This past week I've:

-Washed her inside and out
-New Pilot Super Sports
-Detailed leather
-replaced starter
-Replaced temp sensor on SMG pump
-Resistor mod for SMG blues (Pump still kicks to Neutral when it is 100F outside, but not as easily as it once did... still a bit frustrating, but that temp is pretty rare where I live... might sell her come fall for something different, who knows)

Went with Bosch for ~$140+core.

How long did it take you, and did you do it from the top?
Knowing how all connections come off, and not having to wait for a wrench (e12) to ship.. would take probably 4 hours or so.

I noted this elsewhere, but you'll (probably) have to do what I did and grind down your torx wrench (outer side, of course) to get the wrench to slip over the nut of the starter and fit between it and the transmission.

A few things...

Plasti-dipped the inside chrome (lines) on the front grills (left the outer part chrome), made the tail lights all red, waited for fedex to make sure I received my ECS Tuning front strut bar...

Doing smoked side markers, engine bay cleaning, and strut bar install this weekend... Pics coming after a Saturday morning spent with a 335i and A4 3.2 Quattro :thumbsup:
