As far as I can see, the only location is 124th and Capitol by Harley/Briggs/Milwaukee Elec. Tool.

Its the only location in the state ive found that has an open time of 6am, all others are 10:30.

Burrito with eggs, potato, bacon, queso, pico, and a little cilantro and red onion. mmmhmm

I think you should bring a whole box of these to the next outing.....

I think our next outing should be at Qdoba on Saturday morning

Qars Qoffee and Qdoba

That might actually convince me to go to the picnic...

Done

Differential oil changed. Using the $90/qt BMW Unicorn Piss seems to be worthwhile as the M-clunk and diff whine is much less noticeable. If it were any other LSD, I’d be content with Redline, but even diffsonline.com recommends SAF-XJ +FM for the M-Variable LSD

I added a magnetic drain plug.

I replaced the fuel filter. The old one wasn’t horrible, here is a front (upper) vs. back (lower) comparison of the filter paper. I had no idea when it was last replaced but it’s cheap, easy, and never hurts to do.

While I was in there I checked and confirmed that the Clutch Delay Valve (CDV) is still in place and I will be removing that soon based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback from those who have removed it. If it sucks I can re-install it/its fully and easily reversible.

I also took a nice drive through the southern Kettle on Saturday with 2 passengers, AC on, and some music playing with the aux input I installed. Good times were had.

The HDR setting on my phone turned itself up to 11

Replaced: Cabin filter, VANOS filter, AC belt

up next is a fresh oil change 

[SteelBlue]

Fuck, I need to get another E46 again.

Do you also not have fog lights?

Reason for Red Line motor oil over Mobil 1? I’m sure it’s not cheap.

[B C]

Fogs are not installed. I am still not sure which look I like best. Leaning towards no fogs.

The typically used 10w-60 oils are Castrol TWS, BMW/Shell TwinPower Turbo, LiquiMoly, Redline.

Bimmerworld recommends Redline and I can get it locally at Pegasus or Behling if I ever need to top off.

[Jdesign]

no fogs and run ducting to the brakes

1,100 miles in

Oil changed.

Rock collection tray cleaned.

Oil level sender o-ring replaced, though I think whatever small leak exists is coming from elsewhere.

I am very happy to see you taking good care of this car. It's come quite a long way since it was a cheap fb marketplace find last year.

You are incapable of not taking things apart.  Nice job.

I felt this one.

Good work on fixing all of the little annoying stuff!

[Jdesign]

I never got a good look at this thing before you drove off on Saturday

[B C]

Thanks for moving the cone for me though

Cough, amber tails, cough.
