I did the Ps hoses earlier this year, and those 2 lines by the cooler were very nasty.
After finding it was vary hard to pull them off (after loosening the cooler itself) I decided to just cut them up.
What a pain in the @#&!!!! those little bitches had embedded steel wires running lengthwise!
Note that my car is an early '82 528i; YMMV.

My 3/85 528i had that. I was angry. My 7/75 530i had normal hoses too. 3/75 date codes on them.

Had it towed only to have it fire right up when it got home. It's been a shitty day.

Finally got around to fixing what was would be fire roasted e28, if it hadn't been solved.
This POS was removed...
Image
and after cleaning the connectors, a new (correct) battery was put in place.
Image
Have to say if I hadn't posted on this forum, I wouldn't have realized this problem.
So Thanks Guys!

That battery looks EXACTLY like the Interstate I have in the M535i.

Took out my Lama power comfort seats and replaced them with Black Recaro SE's mounted to manual comfort bases. Any one looking for Lama?

Ordered a new euro tail panel from the dealer, last week I ordered new m-tech flares from the dealer too.

I also washed the car today for the first time in a few months...I love white.

Finally removed the last stud holding in the 4,5,6 header (broken) using the proper tools and techniques.

Santa didn't bring me a lift or an engine hoist, so I have the install to look forward to.

My son tried to drive it to work this morning but couldn't open the doors; frozen shut.

Image

It hasn't been driven since it got snowed on a few days ago; Monday the temps warmed up enough to melt some of that snow, then the we got some sub-zero weather, and I'm afraid those door seals are firmly attached to the door jambs. It'll have to wait until things warm up a little. It's 0° F right now, but we should see a sunny 28 tomorrow; that ought to do the trick!

And yes, I did the other side too!
