Lovely e39! If you end up buying the Z4, don’t forget to post some pictures of it here 👍🏻

1L will be more than enough. Can’t remember how much I had to add when I did the same job, less than 0,5L I think. But someone else willprobably chime in and tell how much off I am.

You have to first remove the oil filter housing bolts, then you can move the whole assembly and remove the plastic cover to access the other gasket.

Today was the day to take care of the last items from my DIY list for this summer. As I mentioned earlier, I planned to replace the front top mounts and the spring pads while the front struts would be apart. And the reason to do all that was 1 missing spring pad when the Bilstein B12 kit was...

Took both seats out just to find dirt from past 20 years, no money to ease the pain. Picture is from drivers side, passenger was worse. Cleaned everything up and installed the flex mat in the drivers seat Forgot to take an after pic. But the foam was not broken and the mat lifted it...

Installed yesterday the double USB-C retrofit in place of the aux port. Had the parts marinating for too long. Today will take out the seats, give the rails a good clean as they look horrible and try to install the flex mat in the drivers seat.

Finally installed this mod/retrofit. I bought the port already during the winter. Now that I have Bluebus, the aux port is not needed anymore. I made a ”wiring harness” with the plug provided with the USB port and the fuse thingy Next was to find where to connect the positive and ground, both...

And to end up the day, I dismantled the trunk of the coupe and took all the panels out to give them a definitive clean. Previous owner had some sort of oil spill accident and after several tries, there was still some residue left. Went to a mates garage, used some dishwasher, machine cleaner and...

That looks spectacular. I have a similar set waiting until I grow a pair and show the headlights some sandpaper. @Cv6benplus so you just used 1000-3000 sandpaper on the second set?

Earlier (las year I think) I had a go at glueing back the mounts of the cowl as 3 have been ripped off. That repair did not last long. Today finally took it off once more and had a go with one of those stapling/welding thingies.

You can get your paint code using one of those BMW vin decoders, like mdecoder.com or similar. And with tha code go to the dealer or another source that sell original parts. Or as an alternative, you can get the part number directly from realoem.com and use that to order the touch up paint.

Those look fabulous, I wish I had a garage in which I could install those 😁

Just installed the Bluebus phone adapter so the calls will now go through bluebus and not the cars TCU.
