Wife got some warning lamps. I just used PA Soft 1.4 to switch them to xenon. Hopefully this works!

205,XXX miles:
-New OEM BMW valve cover gasket. The old one wasn't bad but seeping a little on the front by the vanos.
-Replaced the heater valve thingy to get the heat to work! Yay winter!
-Installed a good used condition mirror that I painted and clear coated with the Napa paint matched rattle can. Turned out okay!
Need to get 2 new front CV boots as the ones I feel like I just replaced are leaking from the clamp cutting into the rubber. Also need to install braided brake lines and fix the airbag seatbelt tensioner to get the warning light off.

nice work

Took the "Four Door" back to Mike's to have him pop on some braided brake lines, fix the pass. side seat belt tensioner that is throwing an airbag light and install the ebrake hardware that I forgot to get. Needed the 330i shoes.
We both forgot that the hardliners for the brakes were pretty rusty. Almost all hardlines replaced! He went around the fuel tank, with my blessing, to cut the labor time in half. (The wagon will get the tank out line replacement soon!)
He also found the vacuum line on the fuel filter was rotted off. Better MPGs here I come!

Got the winters tires on. Running the 5 series wheels that I ran on the wagon last year.

245s, that must be some serious winter traction!
those wheels look great on an e46.

A little wider than I'd prefer but I like those wheels too! Thanks!

New summer wheels to come! Bought these from Kerry and he was nice enough to get them powder coated. The 4-door is going to look like a 90s Pontiac with the color matched wheels.

The rack doctor steering rack we replaced in 2018 blew its seals and was leaking badly. Utilized their lifetime warranty and got a new one.
Did an oil and filter change as well as a fuel pump; fuel filter and regulator. Added e46 M3 RTABs also. All OEM BMW.

Trans started slipping so got it replaced with a 94k mile trans out of a 325xi. Got the starter rebuilt, new trans filter/gasket. Tensioner & idler pullies replaced. New oil filter housing gasket and hood latches.
Mike also made the rust dissappear by the rear wheel arches. Not bad for a napa rattle can!
Now we just need some snow!
All work done at 212k miles.
