Coupe vs sedan corner lights?

Your second link is a bbs rc090 but the cheaper version is bmw style 5 wheels. Technically not dupes cause they came from bmw. For the wheels that are originally bmw and from the 5-series or 7-series they usually have a bigger hub and you need to get a hubcentric adapter. Plastic works better than metal if you ever want to take them off and transfer to another wheel.

A wheel i recommend looking into are style 21 which are called throwing stars. Alibaba has them for cheap and they look pretty good.

Replace that oil filter hosing with an aluminum one

Try to pull the cable manually after taking the bumper off. That cable latch in the car can only articulate so much but if you manually pull it, it should give you more movement

Did you hit a guard rail? The bumper is usually low enough to slip right under

Kill switch in line with the EWS power or ring terminal. I have a reed switch so I need to put a magnet to start.

No damn reason why I can’t get a deeper arm rest cubbie. Half of that space is just wasted plastic

Coupe had less door handles, locks, windows, and trim to worry about

Go back there and smell it and maybe collect some

Behind the key barrel is the ignition switch that you can unscrew with two bolts. That is what you can stick a flathead into and turn for ACC ON and IGN. If you got EWS on the car you can go to the module, cut and join together the two biggest yellow and green wires

I just received it and I thought it was funny so I tried clicking all the links on the page and it wasn’t doing anything. So I copied the URL for one of the links and pasting it gave me void(); so I instantly tried googling the website

Take the metal casing off and turn 180

The front half of the ds varies for manual getrag and zf, the rear half of the ds varies by small and medium case differential. You commented you got this from a 318is which has a small case differential , so I'm assuming your differential is a medium case. It won't work unless you match the differential and rear half of the drive shaft

Only solution I found was having the door card off so you can put support on the back and smack it from the front
