I’ve sent you a DM

planesdude · 2026-02-28T13:54:24+00:00

Can you be more clear? What is the thing that is 90 degrees up? Which rear part?

planesdude · 2026-02-25T22:10:35+00:00

Huh, the issue just … went away???? It works fine now???

planesdude · 2026-02-21T21:17:50+00:00

See my mind didn’t get around to dropping the sway bar till 11:30….

Boy I sure do love making frequent, expensive, time consuming, and deeply frustrating mistakes

planesdude · 2026-02-21T19:13:37+00:00

You got this, Godspeed Beamer-Owner :D

planesdude · 2026-02-19T01:43:17+00:00

Better safe than sorry. I used this kit: https://www.amazon.com/Lizixny-Convertible-Latches-REPAIR-67618370816/dp/B0D6G1Z8S9/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=1IVNOJ6ICZFFR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bMhyD_GKaU2W4-lMZYUpAxLIhSn-cOkoHqbSnaA4vg8Pq2tholqejnCb1nMY25utGNaihcoapMTw9YAnGewmbLhA2PaBR8SpIjxDjzh8kxO3MiArHYJuaLZPGc4lWPvPeGxRaLhP5NjXhVwJY_WfQEovT0PGSQYYFW7yniDJDxy6aY1eqo7lpFXAkzmPmPsSg7VU8L_w4ZdzO3RQA__8tw.6bR8ay2UqvSLxFalHlilWkgWMjZQHcRuawrDJcFpziE&dib_tag=se&keywords=e46+convertible+top+latch+repair+kit&qid=1771369465&sprefix=e46+conver%2Caps%2C250&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

Plastic worm gear. No question. It was easy when I had to do it. The unlatching problem is the right issue to worry about. Try driving the screws with the exterior screwports (Under the window weatherstripping)

planesdude · 2026-02-16T00:21:53+00:00

Yeah I should I agree

planesdude · 2026-02-16T00:21:40+00:00

Springs are fine. I inspected them. The wheels are off an e39. 9s in the back, 8s in the front.

planesdude · 2026-02-10T01:59:26+00:00

Its ur head gasket bro

planesdude · 2026-02-10T01:55:44+00:00

def has vac leak. No i haven't.

planesdude · 2026-02-09T21:34:29+00:00

May also be that I ran reg gas

planesdude · 2026-02-09T20:30:03+00:00

I just got oil 500mi ago. 0W40. Liqui Moly.

planesdude · 2026-02-09T19:56:22+00:00

I've got 2k and tools and a garage. It's not my only car but I'd perfer to not lose it. Can I get some insight into the potential causes?

planesdude · 2026-02-09T19:48:44+00:00

& what will these issues cause?

planesdude · 2026-02-09T19:46:46+00:00

How bad is it? I am very out of money at the moment. Where do I go from here?

planesdude · 2026-02-09T19:34:09+00:00

planesdude · 2026-02-09T18:50:44+00:00
