I'm planning on doing a cooling/power steering refresh this weekend. On the cooling refresh: I have an A/T. Does anyone know if the A/T thermostat that sits in the expansion tank/mounting plate "clips in" or is simply held in by the pressure between the expansion thank and the plate? I haven't found a DIY thread yet that shows exactly how to install this part.

I've ordered Z4M FCABs and once I swap out all the suspension components I plan to get an alignment. Is there anything I should tell the indy shop that's doing the alignment beyond that the FCABs will have added caster? Does anyone know what the acceptable added caster should be post-alignment?
Capo
He'll most likely figure the caster can come into spec as my guy did.
Here is where mine ended up.

Yea I didn't tell my shop, but they're really good about upgrading e46 non-m bushings to M ones, so they're used to it.Originally Posted by BMWCurves

Today I bought r134a refrigerant (without stop leak) and a pressure gauge to recharge my A/C system but now Im seeing forum posts warning users to just take it to a shop to get the system recharged instead of doing a DIY. Has anyone here recharged their A/C? I understand you can break the compressor but is it really that risky?
