I'd like to check out the rollcage in your car as I'm looking into one for mine.

What you had--
-45 Southbound around 3:30pm, you split on 94 East to MKE
-Crooked Borla Muffler
-Lowered Suspension
-stock looking wheels
-4-point bolt in cage


I was in the 325iX, if you're around contact me please -- nice car too, wish I was driving mine when I saw you.

When did you get the ix? Got Hakks?

got it a few months ago...don't have snow tires. Unless someone local has some cheapies I'll be running all seasons through the winter. Got the car, isn't that good enough? :)

did you do anything to your ix yet??? I know you have the mod bug.

Hey this is an aside, but i was wondering if youve ever done a rear wheel bearing?? haha im thinking of doing mine. Everyone tells me they are an absolute bitch to do but i dont know, with the right tools and the right amount of penetrating oil anything can be done right?

you definitely need the right tools. I have done them but on a hydraulic press with the trailing arms off the car, it was still a bitch to do.

I am not touching the iX, I just got the swapped car back in action and the iX will stay nice , stock, and reliable.

Give me a call, I need to get your book back to you

Now that you mention it... that book would be nice for my upcoming project. Maybe they have a write up in there... anyway how did the vanos workout?

Can you get together sometime this week? maybe over a beer or coffee? (prefferably coffee i have some weight i need to lose)

did the vanos swap, turned out I had plugged catalytic converters. fabricated a new exhaust and it's all good now, and sounds the part as well.

you can drink whatever you want, I can probably meet up on thursday evening or something. it's in my car so you can have it anytime.

damn that kinda sucks to go through all that work when it was just bad cats... oh well at least you have another vanos unit? I bet the engine flows alot better now.

Yeah, well cool, i'll give you a call Thursday, later man

good luck, i was going to do the rear bearing on my old e36, but decided against it because i didnt have the time. Mechanic who did do it, lost his two front teeth in the process
