Buy new crush washers for the VANOS oil feed line. If you're loosening the top and bottom, get 4. If only the bottom, get 2. You don't need to loosen the top unless you're replacing the line.

Oil being sucked up into various places is why I would have thought it to show less. Interesting point you bring.

There does seem to be a difference. Unfortunately the difference isn't consistent... sometimes it shows more when cold, sometimes it shows more when warm. It's really weird.

Using logic, I'd...

Every oil change I do ends up taking between 6-7 quarts (oil filter takes some in as well). What are you guys doing?? lol




I actually chuckled when I read this. :)



Just for everyone's...

Just make sure the magnet is strong as hell. If it's loose enough to move with a finger, you'll get dirt underneath there and when the fin shifts, it'll grind that dirt against the paint. At least...

I have a feeling mine might be like that as well. My ex-BMW tech friend told me the same thing; he's had to replace a few valve covers before due to warpage. My VCG is newer (replaced late last...

No, the rumble I'm referring to is the "vibration" you get from something like a V8 muscle car when at idle or slightly blipping the throttle.

Really hard to explain. lol

Guess you guys have very different definitions of 'rumble'. lol
I'm thinking of the vibration you get in the car...

There is no rumble at low rpm, at least by my definition. There is, however, a deep bass when you blip the throttle. You do occasionally get some burble as well on decel, though it isn't consistent...

I agree that the stock calipers don't have enough of a presence. With that said, I'd say it still would look great in said colors from a contrast perspective, but you do run into that "just painted...

There isn't anything "too much" about it whatsoever. There are times I wish it was louder, actually.
I keep thinking that it's too loud from the outside but then I realize that it really isn't. ...

With the M3 cluster I'd find it very strange having 2k of unusable RPMs on the tach. That would drive me nuts. Lol

This isn't isolated to them. Others do the same thing.
The VDO fuel pump I bought is essentially a BMW branded part, with the logo dremeled off. I've seen this on other parts as well from other...

I remember asking them and they said they can do an advance replacement if you don't want to wait. Pay for new part and receive, send back old one, get a refund.

FCP Euro's lifetime warranty on every single part they sell is why I buy almost exclusively from them now. And they're local to me...
If you buy a cooling system from them and the parts wear out,...

That's really unfortunate the UUC tried to weasel their way out of this one. Glad you got it worked out.

BMW does it the most ass-backwards way possible. On the cars that have partial LED and partial halogen, they have LED turn signals and halogen brake light bulbs. :facepalm
