The BMW DD is coming together nicely- I've taken several trips to KC (about 45 miles) and a lot of around town driving. I must say it is a joy to drive (Not Boxster Joy) but a very good driver- with Diesel truck torque!
Thus far I have replaced the entire suspension/steering components front and rear (except springs and struts) they are up next. All hoses, many gaskets, many bushings, a few computer boards, thermostat and housing, water pump, catalytic converter and exhaust manifold gaskets, power steering pump, and clutch master cylinder- very easy car to work on and parts are cheap(er) than my other German sweetheart.
