The sound of a purring M20 is something I will never get tired of hearing.

especially the ETA, honestly.

Getting that right side control arm out through the subframe is probably one of my least favourite E30 jobs. I remember the first time I did it was in a friends driveway because I didn't really have a place to work and oh boy... We were out there very late. I felt bad for the neighbors. Between the right combination of extensions and wobble sockets to clear the exhaust and actually getting that ball joint out of the subframe, it just isn't fun.

yeeeep! first time I had to do that was in a parking lot in the summer. just awful.
