    Wanted: e3 front windshield

    Thank you for all the great suggestions everyone. Here's a summary of my findings: -Mesa Performance: No used windshields or source for new. I was referred to local installer who does old cars, and he also couldn't locate one. -La Jolla Independent: No luck with Carl and no suggestions -Glass...

    Wanted: e3 front windshield

    Thanks Dick for the advice! I’ve asked my usual SoCal sources, including Carl Nelson, Mesa Performance, and another that has found me a lot of Bavaria parts in the past. I’ve tried 1 windshield installer recommended to me for old cars, but he couldn’t find one either. Overall, no luck so far...

    16 x 8 BBS style five wheels

    If you're talking about the 16x8 e38 style 5's, I ran those for years with 225x50's all around. For the particular tire I ran, I had to use a 7mm spacer to clear front strut. Since my car is lowered, I had to be careful to not fully crank the wheel when making sharp turns entering/exiting...

    Thanks for the compliments everyone! Curt's son, Eric, actually owned the car for several years before I purchased it. Eric is still a very good friend of mine, is a car guy himself following his dad's footsteps, and currently manages Bavarian Professionals in Berkley. A little more history...

    Afeustel, they are non-staggered 17x8 Style 5's with 225/45/17's all around. I do have to run a 3mm spacer up front to clear the struts. If they look staggered, it may be because I'm running a 15mm spacer out back, just enough to fill out the large gap in between the tire and fender caused by...

    Body side molding

    Here's a picture of the clips I purchased new about 2yrs ago from I think Jim at Mesa Performance in Costa Mesa, CA. The push-in pin mentioned above can be seen in the picture. Also, when i was looking around, some were sold including the thin gasket pictured on the left (which I opted for)...

    Heater Core Leak?

    Thoughts on this gunk on my heater core? This is a view looking up through the driver's floor vent. It is not wet (after a few recent drives), and in the 10 years i've owned the car, it has never really had issues losing coolant. I looked because I once or twice thought I smelled coolant with...

    Tail Panel Gasket?

    Took it apart and my panel has some type of rubber/foam around it as seen in the picture. Based on how old deteriorated it is, who know if it was from the factory or someone else adding it a long time ago. Regardless if its factory, I'll probably replace it with some self adhesive closed-cell...

    Tail Panel Gasket?

    It’s definitely exhaust fumes and yes, no sunroof. I’ll have to dig around more. Since bad trunk seals can cause this, i figured the air path I mentioned also can. I’ve read several posts elsewhere (maybe related to 2002’s or other cars) where when the window is cracked open, some type of...

    Tail Panel Gasket?

    Does anyone know if there is a gasket for the aluminum tail panel (part #8) that goes in between the trim and the body? I can't seem to find one anywhere in the various parts diagrams. I've been getting light exhaust fumes into the cabin. Using an air compressor to blow air in between the...
