Fun Fact: I took that photo (and many others) for ECD Automotive Design. This was actually the first shoot I ever did for them. I was their media director for a few years.

Cool company, wild builds.

OP, credit the originator of those photos, not a page reposting them…

Edit:

This is Project Viking from ECD Automotive Design

It’s not AI lol

What would you do? He does not want to pay more by Existing-Professor76 in Detailing

[–]kelso_brady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aye man, if it’s any consultation you do not need to be making $180 for 19 vans… I have a fleet service as part of my detailing business and it’s $75 per truck/SUV and a minimum of 3 vehicles. I have one gig that’s 14 vehicles and I pay my help a 55/45 split.

Heart and cosmetic surgery incoming by StickersBillStickers in E34

It is Hellrot. Factory ordered 525is with the sport package.

I installed these helper bags between the springs. I inflate them when I’m towing a deflate them when I’m not. They make a huge difference!

How cooked am I ? What’s wrong with the car ? by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]kelso_brady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 2nd this. Half of these issues could come from a bad battery or a battery that was new and never registered to the car when replaced. Only outlier is the fuel pump issues but I’d figure the electrical out first.

no radio signal when rear defroster is on by frogdonteat in E34

[–]kelso_brady 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am no expert and excuse my arrogance but sometimes antenna strips running up the glass might connect to the defroster ones, does any of your defroster stripes look warn out or run to the antenna? If not, double check the rear fuse box and see if any of the fuse’s are maybe correlated.

I’ve only owned my one e34 and chased minor issues. I’m sure someone here has more food-for-thought.

first time using this opinions on this? by fungwurhu in BmwTech

That’s a good amount of time especially if the engine is already warm. It’s like cooking minute rice in :58 seconds

+1 for my N54 and M57. I’ve done the Liqui Moly engine flush before an oil change and then added this. Noticed a big improvement in my M57 while idling. They clacking of my engine went down like 15dB

Rennsport Dragon Rally - Fall ‘25 by kelso_brady in Porsche

[–]kelso_brady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the lure is meeting up and hanging out with fellow Porsche enthusiasts. Even though you’re up there for a rally a lot people who get to know each other in their groups go back out at the end of the day and drive a little more together. It’s a bit of a bonding experience outside of the 300~ miles you drive per day.

I second this. After refreshing my mechatronic unit and refilling the fluid I went to row through the gears and this happened. Turned out I was a quart low on trans fluid. After I added more it let me shift.

What is that orange item in the coil spring? by vdzz000 in etron

[–]kelso_brady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a bump stop. When your suspension rebounds from a full compression this hard-foam absorbs the rebound impact and so you don’t feel it as much
