My indy says it is the hard launches and the torque of the motor that pulls at the sides and leads to the cracks. Thankfully, mine had none. Feel for the OP.

Got the stewart, figured, quality is always a good idea. Went to bleed the system when done, shot out the top like a gyser. Never did that before on an E46?

Almost exactly my thinking! If you are going to do it, do it already. You only want to take it apart once,might as well fix any "possible" problems and add to reliability in the future.

I bought a set of M-3 seats for my 330ci, bolted and plugged right in place. Heat works on the seats, all is well, no codes as a result. It was a seamless swap. Highly recommended as well.

I use the 5K interval, know it is too soon, but, that is about a year for my car, and is about right time wise. If I drove it more, would go to the 7,500 interval.
