Repairs for a 1986 BMW.

I’m back with the 1986 528e BMW, belonging to my girlfriend. She plans to take a trip with the car a few states away, so we decided it was a good time to give it some repairs. After replacing the struts, I wanted to try and tackle just some of the many small, non critical issues with this car. Electrical bugs, warning lights and such. After all, BMWs: Electrical problems and oil leaks.
