I hit 39,000 miles
Oh, oh! I still have the original battery with 108k on the clock. Nearing it's life's end. My '03 530i (with 11/02 build date) met the battery's end early this year....after 8 years. Replaced with Interstate.
113k on original battery in '05.... I wonder how long it will last? 8.5 yrs is incredible for a battery.Quote:

Ruined it.
I've noticed I have a good amount of oil leaking through my VCG. So I figured that I didn't tighten it up enough to keep the oil in when I did my Vanos a few weeks ago. Set the torque wrench to 10Nm and popped one of the top bolts. Loosened and tightened them all back to 10Nm.. but now one of the bolts has oil that spews everywhere.
My engine bay is a messsss ugh
Dalton, are you still selling your ZHP? I think if you could pull the motor and fix it on a stand, that would be best for your current woes (Oil consumption/leaks and whatnot) Winter is close and you have a garage ;)
I received this in the mail this afternoon...:biggrin Don't mind the mess everyone....was excited to get this...:thumbup

That is one solidly constructed piece of fiber Charlie... I ordered a CF arqray from Eurospec months ago, only to never receive it. I had to file a complaint with the BBB, find their phone number, bombard them with emails to get some sort of update. 60 days later, got my money back. I will give these guys a shot in the spring.
