a couple months, I'll have owned this car for two years! It's still as reliable as ever, and I hope to be able to turn it into something great in the near future.

That OBC brain sits under the dash nest to the hood release lever. The connector should be right there! fortunately, that was easy to find. At the time, I was thinking it should go on the passenger side, not drivers side. I have the car in a partially back together stage. I also figured out the mis...

the real Ol' Dirty Bastard

Car runs great, I temporarily put fenders and the front bumper on, and drove it around, and got it broken in again. The new shocks and springs are great!

Now I just have to clean everything up.

Well guys, nothing really new here. Just wanted to do a quick update, and let you know that I'll hopefully have a better one tomorrow. I got the control arms back from the shop today with the new bushings pressed in. $75 can you believe that, for 4 bushings... Oh well. I hope to get the whole front ...

Finally got all the struts together The fronts needed some "dust boot collars" because otherwise, the dust boots would slide down too far. So, while some people only see this (mason jar lid): http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r576/kiefsauls/Summer%20Project/DSC_0108.jpg I see THIS: http:...
