    You guys know how the pinstriping goes to the end of the car then swoops up and goes across the top edge of the trunk lid? Well the trunk part was really worn and missing in sections and the rest of it is fine and I really like the way the striping looks on my car so ... I took off all the striping off the trunk and eliminated the curve up towards it. So now the stripes end straight above the taillight. If anything, it looks even cleaner. I'd post a pic but my camera is with my parents half way across the world, so it will have to wait.

    I also washed it, cleaned the windows, cleaned the interior, conditioned the seats ... it's fantastically clean.

    Oh yeah, I also ordered some yellow fog bulbs and some pure white halogens for the lows (with as many issues as I had with HIDs in the e34, I'm gonna hold off on them for now).

    +1 on the Bosch Icons, had Silverstars in my oem headlights and couldn't see a thing with them, love my HIDs even if they are Apexcones.

    your headlights are the first one-pieces that haven't made me cringe, from that angle they don't look so terrible.

    pull the ebrake boot off and and there will be two studs with two nuts on it. they are 6mm and 11mm i believe. You must loosen the smaller one that on top so that you can tighten the other bolt. There are two adjustment studs and the one of the left controls the left side parking brake and vice versa. Put your self on a hill to test it but be careful. It should be about 2 clicks and the park brake indicator will turn on and then after 4 clicks it should engage and 5 should be even more and 6 should be more and then 7 and 8 are for steep hills but remember to turn your wheels on a slope just incase.
