Thanks guys. I've been browsing thru the threads and living on YouTube as I work through the fixes I need. I've found that the prior owner wasn't as a devoted to maintenance as I am. For example, the intake air filter still and the Sept 04 date code on it. C'mon man.........

So from the PPI, I've crossed off a bunch of items that I did last weekend:

replaced right front fender lower splash guard (under side of the bumper cover must have wipe out a curb)
replaced the control arm bushings (used the gear puller, it's a snap)
replaced cabin and intake air filters
bought the missing tow hook and a wheel alignment tool
replaced the console storage tray (scratched beyond belief)
replaced missing right front fog cover
replaced all 4 missing jack pads
replaced the junk after market floor mats with OEM
replaced the gas cap that was dried and cracking
replaced the streaking wipers (the old one's were the wrong size)
replace all the interior bulbs with LED's (what a difference). Just need to do the 2 trunk cargo lights which were a longer size than the interior

Still to go this weekend:

replace the fuel filter
replace the side faded white turn signals

Remaining to-do's:

3 of the style 135 wheels are bent but roll ok (2 of the have been welded). Looking for a set..........
headlights point in weird directions at night and bounce up over bumps (I'll check the sensors first. Bulb Housing seems solid)

looks like as a rookie member I can't post pics. Anyone know how many posts are needed before I can do that?

[BMWCurves]

Good work!

[pedro2u]

Actually, I also had my Indy do brakes/tranny/diff flush. Looking for a clean slate

[Oli77]

There is no minimum number of posts needed before you can post pics. I find using tapatalk the easiest thing to do where you can upload your pic from your phone to the ZHP server (using the link picture function IIRC).

[Oli77]

There is a discussion about that here. (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?20509-Photobucket-what-happened&highlight=party+hosting)

[pedro2u]

Thanks for that link. I'll take a look

I just posted in a different thread and it allowed me to post a picture though. But in this particular thread, the manage attachments option is not there in the Advanced posts, and at the bottom of this page it says:

You may not post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may not edit your posts

So not sure if only the new member thread has this restriction

[Oli77]

Hmmm, maybe things have changed and I didn't pay attention. Soon Dane will chime in with the correct answer then.
It is strange because I just realized that I cannot edit my own posts either (while I was able to do that in the past 5-6 years).

[Oli77]

Yep, something is up because I also see this at the bottom in advanced:

You may not post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may not edit your posts

Are you sure you're signed into the forum?

I'm logged in

Oli77 said he sees the same message at the bottom of the page here as I do. Are you seeing this there:

And I just posted to the General ZHP thread and it's not the same:

Unbelievable on the dated filter. Maybe it sat at the part store until 2015 when he purchased it?

the clogged cabin air filter was also original. This car was listed on the CARFAX as being for sale in late 2009 as a CPO at a BMW dealer where it was purchased by the owner I bought it from. And since it had bumper to bumper maintenance 5yr/5K miles back then, somewhere in there you'd think it would have been changed. Every oil change I've ever had done on any car they showed me my air filter and tried to sell me a new one...........

I'm changing the fuel filter this weekend. It's original too

[Oli77]

Fwiw, I am signed in and can't edit my previous posts. What's up a Dane?
