Repair-It

And a gift. I had to do this manually from VIN Decoderz which I don't really understand. Apparently it does have power trunk closer, for your convenience. It's unclear if the base headlights are halogen or HID. I suspect they are HID like my E55 had. They weren't great - I read the bi-xenons were be...

It sounds like talking to them was very useful.

Here is some recommended maintenance/inspections to put on the list: - Replace oil centrifuge (bolted to passenger side exhaust cam at rear of head) - clean TB and generally inspect tube for oil - you don't want oil in the intake on these due to the swirl valve thingy inside - Inspect all 4 cam posi...

They also allow all kinds of a la carte stuff which can make for some interesting snowflakes. The color combo itself s...

Guess I don't have a thread for this. This is the second flush that was due (B service, every 20k, 2 years). I used my new pneumatic extractor. It wasn't sucking much out so I just intuitively pumped the brake pedal. The extractor on the bleeder kept all fluid from dripping past the bleeder. Pretty ...

Broke a lug bolt removing the right rear wheel. Looks like it may have been broken for a while based on the rust pattern. Was able to drill and extract the rest without too much fanfare. Only took like 10 minutes, happily. Good drill bits FTW. Oh, dealer retail on a lug bolt is $12. It seems like st...

Did more fluid suck and refill stuff. 101k.

Decided to preventatively replace the tranny mount because it's easy. 20240330_104152.jpg 20240330_104210.jpg 20240330_104454.jpg 20240330_104458.jpg 20240330_104501.jpg Didn't get to drive it much but may be a bit smoother. Not a dramatic difference though. I'll get to drive it an hour tomorrow so ...
