    Some 'meh' photos w/ the new brakes

    This car really needs a machine polishing. I'm still trying to find half my detailing stuff after the move.


    171k miles and still going, looking to cross 200k before I either do something stupid like a coyote swap or more likely part it out and save the good stuff for my red car.

    Hey Ryan, looks really good for 171K! What else would you want for a daily driver? Go for 350K!

    Especially after all that brake work!... brakes look killer! by the way...

    ....don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good....

    I do over 100 miles a day from PA to NJ and back, I'd like to get a 01-03 530i eventually but I have a friend offering me a cheap 04 325i which would make a good to/from car. Either one of those can tap 30 highway while not feeling like a penalty box to drive.

    Tires I wager have another year or so out of them with how many miles I drive, they came off my red car so they've mainly been indoors. Yes they're up in years but they don't have any dry cracking or anything.

    They're better than what the car was wearing when I bought it

    tires were date code 2009 iirc, I bought the car in 2015

    I'd wager this is also why the LSD clutches came out in pieces when I finally rebuilt that

    Car looks great! I'm about to change out my 13yo, 16k mile tires on my MM. Recently changed out 13yo, 40k mile tires on my Ranger and 14yo, 30k mile tires on my Mustang - a world of difference. Buying Coopers for the first time ever, due to ratings and customer satisfaction...
