YoungCR Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Yay! So whats the plan? Refresh while its out or toss it in and punish tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yay! So whats the plan? Refresh while its out or toss it in and punish tires? I'll probably do the rod bearings, rear main seal, oil filter housing gasket, new clutch and swap over all the new sensors from the blown motor. There probably will be more but that's what I can think of now. Might add a Setrab oil cooler and a get the bumper support sorted out.

DrLeadFoot Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hey Ma, Can I borrow your van?!Now the e30 has to get out of the garage so the E46 can go under the knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Glad I'm getting into this thing. There is new engineering in here but it all is similar to an e30. Love that. I'll pull the trans out with the motor. The gear selector seal has a little leak. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I keep telling my wife that she couldn't possibly look any better but driving a BMW definitely wouldn't hurt and girls who drive BMW's get nicer things. She's almost drank the Kool-aid except her sights are set on an X5, a Cayenne or a Volvo XC90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ditto. The interiors are great on the new X5's too but $$$. Get her a used X5 35d, those are tanks. DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Got the motor loose and almost out. This getting dark at 5:30 isn't helping anything.
