This is my 1999 BMW 320i E46, built in March of that year in Bavaria. Above you see it a few days ago in front of the shop I always work at. Amazingly the summer tires on the signature 68M 5 spoke wheels

When 3D printers work they amaze. But even the most reliable machines (in this case, prusa mk2) can fail. ... and usually on hour 7 of an 8 hour print.

Today we'll replace a faulty rear window regulator on my E46 BMW. Operation is specific to the rear, will do front in a separate blog as it is quite more complicated in front. This works on any late 90s

After a long break due to some RL obligations I'm back at it, today with the following updates: Starting here I separated the door and aligned the geometry to the main body: Added the door handle and side

This was my 2005 E350, good old, complex and pretty damn solid luxury barge straight from Stuttgart. I been driving the livin' daylights out of it and also using its practical aspects quite a bit... That's

Before providing a more general update on what's been happening on my faithful compagnion on the road to 400.000km I wanted to provide a tutorial for anyone wishing to replace or upgrade their steering

The following is the newest installment of my decade old practice of taking lots of special pictures of special cars when I see them out in the wild. This immaculate and seemingly brand new 911 GT2 RS

Small update of what's to come: model has been submitted to Radium a while back and is in his dev cue, potential ETA H2 2019 while I'm sorting out my artwork for the old model's textures I've been converting
