So BMW can sell you an overpriced item that will eventually burn out again.

Another option would be to do a swap with OEM units thru this forum member.

Time to let her run! Looks good.
I’ll be coming up on 20 years in 6/20. She’s been good, but a stinking pain to maintain.

You nailed one of the biggest reasons why I love this thing. Whenever I'm stretching it's legs on the highway, the smiles return and all of the junk we put up with due to it being a tempermental...
Hey TX-I only bought the seals from Beisan. I haven't touched the solenoids though. As far as I know, they're not causing any issues. I did replace the metal VANOS gasket, the valve cover and...
Hi Buddy! Glad to hear everything is buttoned up and you're done with all of that. Congratz! Good solid advice above too. I thought that when you said you slammed your door that the window broke!...
My original kidney grills started to fall out so I bought some aftermarket ones. I don't remember where I got them from or the brand. But, they stink. The tabs broke on them pretty quickly. I'm...
Hey Tx! I think he’s talking about the bleeder screw up top next to the ET and air box. It’s part of the upper hose. It’s plastic so be careful with it. It doesn’t take much force. Just a good snug....
Congrats!!! I know how frustrating things can be, been there many times myself. I’d say the coolant system burping thing should work out good. I never used one myself, but have seen many.
What...
This was a little over a week ago, but changed the oil and filter. Mobil 1 5-30. No biggie easy peasy. I use a fluid extractor that makes for a nice easy process. I checked my oil filter for any...
OP-Check out the YT video from 50’s Kid if you haven’t already. It’s called the E46 Radiator and Coolant Expansion Tank Replacement video. From about 24 minute mark, he pops in the new ET and it...
Hey there!!! Yeah, things in California suck. But I’m stuck here for a while due to family. TX is on my short list to escape to. TN and AZ are up there too. If you don’t mind me asking, where in...
Hey all, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything on this forum. It’s good to be back!
Here’s my two cents worth on cooling system parts. Go OEM and nothing else. The first time I did the...
I’ll end up with a little over 2k this year. Poor little ZHP is getting neglected in her later years.

What coolant are you using? If you’re using BMW coolant, then you should see the blue/white residue. If it’s aftermarket, then that changes things.
Let us know so we aren’t sending you on a wild...
Don’t forget to check under the thermostat housing.
There are other hoses that go on the drivers side back to the firewall. But it’s under the intake etc. those don’t leak as often. The areas...
Just bought the wiper washer pumps. Still sitting in a box in the kitchen. Need to get off my butt and take the 15 minutes to do it.
I also run the AC all the time. If I have the heater going without it, then the windows get all fogged up, especially if you have more people in the car.
Neat upgrade! I like the somewhat simple approach to this mod.
Concord, CA?
Earlier this week. New brake pads on the rears.
My wife's key battery is dead and it still works in the door and the ignition no issues. I've seen some videos on how to replace the battery. But they seem to have different procedures, some say...
Nice! Thanks for posting!
I tried to do the job without the hose tool, the way the 50’s Kid showed on his video. But I just could not get it to come off. Watched and rewatched it to no avail. Finally saw somewhere about the...
Yes, he did use a really thin bead of RTV. I elected not to for a couple reasons: (1) BMW didn't so why should if I'm using an OE part, and (2) cleaning up RTV at the next change would be a true...
