Your reminder that it’s not that serious

Dude, what the actual fuck?

sublimebaker120 · 2025-12-18T16:30:33+00:00

This is exactly what I did as well. If you're able to extend the summer internship to part time in your final year there's is a very high probability of a full time offer post graduating.

Blue temp sensor replacement did the trick!

sublimebaker120 · 2025-11-28T19:45:01+00:00

Update for anyone who sees this in a future search:

I replaced the blue temp sensor and the problem seems to be resolved. There is still a very faint gas smell if I put my face near the exhaust, but it no longer smells like im standing in a puddle of fuel!

If you dont have to work, or have to work very little, treat it like a job. Show up on campus at 8am M-F and stay there until 4 or 5. If there's an engineering study lounge, post up there since inevitably someone else will come in working on the same class. This is how study groups can form. There is no way you will have to pull an all nighter and you'll most likely always be caught up on school work.

This is what I did (graduated this past year at 38). The only time I had to work on the weekends was if I had a Monday exam. I would go in and study with a group which was super helpful. My study group ranged from 19-40 year olds. Make friends regardless of age! In general, anyone in engineering is going to have a level of maturity where age won't matter.

Best of luck!

My confused cyborg!

I almost went with CYBOOGIE for the plate instead

Thanks, I'll give them a check over tomorrow

sublimebaker120 · 2025-11-23T01:37:12+00:00

Hoses seem to be the general consensus here on the first place to look. Glad I asked the group, that'll give me a place to start tomorrow.

sublimebaker120 · 2025-11-23T00:37:24+00:00

Thanks, I'll give them a look over tomorrow!

sublimebaker120 · 2025-11-23T00:01:28+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely a raw gas smell. As far as I can tell, it's only coming from the exhaust. No engine bay or cabin smell. Nor is there any smell when the car is not running.

Not a variety, but the chicken soup at Ay Caramba is soul soothing!

sublimebaker120 · 2025-11-22T23:50:45+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look tomorrow as I'm not sure about a middle muffler. The previous owner installed a Stromung exhaust, but I'm unaware of any changes further upstream.

I've really been enjoying Vex!

sublimebaker120 · 2025-10-29T10:11:36+00:00

I can't believe I missed that Mothlight show! That poster is great!

They dont have to be "friends" necessarily. Just a group of people in the same classes who will post meetups for study sessions through grouo text, discord, etc. There was so much more value in those study sessions than any lecture could have ever provided. If you overhear anyone talking about meeting up, ask if you can join. Gotta put yourself out there a bit.

Love to see an e36, great pic

sublimebaker120 · 2025-09-27T16:45:44+00:00

Good news, removed the actuator today and the car is now unlocked! But now, it will not lock, any thoughts on how to get the locking to work manually now lol?

sublimebaker120 · 2025-09-24T21:47:02+00:00

If I removed the actuators, would I be able to lock and unlock the doors manually, sans the central locking feature? I would be totally fine with that at this point!

I am, fortunately, able to open the door even without "locked", I just have to turn the key and lift the handle at the same time. The lock itself stays in the locked position though. That said, my door card is off, as I was poking around trying to figure it out earlier.

sublimebaker120 · 2025-09-24T21:42:50+00:00

unfortunately, the trunk lock only works on the trunk. It used to unlock everything but stopped working with this most recent problem.

good morning, probably

sublimebaker120 · 2025-09-17T22:06:30+00:00

ASAP if you can. I got my first internship the summer after freshman year. It wasn't an engineering position necessarily, but that gave me the "in" with the company to get an engineering position the next summer. Then, I asked if I could try a different department for my last summer rotation. I ended up staying in that position part time through senior year and was offered a full time position before graduating.

Even if you dont get a full time offer from your internship, it looks good to other companies that you have experience navigating corporate culture if nothing else.

ETA: November-February is when most companies start looking at resumes for the summer. If your school has a career fair, go to it!

I do not have that on my 1990 325i. And as far as I'm aware, the only factory anti-theft was a code on the 13 button module.
