I'll pm you about the cost and source. Quote:
Your turn...? Haha Haha thanks Rob. Don't think I'll touch the suspension for now apart from maybe some select M3 bits but even thats a maybe. Handled itself well on the hillclimb and is more than enough for the daily duties. Plus the car park at uni has speed bumps literally every 10m for all 7 levels. |

Set aside some time to do some maintenance work on the car with Kenneth (kmli5) today. New spark plugs for Ken and spark plugs plus engine and transmission oil for me.
Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Fat wheels+tyres and BMWP exhaust Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Kenneth's engine - coils out. Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr My turn! Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Old plugs removed. Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr New plugs installed, coils back in. Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Done! (almost) Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr Kenneth doing a final check for any leaks Spark Plug + Service by J.H. Sohn, on Flickr We were both really happy with how clean the engine looked (ie. no oil stains etc) and also at the condition of the old plugs. Changing the plugs was surprisingly easy even with the 5th plug from the front being obscured by the chassis bracing that goes from the strut tower to the firewall (at least for me after I watched Kenneth do it first haha). Could easily do it in under an hour provided you have the right tools and you've got someone to help put all the plastic covers and cowlings back in. Car feels even smoother than before under acceleration and definitely has less vibration transmitting through the shifter on idle. Thanks so much Ken for doing my engine oil and transmission oil change for me This Redline D4 ATF stuff is great - immediately felt slicker through the gears even when cold. VERY happy with everything done today! |

I will have to check out the Redline D4 ATF. My AT has been holding gears a bit too long on occasion and not as smooth as it should be.

Let me know how it goes. I'm thinking I may need to give my 6AT a service... Been feeling that my upshifts in 1st to 3rd gear can be really jerky at times.
