A well sorted E36 m3 is a pure joy on the track. You can make it do just about anything, oh so benign and forgiving. It does not bite you as long as you know what you are doing.

Can SOMEONE tell me why TF this hose is $37?? RealOEM says its $8.07 but everywhere it's over $32. It's a vacuum hose with a blue stripe. All the other vacuum hoses are $3 a meter. WTF? Is it because it has that snazzy "heat" cover?

And thank you BMW for making a hose size not carried by my local parts store. Well done.

Because it's only used for three models, therefore supply/manufacturing is lower, raising it's cost and price.

Great job! I pretty much had the same adventure. Changed out the headlights, put all new KW coilovers, Mishimoto radiator, some new weather strip, powder coated the wheels, etc. I will post pics soon too.

Great job and skip the paint for now. I'm doing the same.
