So what's on people's agenda for next year?
Mine: wire up rear elec blind and heated seats, might do that this week :D
And then seriously contemplating fitting a Msport 1 kit to it and a full respray. I've no intentions of getting rid of it soon and it's the only thing that lets it down. Apart from an S54 transplant any other engine in the range wouldn't do it for me for the want of changing.
I will report back tomorrow [emoji6]
Good thinking on your E46, that's a great car.
Refurb the wheels, 12mm spacers on the rear, new tyres for front, few new bits of interior trim to freshen it up, tax her and maintain her :crying:
Have really contemplated selling my E36, have it 4 years in Jan. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. So that'll be seeing some KMH clocks. (Need to get them reset to correct mileage) OBC Retrofit, New Steering Wheel and whatever else takes my fancy.
The Z3, Need to find a set of Style32 (E36 front/E39 rear) and a hardtop.
Sierra will be receiving lots it TLC, Bodywork/Paint, Gearbox Rebuild and lots more. :D

For the e36:

- Have the overly polished MotorSports refurbed to an OEM finish.
- Fit the starter motor that's been on the shelf for two years! I also have a stick pile of trim pieces that need to go on

Stretch goal items:
- Consider a retrim of the soft top.
- Eisenmann back box.
For the 630i:
- New SMG hydraulic pump.
- Replace alarm siren batteries.
- New front discs and pads.
- Keep it clean.
For the M6:
- Might consider a replacement...then again maybe not!
OEM exhaust mod, get the sound the V8 should have.
For mine is
Get new alloys wheels need ideas as I don't want to go oem wheels
Get some coilovers
Sort the rusty front wings and rust spot on driver side sill
Tint rear windows
Retrofit projecter headlights
And last but least replace rocker cover gasket and find the water leak
E46 put oem suspension back in big service and tax
e30 tax and find time to use them
Going to refurb the 19s, replace the bolts, and get the bumpers and bonnet resprayed :)
Clear a few small debts. Fit new wardrobes. Get driveway widened. Get new kitchen & extension. Paint sitting room. Get new double glazed windows fitted.
Might not sound car related, but once that's all out of the way I can replace the M3. Do have a new 1 series arriving in Feb which should be fun.
Replace the compact in the next short while..been a great car for nearly 4 years in fairness...need a daysul for daily duty
Find the time to detail it!
Get the rust on the arch seen too and paint the front and rear bumper while it's been done
Refurb the wheels
Tax it, put petrol in it, and enjoy for for another 12k miles or so! :)
Had been considering a change, as I'll have it 6 years come May, but there is very little out there that can tempt me away from it...and even if there was, I'd still do my best to hang onto it. Store it and tax it for 3 or 6 months of the year!
First of all for the e39,m5 diff,m5 exhaust,m50 manifold,short shift,celis rear lights,seats refurbed,then turbo kit[emoji16] .before all that ive to get the head ported and polished and skimmed on my ae86,then get my new omex ecu fitted and mapped,then tax and nct both cars and maybe try and save ah feck it you only live once[emoji15] [emoji1]

Would love to get a carbon airbox for it! Can't really think of anything else, unless the old man decides to sell his own car! Also have a hankering for a 123d coupe if I start doing big mileage

I have a parts list made up and will be ordering bits in the New Year.

But of both I suppose! Just a very clean and tight car in generalQuote:

E92 - annual checkover by Conor and then in early for the NCT, not due till March.

Get both cars a good cleaning, maybe a detail if I can arrange it. Between work and kids even washing it is becoming challenging. :-(
Ohlins are expensive for motorbikes I can only imagine the cost for a car !!!Quote:

They're about €2,500 and you use the OEM suspension mounts. So they're not as expensive as you'd think really.Quote:

With the Lord as my witness my E36 shall be back on the road this year just not in time for the wedding as planned because of the usual reliability one gets from those involved in the motor trade eg. unreliable bodyshops.....
And we will have to buy something else post wedding either as constantly tending to the E34 and her Mk5 Golf would anyone to an early grave!
