New Struts and Shocks

As previously mentioned, the shocks and struts were shot when I picked up the car. I assume they were original to the car so they were probably 40,000 miles past due for replacement. I found a great deal from bavauto and go the front struts for $159 each and the rear for around $100 each. Since the factory bump stops were also falling apart on the rear and gone on the front, I picked up a set of boots and bump stops from Harrison. I managed to get them all swapped out late this afternoon. Looks like I'm on schedule to have it back on the ground Thursday after work.

The replacement bulbs I ordered for the on board computer (OBC) showed up about 30 minutes ago. I swapped out the bulb over the clock portion of the OBC, turned the key on, and sure enough, clock works perfectly now. As I suspected, the memo function was turned on (indicator for the memo function is in the clock portion of the display) so that was causing an anoying tripple beep at the same number of minutes after the hour, every hour....

Tomorrow evening I will rebuild the brake calipers and get everything bolted back up and ready to bleed the system.
