It was ridiculous. A lot of the crimped & messy wires ended up going to the heater and fan switches, eventually found the ones I needed for the head unit & now it all works! ...except now I found that my automatic antenna doesn't extend and retract itself. traded one problem for another

air jail

saab needs 4 new shocks (kind of already guessed that) and bushings for the torsion beam, then should be ready for inspection and registration!!

was worried about a coolant leak but the tank level has stayed put for a few days, and a few hundred kms.

I love these cars.

In 2022 BMW M turned 50 years old.

I created the BMW 3.0 CSL artwork to honour this milestone.

Truth is, I haven't looked back at this artwork in detail since.

Always full "far away" image.

And pretty often too, since I have a shirt with this artwork.

But I never again saw it in detail.

Wow 🔥
