    I'd send it back for a full refund My experience with IE is they have crappy Chinese manufacturers that don't know their way around a car, or welder. I fought fitting a full IE stainless exhaust system for my son's 2002 and I could never get it to fit. The downpipe was too short, the center resonator always hit the tranny tunnel wall, etc. Very frustrating and I wish I had junked the whole thing and boxed it back to them. My impression is its a way to generate $ for racing. I'm looking for a header for my M30, they and Supersprint are about the only ones available, and I'm going to wind up spending way more for a quality product that fits.

    Respectively disagree. A tanking market can lead to all kinds of issues in the economy. Scared people don’t act rationally. Over priced collectibles like cars generally are @ sign things are getting out of hand.

    I will be bringing Italian Weber 40 DCOE2's, side draft intake manifolds, sun visors, various speakers never installed, e36 center console, couple sections brand new knee trim, and whatever else I can find!

    In 1978, my wife to be and I were skiing in Lake Tahoe. My mom and dad had driven to Kirkwood Meadows in their RV and we were supposed to meet up with them. Now I hate, and I mean hate putting chains on tires. It was snowing like mad when we left Tahoe on the way to Kirkwood. At the time I owned a Chamonix 1970 2002, skinny tires, single barrel carb, an awesome car. We wound up virtually plowing the road for a good part of the way to Kirkwood. The snow started off about 6" deep in Tahoe and eventually about 12" deep in the parking lot at Kirkwood. The road to Kirkwood has a good enough climb that it was do not stop territory, I'd never get going again without chains. The car never skipped a beat the entire way. I miss that car.....

    Live and learn. first motor I rebuilt in the 70’s I wound up with a bearing about an inch in diameter with a 1/2” inside diameter. I was stumped. I asked a good friend what it was and he asked me if I installed the pilot bearing………

    I’m an hour south of Seattle am willing to go just about anywhere i once bought an e92 out of Colorado Springs and drove it home. A bit of an adventure and a fun trip. I also bought a 2004 X3 in 2005 and drove it home from Dallas

    my diff was sold to me over ebay years ago by a group that races 2002's they essentially created an LSD inside a stock 2002 diff case so there are no external markings to indicate an LSD

    this is not a fail safe method I have a lsd in my tii and the wheels spin in opposite directions I don't believe my lsd is that worn, either, as it acts exactly as it should when driving

    I had the 4 post and it was awesome. not sure why/what the attraction is with 2 post lifts. additional installation effort required and there is nothing you can't do on a 4 post that you can do on a 2 post.
