Yes they were a custom order. I can find out from the owner if he remember the fabric code if you want.

Fan clutch failure and overheating FTMFL.
I can only hope that I caught it in time. I have a bad feeling I blew the head gasket. I'm afraid about a cracked block too

Sorry to hear. Hope it isn't as bad as it appears now.

The car is 13 years old. Throwing that kind of money into a car that old (at least to me) doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
I am really pissed off at the mechanic I sent the car to for the PPI. He completely missed the obvious trailing arm bushings being shot and now the parts he supposedly replaced crapped out w/in two years (at the most).

Doubt he knew though, didnt the previous owner only have the car for a few months?
Trailing arm bushing should have been caught though. Ah the joys of E36 ownership.

Installed some LUX led angel eyes. Pretty close to how the new 5er looks like. Pics dont show it though.

With a kid coming possibly mid-next year...the wife takes over the FX and I just may want a new chariot.

The new X3 is indeed not bad! But, if you price it out fully...you may as well get a 5er.
Mmmm...choices.
Anyhow, back to the 3-Series chatter!

Not a CSL, but a LTW. Extremely rare though to see them come up for sale. My buddy has one that he found at a government auction of all places. They're nice, but I always laugh at cars like this were you pay more for them to give you less in the car.

Yeah, you're paying for the rarity and "uber-ness".
