She's back on the road!!!
« on: March 09, 2013, 10:43:09 PM »
After replacing all those parts and getting her cleaned up I am happy to say she is back on the road. Running and handling like new!
Cleans up nicely for being 22yrs old and 366k miles! In salt heavy Ohio no-less?!

Looks great! I can't believe it has that many miles and looks that good.

What did you come up with to replace the connector pipe?

Handed $42 over to the guy at the local bmw dealer...

They gave me a 15% 'old car' discount?

That does seem a bit pricey, but considering what a gas leak (or worse) costs I'm sure it's worth the peace of mind.

That's really nice of them...BMW does a pretty decent job with older spares, from what I've seen.

If it was my car, it'd be more like a 15% "get that car off my lot it's scaring away the customers" discount.
