clean exhaust

Posted in BMW, Car Mods, E30 M3 on July 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »

While I was outside the other day, I thought I’d clean up the grungy exhaust tips on the E30. I haven’t really paid attention to them since I have a muffler waiting to go on, but with all the house stuff going on, car stuff is kind of on hold. So I just do little things here and there when I have a chance.

Finally replaced the old, grungy, and slightly leaky coolant expansion tank with a fresh one:
