Re: What did you do to your E24 today?
Nice catch Paul, didn't want that to happen during PSF
Just finished changing my oil, checked my service records, only to find out that it's been 2 years since the last oil change
Not all that many miles, but also time is a factor
See ya in a few

I can't comment on the Delphi brand, but you have a positive response
I can always check with master mechanic Klaus for feedback as well, haven't bugged him in a while

Not sure about this, BertThe drivers seat appears original and I think the passenger seat is from an E30.
