touring II

new wheels. 2002 BMW e46 325i, auto.

 

manual tranmissions in these vehicles are unobtanium ex-japan.

 

no, it did not come off the lot like this. is it OCD to wash, dry, and then claybar, and then wash again? And then wash the next morning, polish, and then wax? it certainly brought back the depth and shine after ten years in Japan. I think I burned some calories, too.

 

I'll spend the next few months sorting out a little neglect, and getting it completely sorted. now the exterior's looking good, I need to detail the interior, and eliminate 'eau de japanese cigarettes'. then sunroof shade, cabin filter, plugs, water pump, fuel guage sender, and a few other things. it's just had brake hoses, fuel filter, oil and air filter, and some gentle fettling.

 

I like it.
