Ryan...

Adding  a 3rd pedal would solve the problem for the life of the driver 😀, not just the life of the transmission.
with a side effects of giddiness at every destination.
 

All superseding Dexron fluids are backwards compatible with older versions.  As per redline “Our most versatile ATF, use where Dexron III®, Dexron II®, Mercon® and Mercon V® fluids are recommended, for use in automatic, manual transmissions and power steering” 
So yes that kit is exactly what he needs

"lifetime" does not mean "for the life of the vehicle."
It means "when the transmission fluid goes bad your transmission dies, therefore, the fluid has lasted the lifetime of the transmission!"
the GM transmission used in those e46s is one of the worst ever for longevity. the reverse gear almost certainly goes bad. having 145k miles on his and its still working is above-par. at this point, hoping the fluid you pick makes the thing run another 50k is probably a pipe-dream since that thing is on borrowed time...

the internet suggests DexIII, D4, DexVI, and other universal ATFs have worked fine.
the internet suggests GM has stated DexVI is backwards compatible with DexIII transmissions.
DexVI didnt hit the market till 2005 so it certainly isnt the original spec for a 2000 model year car.
of course, the 323i owners manual states 'lifetime fluid, no change necessary' 😂

may i remind you last year we had a 5-12" snow storm on April 15th.

M6 Gran Coupe is what I would buy if I picked richer parents

Took the hot rod out for a spin today while the 335xi is at the shop.

I'm considering giving life a good old "fuck it" and buying myself a $20k headache...
 
1982 Ferrari Mondial, red, 77k, $19,950. Showed the girlfriend and she said, "It's ugly, I don't care." which is a thumbs up in girl-speak!

Noooooooooo
Definitely not a good idea.. I found more info on in it on FChat, a couple guys there have looked at it an gotten the scoop. Would be something where I got a PPI before hand, and I know already based on other's info that it's due for a major service and the obvious interior refinishing.
 
General consensus is, if you can drop the rear subframe that cradles the engine/trans/rear suspension you can save a lot of money, and if you don't need something pristine it would be a great driver's car.
 
I'm under no illusions it would be cheap, or fast, or smart in any way. 
Heck no, it's already got a 9.2 second 0-60, why ruin that performance with a cheap American engine?

Pretty fare price imo, I subtract my vote for the e38 to use my "$30k budget" towards this

It'll be Miller Park till I die.
I want nothing to do with AMFAM after they screwed me over on an accident 20 years ago.

Idk y, I thought this was funny

I'll come pick it up Sunday then!

Trade for my ps3+games and two controllers.  Offer won't last long!

Trades = would be interested in possibly trading for a manual, not completely rusted out vehicle. Could add some cash on my end, not afraid of project cars either!

Bike is parked inside, on a battery tender. I'm the 3rd owner, last owner bought it sometime around 2003/2004. The original battery finally died this past October right before I parked it for the year. Rides beautifully, has all the charm of a dry clutch Ducati This bike feels every bit as strong/quick as my old 916, and these look fantastic in yellow! No test rides without cash in hand. I've been burned before with people crashing my bikes on test rides. Less
 
 
 
 

I wanted that thing hella bad, almost listed the Rover and went to look at it.

A LSB M3 is the first car that ever actually caught my eye, and the reason I'm into cars, specifically BMWs, today.

yeah i think it was something like 14k for a couple years. the guy has one of the sentimental attachment problems. a clean e21 could be worth a few thousand, but the 80s ghetto-blaster theme (white everything, terrible wheels, bad tint) make it look cheap.

It's available at most liquor stores.  Anytime there is a party with a Ryan, i bring it so we can all uncomfortably drink Ryan's Cream.

SOLD

Well this is fucking stupid... 2019 Ford Ranger will require the LF wheel removed in order to access the oil filter.
A service procedure obtained by TTAC states that, after removing the left front wheel, a technician or owner must then remove an access panel secured by nine push-pin retainers. From there, one removes the filter with an end cap tool. To actually drain the oil, which of course you’ll accomplish before attacking that filter, you’ll first need to unbolt the power steering control module underbody shield. Four bolts hold that on.

WTF!!!!   Why?
