Completely accidental double exposure on my RB67. I was using a non-Pro back so I forgot about the two stage winding. 🤪 still came out pretty cool, imho. (ilford XP2)

[Question] Currently running 13.1 (v1) and I’m wondering: Did they tweak the image processing? I’m not sure if it’s a placebo or not but the images from my XS Max look way better than usual. Sharper, more contrasty, etc.

Did my valve cover gasket, only to drop this nut in my spark plug chamber while trying to put my coils back in. Any advice on getting it out? The 3 different magnets I used are too wide to fit between the plug and the chamber.

And so begins Day 1 of the project E36. First mission is cleaning and replacing the VCG, changing the plugs and seeing if she’ll turn over. Previous owner thought it was a fueling issue, but one look at the VCG and destroyed plugs made me think otherwise. Gallery below.

bought a E39 today. On the drive home, I was greeted with a “check brake fluid” and DSC light. Found this hose leak. It feels like a pretty simple fix but I’m new (as hell) to this kinda thing. From googling, I assume I just need the two hoses, 11mm wrench, some plugs and a bleed afterwards. Advice?

Currently sitting on the m-sport suspension, but debating on getting some coilovers or another brand of struts and springs for some better handling. Any recommendations? I don’t want to go full race car, just something a bit more precise.

Looking for my first project car. Currently own an E39 540i daily, but want something smaller to throw around in the twisties. Found this bad boi and wanted to know what you guys thought. I got him down to $1500, it’s an auto (plan on swapping down the road) with 129k miles. ‘87 325e

Alright pals, I’m new here but as an E39 owner, I feel like we’re already close. Anyways, I’m currently driving a 02 540i sport and I love it, but I miss the sound of straight sixes. I also want to learn how to drive stick and do a bit more wrenching (which I’m currently learning with this 540 lol).
