My rear breaks started to make that wird noise, pointing towards the rear break pad replacement... BUT THERE IS NO BULB IN THE DASH lighting this issue.

Knowing that this BMW has a pad wear sensor I assumend that something is wrong so I decided to take out the insturment cluster to see what's up...



Bad news... in order to sell it, the previous owner took out some of the bulbs from the cluster. To be more specific, he took out JUST those bulbs that were ON, signaling that the car has to see a doctor..
This sneaky owner took out the pad wear sensor, the check-engine light, and one more but I forgot exactly which one..

I was pretty mad obviously, and thought that only in my country people do stuff like this... Well.. it looks like I was wrong!!

Took the car to the shop, obviously rear pads have to be replaced, while the check engine light was on due to a missfire on 1 cillinder (I am assuming it's one of the spark plugs) and also because the same asshole previous owner cut all of the oxygen sensors when he decided to mount this "amazing" exhaust on the car....

......

To fix the whole braking issue, I decided to order all 4 rotors + 8 pads.. while the missfire and oxygen sensors are on the TO DO list..

Also fedex guy made my day a little brighter when he showed up with another package for my baby..

///M3 door molding trim and front strut bar arrived.








Strut bar did not fit because of my ASC unit... I sold it the same day to a friend and decided that whenever I will remove that unit I will also purchase another strut, that is also of a better quality..

I don't know what to say about the white wheels though... I think it will look a little bit too much ...

what kind of lowering springs are they?

I don't know exactly.. They might be ebay stuff, I bought the car like this so don't know much about them... All I can say is that they are blue and do not look stock Anyways they will be gone soon as I ordered new coilovers. Updates will be soon!

Were you at the meet on friday?

[edirty6eddie]

When you find out what they are, let me know, I'm interested in them. And unfortunately no, I went with my dad to look at a new car for him, and on the way back i saw 595 was backed up terribly, and i have no patience for traffic lol. But hopefully this friday coming up I will be!

This friday I hope that I'll go there again.

Cheers.
