Man, that BBK is
So far today I replaced all of my spark plugs (all looked pretty good for 92k+), buttoned the engine back up, got the girl up on jack stands, & began my cooling system refresh. Opened & drained the two blue screws at the front (the side spout on the rearmost of the two was a nice surprise), moved to the block & . . . how the @#$!!% are you supposed to remove the engine block coolant drain plug?! I can just barely get my hand up there with a 1/4-drive 13mm socket & wrench & don't seem to have anywhere near enough leverage to break it free to hand remove.
Do I even need to bother draining the block if I'm going to be replacing the water pump & thermostat?![]()

Went by my local dealer today and picked up a couple rubber mount points. Seems I lost a couple over the years.
But I did check a new F30 335 sport that was in the showroom. Everything was on point and sexy, I think that's going to be my next car. I've got some pics, hmmm, where to post?
