Alternatively, I'd get it through FCP Euro since they have a lifetime warranty on their parts:

Don't buy BMW for the oil level sensor. It's the exact same part as the Hella unit, with the BMW logo ground off. Save yourself $70 and get the Hella.

Are you now proposing this over your oil catch can setup?

Agreed. It seems like a well made piece and I got mine free with my order of their SSK.



I have UUC's SSK as well. I didn't have the best customer experience (they sent the wrong unit but...

Beyond minimizing the risk of a burst soft line I'm not really sure. I doubt it would change pedal feel. My gut tells me that since the brake system and clutch system share the same reservoir, that...

Agreed. UUC has a SS clutch line for a decent price. It isn't too bad to swap out. For the transmission fluid I used Redline MTL, and for the diff I used Redline 75W90. Note that the diff...

That picture of the fluid from your filter is gross. I can't remember but I think mine looked sort of similar with only 49k miles on it.

Good work!

And yeah, if there's one thing I wish I had done when replacing my fuel filter its also replacing the soft fuel lines while I was in there.

Good stuff all around! I'm surprised you haven't been able to find a hood locally on Craigslist or something. Usually there's a junkyard or something nearby. And yeah, the guy who contacted you...

Can save ~$20 if you get a Duralast 94R-DLG battery from Auto Zone. Better CCA than BMW's

It certainly seems to be a roller coaster series of events with your car, but glad you've stuck with it. Working on a car will create a relationship with it that little else will. Even if I found...

That is one chattery DISA valve



+1. Seriously.

Damn, I'm impressed. It's no easy feat to get a car back up and running, but you did it!

Lower grille looks good too

That's dedication

Having a 10 year old battery didn't affect the running of my car, but it did some weird electrical stuff. Swapping it out for a new battery solved all of those problems.

Nicely done!

"DO NOT FORK" :shifty

Damn, sorry to hear! Most importantly, you and everyone else is okay.

Damn. Those tires no longer look safe to drive on. Were I you, I'd file.

Wow, that's a serious divot in that tire. Does it go all the way around or is it just in one spot?

Really? If you use their 2-day shipping, and it's late, you can chat with Amazon customer support and they usually give you a $5-10 credit or an added month or two of Amazon Prime. They're rarely...

If you have Amazon Prime, you can snag it from there with free 2-day shipping. It's where I got mine and my sister's.

Sweet. Maybe consider a quick removal setup, like this guy (jump to 3 mins 20 secs):

Bullshitkorner?! Love that guy. And do post info on whatever you end up doing with regards to the stereo.

Nice pickup! I know next to nothing about our stereos, but I vaguely remember people with any intention of upgrading the stereo can't do a whole lot with the stock head unit and go for a different...
