Thanks for all the replies on batteries! :cheers My current battery is an Advance Auto Titanium with a production date of Aug. 2007.

I've done some research, and am confused as to the battery I need to purchase for my car. It seems like the most recommended battery, Duralast 49DL, is no longer available.

I'm planning on...

Does anyone have a recommendation for the serpentine and AC belts for our cars?

I put a set of Continental (OEM I think?) brand belts on 14 months ago, and now I think I have an intermittent...

Thanks for the insight. This is interesting, because the lower trim on mine is definitely a different color than the top button panel. The lower trim is more of a soft touch matte black, and the...

How hard is it to remove the lower steering wheel trim piece for restoration? DIYs or pics? I'm tired of the fingernail marks.

Does anyone ever replace their post-cat o2 sensors as a PM item? In researching, it seems like the pre-cats are usually the only sensors replaced.

^ Ha, just saw this. Sounds like I should take your word and remove it. Thanks!

Replaced wipers today with Genuine BMW Evo style part# 61610037009. I noticed instructions on RealOEM stating to remove the wiper blade guide part# 61618263685. Can anyone confirm they did this? ...

^ Awesome. Thanks!

Thanks san. I agree that it should be without removing the bleeder screw. It's weird how the level changed when I removed the bleeder screw though.

Speaking of, I have all of my parts in...

When I removed my expansion tank cap in order to do a cooling system overhaul this weekend, I noticed the indicator stick was below minimum, but when I subsequently removed the bleeder screw the...

^ Thanks. Sometimes RealOEM makes me think I'm missing parts when I'm not.

Do we have alternator cooling ducts on our cars? I'm missing mine if we do.

^ Ahh... I always forget about the BavAuto blogs/video. Thanks!! :roundel

I'm planning on doing a cooling/power steering refresh this weekend. On the cooling refresh: I have an A/T. Does anyone know if the A/T thermostat that sits in the expansion tank/mounting plate...

Does anyone know the location of a good DIY for removing exterior B-pillar trim? I found this: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=379663, however it is for an E39 so I don't know if...

^ I did. I'm glad to see that TMS provided excellent customer service.

I have seen the few that have been posted on a different forum go in the $250-$280 range (the ones that are BNIB, not the used ones that have to be sent to Turner for a reset that cost some $). ...

Would anyone who has a Shark Injector care to share their good/bad opinion on the product? I have one in my possession that I acquired from a friend who never took it out of the box before he sold...

While replacing the FCABs and steering coupler today, I found something that looked a little loose and I wasn't sure what it was. Apparently, it is a "stop buffer" part #22116753910. Mine appears...

Looking to buy FCABs, and will most likely get Lemforder as they appear to be the OE supplier and I would like to stick with the OE ride. I believe I read somewhere on here that the Meyles are of...

For those who have done the G.A.S. DISA repair: did you also take the throttle body off and clean it? If so, was it difficult to remove and did you use a new throttle body gasket? Planning to also...

Thanks again fellas. Just to share where I got this info/question from, I googled "bmw usa recommended oil" and in the first few results you would see two pdfs from bmw (January 2008 + August 2013),...

Thanks, and I think I'll probably stick with Mobil 1. It seems to have been a good choice in everything else I have owned. In reading the document again, the only oil they do list is the BMW oil. ...

Apologies for the noob question, but what is normally recommended for engine oil as between BMW 5W-30 oil and Mobil 1 0W-40? I was set on Mobil 1, but I learned BMW took this off of their...
