I did not remove the calipers. Such would seem appropriate only if the calipers were for, another reason, off the car. Otherwise, what is visible with the wheels on would never require the calipers...
Did wheel removal and all cleaning and prep on Friday and Saturday, about three hours each session. I got at the painting Saturday PM; it took about 3.5 hours to go around the car four times. Each...
My dealer gives me RealOEM minus 20%. Just out of curiosity, I'll check it by sending my contact the part number.
An exhaustive internet search has been unable to verify the paint color as Monte Carlo blue. Seems BMW is keeping the wraps on this one. At the same time, I researched caliper paint kits concluding...
Anyone know the paint code or descriptive color for the new M brake calipers?
wiper arm removal. Once the cap and retaining nut are removed, place a wash cloth or small towel beneath the hinged point on the wiper arm. Now simply press the hinged joint downward towards the...
I replaced the driver exterior piece last year via this TIS. As you cited, not too bad, but take your time with the interior window gasket getting it properly "tucked back in". Observe its removal...
When exiting the car and closing the passenger door behind you, do not place your greasy fingers on the exterior B pillar trim to close the door. Use the door handle!
If you're driving the car, a cover is more about how clean or dirty the car is before the cover is deployed. I have used covers (sun protection) for years in SWFL for both dd's and cars that didn't...
Front is the same.
There is an electrical connector with three plugs that snakes over top the upper radiator hose. One of its plugs attaches to front of engine, the other two connect at the lower left front section of...
Yes, I installed them couple years ago. I purchased with the left extension, shiny anit-slip without the grip inserts. The quality is first rate; they look super nice. I have been very satisfied and...
thanks Dane!
Can anyone direct me to a good DIY, photos preferred?
Dealer said code shows failing DSC pressure sensors (2), a mere $800.00 estimate. The DIY for this isn't too bad but my research shows the problem could be other things despite the pressure sensor...
Thanks to all.
While we're in there for both replacements, is there anything along the way that makes sense to replace/clean/inspect?
No, only OEM fluids have ever been used in the car. And yes, an OBDII code reader was used and ABS codes could have not read [part of the discovery]. We're all learning...thanks for your input.
I and my friend are quite handy under-car. I might let the dealer read-out any codes and quote the work. Then I'll decide whether I fix it or have it fixed. This is often my method when dealing with...
Alignment is perfect, flies as straight as your jet plane! I would think a failing speed sensor would trip an FC, no?
From time to time when driving I get a chime and the illumination of the 'brake' in the lower right of the cluster along with the lighting of the DSC icon mid-cluster. There are no driving or braking...
i got my second letters today. I fixed my '03 myself prior to the recall; might take the ZHP in for grins.
I'd continue experiments with various lubricating agents lest the problem is mechanical. Vinylex or Zymol Seal come to mind.
