Almost dead alternator managed to kill my battery over the weekend. Threw a new Optima Redtop in there and waiting for an alternator to show up tomorrow morning. Nothing like being 170miles from home in a broken car with only the BMW tool kit lol ---

Im ordering tires next week, because i forgot to this week lol. And Im giving my friends at Bag Riders a little time to provide me with an eta before I go buy coilovers. Id say by the end of April, I’ll have one or the other on the way to me. Perferably plan A, because I have all my air parts piled up in my dining room. ---
