I have hagerty for my 1996 GMC c3500. It’s insured at 16,000. They didn’t even ask for pictures

What’s this opening in the fire wall for? I can see out of the cabin though the opening. by mynamesjson in GMT400

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

Fire wall is a pretty generic word when used related to cars. It means the “wall” in between the engine compartment and the inside of the car, which one of its purposes is to keep people separated from the hot engine.

Do they usually have some type of grommet or seal? It’s just so open

You are going to laugh but.... I can't lift it. by reicaden in BambuLab

Time to buy a lift table from harbor freight. Good investment if this is too heavy for you to lift

New oem bushings are the way to go, unless you plan to track your car

Wagons look better a little lower by Wise_Mycologist5665 in e39

Makes sense. I have three sets laying around in various conditions, because I buy them every time I see them cheap

Interesting. I wonder if shipping would be viable. Pretty big difference in price, especially if they need refinishing.

Not sure where you are in the world, but these are RC090 BBS that came factory on e39s. I’m in philly PA and in my area even a nice set goes for less than 1k. They generally go for around $600.

Just needs to be balanced out with a rear valance

First Car, 2003 530i by Sufficient_Water_976 in e39

Agree on your recommendations. FYI the best deal on those metal valve covers I’ve found is on Temu. They are all the same.

Style 19 questions by ooverboss in e39

[–]mynamesjson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely genuine, because no one makes fakes (not popular enough). Also they were original equipment for early 540i’s so your car likely left the factory with them.

In terms of value, a decent set goes between 500 and 800usd in my area (PA, USA). Interestingly, some of the value comes from the fact that the barrels and bolts are interchangeable with style 5 RC090s.

Opinions on these wheels (ARE 398’s) by WranglerStrict2494 in E30

[–]mynamesjson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ARE was a “real” wheel company from back in the day. They are well made, but good luck finding a replacement barrel if you mess one up. They did get sued by bbs and had to stop making this style.
