Just bought our car a couple weeks ago.
So far I've done all the work myself except the tires:
New tires.
Replaced nav unit.
Changed control arm bushings.
Replaced oil filter housing gasket.
Replaced vanos line.
Replaced O-ring on bottom of expansion tank mount.
New clear side markers.

More to come....

This weekend's plans include:

1. Replacing the intake boots. I have a tear in my lower boot at the branch for the ICV.
2. Replacing the Vanos Seals with the kit from Rajae.
3. Replacing the tattered driver's side A pillar with the new one from Tischer.

Replaced my tyre dust caps with some unti-theft ones with the BMW logo.

TX78666 · 08-12-2011, 09:14 AM

Put a BMW Oil Travel Case in the trunk, for $6 from bavauto.com.

Offshore24 · 08-12-2011, 10:30 AM

Replaced accelerator module. Now the pedal is smooth as silk.
Installed a K&N Air Filter.

At motorcepts waiting for my car to be dropped. Fresh tune up, new coolant system, coils, plugs, pulleys...the whole nine

alpine325coupe · 08-12-2011, 03:04 PM

My bill was over 800...I'd guess 500 without cooling

Solidjake · 08-12-2011, 03:18 PM

What did you have done?

I'm going to clean up my car a bit later, a lot of brake dust on the front wheels.

alpine325coupe · 08-12-2011, 03:22 PM

Waterpump, spark plugs, thermostat, all new coils, pulleys, coolant flush. I think that's all

Solidjake · 08-12-2011, 03:25 PM

Coils as in spark plug coils? Why? Those are pretty much NOT necessary to change unless they are bad, but it's usually only one that goes.

E46tknv · 08-12-2011, 03:26 PM

I hope my pockets don't get cleaned out for a few little things.

alpine325coupe · 08-12-2011, 03:31 PM

2 of the coils were bad. Figured I'd change all 6. Don't want to have to go back for another misfiring cylinder

choleaoum · 08-12-2011, 03:33 PM

I posted this in my other thread, but I installed a 50 dollar lip on my car today. Looks good til I can get my hands on the hamann mtech2 front lip.

^ Paint your grill black

Solidjake · 08-12-2011, 03:39 PM

Very quick photoshop

choleaoum · 08-12-2011, 03:45 PM

i'm contemplating if i want to paint my grill black. the silver makes my car look 100x cleaner, but the black makes it look 100x aggressive.

not sure if i really like the black grill on silver, i'm 50 / 50 on it. ill probably just plasti-dip it, or buy a set from ddm.

Solidjake · 08-12-2011, 03:53 PM

I used to have chrome grills, going to black was a night and day difference

bwallace530 · 08-12-2011, 03:53 PM

Magnaflow+headers is a awesome set up
Love the sound now I just need to remove the resonators
Put my block off plate on the Egr valve snapped in half.

Anyone want tp buy this. Works fine just took it off.
