Yesterday I changed the engine oil, installed new cabin filter, flushed brake fluid, changed diff. fluid and installed UUC DSSR. Didn't vent diff. (loosen fill plug) before taking out drain plug, and got an explosion of hot, stinky, old gear oil in mine and my buddy's face. DSSR proved to do nothing to the slop in the shifter when I'm in gear. But hey, it was a fun day!

Damn. Didn't even know that was a possibility.

I always remove the fill plug first just in case it ever stripped or I couldn't get it out. Was told it's a good idea so you don't end up with an empty diff and no way to fill it.

Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.

I'll get another pic and post them. I would like to get another good shot of my black/grey roundel as well. :biggrin

cAk - grilles/emblem look badass. I also have BMW performance gloss black grills, it totally changes the look of the vehicle. The first time I was driving my wife's X5, and she was driving my car behind me with the xenon's on... I thought, "That was a good purchase". I also really like the shadow 330i.

kayger - I will take your advice next time I'm changing the diff fluid. Didn't even consider the possibility of a stripped plug! Yikes...

Thanks :biggrin I run with shadow badge on my ///M and used to do this with my 323i when I had it so doing this to my 330i made sense. I like the look as well :thumbsup

John, here are some pics I took while taking a break from my homework :biggrin

Working on Angel Eye install but will complete over the weekend. Too busy during the week to finish. This time, I'll swap out the lens as well and gaskets. Looks like the grill at the bottom needs a fresh coat of black paint...also swapped out fog light enclosures after taking these pics...:biggrin
