I went to the pull yard, but if this one is no good I'll definitely be asking you. Donor car was an '03 325i sport.

Noob question:
I don't jack the rear of the car up too often... actually can't think of last time I did.

What's the best way to keep the car from rolling? Are blocks on the front wheels sufficient?

I use a couple one foot 2x4 leftovers.

Ok just double checking.

Getting ready to do my suspension. I'll likely have more questions.

PSS10 arrived last week. Waiting on the sway bars and other gear Monday!

Yup, seen that thread a few times.

When lifting one end, I have weight on 2 stands, 2 other stands as back up, keep the jack under the center jack point, and wheels under the rotors.

Or if wheels are on, I use ramps.

So I've a question for you guys. I've been digging around for M54b30 build info and I saw something interesting that kinda gave me a moment of pause. I came across a few articles adressing the motor and it's apparent habit of vibrating it's oil pump pully nut off when revved beyong 6k for extended periods. Oooor when the motor has high mileage.

My question is, have any of you guys dealt with or seen this on your cars? There was a rumor that the facelift models had the issue resolved but, that was the rumor about the subframes for a bit too. I don't know how I missed this and was just curious about it. That, and I really don't want to climb into the rev range one day and witness my engine eating itself.

Thanks for any input.

^ the ZHP M54B30 has its' oil pump nut loctite'd on.
