I also swapped in a new water pump, new fuel filter, new oil filter, and flushed the entire system. Oil change, transmission fluid swap, and I put a new crankshaft position sensor on, as it was having issues starting.
Oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gaskets all leak, and service your transfer case regularly, also make sure you had your VANOS recall completed, the bolts sheer off
hey u/op ... if its not too late..\n\ndont drain the oil the normal way! the paint would be carried through the oil passages and possibly hardening in them.\n\nsince they poured/sprayed the paint through the opening, its all in that area.
3.0 n52 when I got the car it had 5w-30 and the oil was leaking slightly. Changed 5w-40 and the leak stopped all together. Engine is smooth as butter
Air suspension to cushion those menacing looking 22s if you know your area does not have new roads.
Buying the brake disc wasn\u2018t even the expensive part. Driving it to the point where it fits the wall, that was.
BMW 3 series in the right rear panel. The location is ok, but the box is just enough to slip in a group 49, and there is an air vent hose on the forward side, and a clamp on the rear bottom that is impossible to reach with anything but little elf hands. Then there's also the starter cable, battery management and regular wires running in the same area, all hopelessly in the way..
My first non warranty repair on my B58 540 was a $3k radiator replacement. That was at about 60k miles.
10k miles later, went to do my usual 1k mile quart of oil, looks like chocolate milk.
My BMW has had very few engine issues…what it has had is a lot of weird and very expensive high tech issues…for example one of the day time running lights went bad because moisture got into the circuit board…this requires a new headlight fixture which was $4k…I just don’t use the DRLs anymore…expect these types of problems to slowly kill your soul
