Nick_F Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 What do you guys think of changing the water pump on a 335 as preventive maintenance? I'll be dropping the subframe this weekend to tackle my oil pan gasket and am wondering if it's worth just changing it while I have everything out of the way. I'm at 83000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I'd be getting into photography, but it's a good excuse to get outdoors and I enjoy the process as much as the results. 17 minutes ago, SteelBlue said: Great shot.

I copied the "embed" link, then on this site I had to switch to the "Source" view and paste it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I live in the middle of nowhere about a half hour west of Wausau. If anyone wants to come there is a cool pizza farm about a mile down the road. Wood fired pizza ovens, every ingredient grown on his farm. Also he makes beer too. Stoney Acres Farm. I've got 26 acres and a nice basement to crash in. I would be happy to host a meetup if anyone wants to come. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person I normally ask to drive me around when my car is broken is sheltering-in-place because her 80yr old father lives with her. I was on my way home from covid testing when the car blew up (been running a mild fever since Wednesday), so that's not gonna work. We have a work-van that I could borrow to go get an engine from my storage unit, but it's an M42, not an M44, should be easy enough to get running though... That's probably the best option, I just don't know if I'm passionate enough about the compact to want to do the work right now. It's never really lived up to my expectations. I got spoiled driving the e34 and the transition to the base-model-AF compact wasn't very satisfying. Just need to find a ride to Nebraska... https://lincoln.craigslist.org/cto/d/lincoln-2003-bmw-540i-6-speed-manual/7122073438.html suspenceful and Jdesign 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
