Crank bolt will come off with a decent rattle gun. Looking forward to following your progress.

cheaper and better to just get new boot struts.

Newly purchased 135i running badly - beginning of a saga?

I was fortunate enough to go to the tank museum in Bovington, England. The place is epic with a huuuuge amount of tanks. King Tiger remains my favourite. -
Oops yes you are correct, should have read e46 330i front, and e46 328i rear. It was a great improvement when we did it on @BatMansWilly 's e36 coupe. We also used braided lines and high quality fluid.
-
The brake balance is best with e46 330i fronts and e36 328i rears. Quite an improvement over 328i front and rears.
-
What issues are you having with the brakes? I've done the 330i brake swap on a 328i e36 coupe with excellent results.

It screams mid life crisis

The one and only person I would recommend would be Kayne Barrie. He really is a genius when it comes to gearboxes and diffs. He is just north of Auckland, so not in Wellington, but well worth shipping it up.

Nothing wrong with bc golds. But yeah fenix is bad - some leak straight away, and some last only a year or less. Not worth the gamble for such an important part of the car. Some other posters will be able to recommend alternatives but I can recommend mishimoto and silverdale radiators.
-
BC Golds are not that bad. Sure there is better but there is also alot worse. Fenix is another story as their rads are known for failing. And a dead rad on the track can quickly lead to a damaged engine if not careful. Just my 2 cents of course.
-
Looking good. I would advise against the fenix radiator - they are cheap for a reason. Better to pay a bit more for a decent brand.
-
Wow the taillights really make a big difference.
-
Very nice engine, but I don't know if $4k is considered 'cheap'.
-
Sweet little car.
-
Wow, that is asking for trouble.

Why was the warranty even discussed? They should be fixing it - not the warranty company. -
What a great dyno! That must make testing parts/upgrades really handy as you will have actual evidence, not just internet yarns or manufacturer claims.
-
What is the offset?
-
If you cant afford the proper coolant you cant afford a bmw. Would you use cheap oil that doesnt meet BMW's spec too?

I agree with Dave. This is nothing to do with the warranty - this is the dealers responsibility. -
Don't shoot the messenger. Its up to you if you want to risk your car.

Very nice build, but I'm to much of a purist to put a Japanese engine in a bmw. Alot of money and nice parts in that car - surely the owner is selling at a loss.

Can you tell us more about your supercharger plans? Is there a kit that enables your supercharger to be mounted up?
