I hope to get the canine transport ready for Saturday. I'm in the middle of replacing the front right half-axle, water pump and thermostat so wish me luck. Are any other wagons or xi's going to be...

Is there a TSB for E46s (that's what it looks like) that we don't know about? ;)

Got an 18" long 1/2" breaker bar with the socket adapter. Worked like a charm on the transfer case. Thanks for the tips! BTW, should I put anti-seize on the transmission plugs? Or is that only...

I think I'll start with that. All my sockets are 3/8" so the longest breaker bar I have is 10". I'll upgrade to a 1/2" and a dead blow mallet like gkrea1 says and see if that's all I need.

No...

Is it just me or do you have almost no leverage when you're on your back underneath a car? Any recommendations for an impact wrench for doing basic maintenance and beyond (fluid replacement, brakes,...

What, did my Gigantor head get in the way of your precious course? ;)

In case you haven't already checked, try looking at the fuse and replacing it if it's blown. Good luck.

Sorry for the late update. I tried for a week to get the post-cat lambda sensor off of bank 1 but with 174k of heat cycles, it just wasn't going anywhere. So I took the car to Curry's in...

Did not know that about the valve in the tailpipe. I'll change out the oxygen sensor, clear the code and see if it that fixes it. Stay tuned.

Looks like a really cool project. How much will it cost to rebuild your engine and about how many hours/days of your time does it take?

Okay, I'm going from oil changes to something more substantial. I have an 05 325xiT with 175k miles on it and last week the "Service Engine Soon" light went on. Got a Peake R5/FCX(3) scan tool and...

I wasn't able to register in time but I'd like to show up and watch and maybe help some people out. I hope that's okay ...

Thanks and good tip on the full-sized spare. I definitely need to get one. All I have is goo for my M3.

You just want me to be in a different class! ;)

Update: the Carfax report showed an extensive service history (luckily the previous owner chose a dealership that diligently sent all the data) so I went ahead and bought it for $6750. Brakes,...

Thanks, I've asked the seller to provide the service history if possible. He's going to make some calls to BMW dealerships in his area to see if he can get the records. Jim Eddy at Sterling BMW was...

Anyone have any reasons why I _shouldn't_ get a 2005 manual AWD 325 wagon with 175k mi for a daily driver? I'll be putting about 15k mi/yr on it and plan to do as much of the maintenance on it as I...

Update: this project on hold since the water pump failed and claimed the head gasket on my daily driver / grocery getter / canine transport 98 Jeep ZJ. Dumped the Jeep, need a replacement.

Quicker, safer and cleaner. Found a good review/how-to here. Thanks!

FYI, I bought the car used with 39k on it and it just had an Inspection II performed. It's at 46k now and aside from the...

James, does what you have capture and log throttle and brake input? I need to work on those for autocross.

I finally put 7500 miles on my M3 since I got it in January of 2009 and I changed the oil for the first time a couple of hours ago. Got the instructions from here, bought the oil change kit from...

That's funny, I don't recall seeing any beamers ... heh.
