Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

How convenient. This car would replace the E46. I've done a terrible job of posting about all the repairs I've done, as that car has been constantly broken since I got it. During the brief periods that it does work, it runs low 15s, but does actually drive fairly well, so there's that. Replacing a G...

Re: "New" Home Servere

No, it isn't compatible with Win 11 but I also refuse to go on the Linux bandwagon at home (mostly because it's not interesting to me). It doesn't have to be interesting, it just has to run/access the applications you want. Is O365 stuff supported? On the web, yes. Native, no. Some people say the a...

"New" Home Servere

I'm a big fan of re-purposing things or upgrading old things vs. buying new ones. For years I've been using old machines for other tasks or otherwise playing "trickle down electronics" when one component is upgraded on a machine. Up until recently, I've been using my old desktop (C2Q-based...

01 BMW 325 Ci Center Console Armrest Replacement

The plastic broke, because of course it did. Fortunately China has replacement covers available for ~$25 so I ordered one. It's even "leather"! Here's the stock one. The cover material has actually held up well, but the structure didn't. You can see the broken ears at the rear of the conso...

01 325 Ci Front Struts

It's going to be a new car soon. I didn't take take that many (or good?) photos, but it's all pretty self explanatory if you're familiar with Macphereson strut front suspensions. The struts weren't leaking yet, but did make an audible squish/hiss sound when going over bumps. Based on how they perfor...

Re: 01 BMW 325Ci Power Window Switch Failure

It worked, turns out I didn't need to pay for extra fast shipping. Oh well. Here are some photos: Step 1: locate console. 20210805_063118.jpg The shifter boot pops out and you can access a couple screws that hold the plastic in. 20210805_063029_HDR.jpg You can then pop the console cover out in order...
