There is still the steering wheel and that pesky little exhaust issue.

Sorry about that. While I hope to get them back at some point, I think the e36 OEM headlights perfectly exemplify the cost cutting in which BMW engaged on that 3 series iteration.

Oh, you left *those*.

If they can get any money for those on eBay, I'd say more power to them.

We used Matt's jacket to sop up diff fluid.

That really might be the most disgusting smelling automotive fluid.

maybe we should cut out the last resonator while we're at it.

The exhaust issue we can fix with a drill and some copper bolts. I'm not overly worried.

Yes, and throw diff fluid odor into the amalgam created by, 1) a removed fuel tank, 2) a race car being sprayed in a homemade paintbooth in the same garage and 3) various body by-products created by Mama Lucia's All-You-Can-Eat Italian buffet for lunch and well, you get something expecially noxious.

As long as you remember to order the bolts.

Speaking of bolts, RealOEM says the M3 and 323 bolts should be the same.

Of course, it also says that the 323 should use M6x25 bolts.

Presumably that's what Bill gave you?
