The father and son team behind RX Automotive here in Brisbane live, breathe and race BMW's. The business is held in high regard by fellow members of the BMW Club of Queensland and is now my go-to workshop. I'm putting this run of bad luck behind me and am looking forward to many more km's behind the wheel of my awesome car. Last edited by bobowar135; 10-25-2020 at 01:19 AM.. Reason: dodgy grammar |

Coolant wise, I wish we had a temp guage. All cars, no matter how mundane, should have at least coolant temperature and oil pressure guages. Upon sale, the car did come with a Cobb Accessport. Maybe I could look into this for some extra guages. It is obsolete now, but still good for basic diagnostics. |

If you drove it hard and got some elevated oil temps it's good practice to drive easy for a bit to get everything back to normal temps before putting it away.

Yep, top front and the back/side bolts broken off. No idea what happened to the lower front bolt. Last folks to touch it were the german specialty shop that did my oil pan gasket back in early 2018. Should be able to get em out I think, but worst case is pulling the oil pan and either having the local machine shop get em out or pick up one of the used ones out there for sale... Still can't believe there were no symptoms! You'd think there would be rattling and all kinds of craziness going on while all this was happening! Ah well. New OE 135is engine and trans mounts coming, new power steering bolts & pulley, new serp belt and idler & tensioner pulleys, a new radiator and even new silicone hoses for the IC so I can clean up the install while I'm all up in there... Hoping I won't need to order an oil pan gasket

I mounted it where they show/recommend. It's been great so far.

are the gains worth all the hassle? I've seen conflicting information on this

Finally fixed my turbo feed line that was leaking. 1 o-ring totally crushed, the other was ok. 1 turbo return line gasket was slowly gushing. All fixed and leak free now.
Its amazing how many hours of taking stuff off the car and back on the car to fix a 10 cent o-ring. Meth kit just arrived very late, didn't have any time left to put it in. Maybe next week |

Not to mention it cleans up carbon deposits... Helps the car run better, healthier! Will I be running Ethanol all the time? No... I'm gonna have two tunes I'm happy with... 93 tune and Ethanol tune and be done with horsepower hunting... Then off to visual mods... |

IIRC the waterpump still runs if you turn off the car prematurely (with elevated colling temps) after a hard drive and this can significantly reduce its life if it runs with the motor shut off.

Why new fuel lines? Our cars run e85 on stock fuel lines all the time.
