polley 916 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 You mean finger tight and half a turn, isn't accurate enough? Nope, should be done up until it snaps then back it off half a turn. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 600 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Nice work sir. Is this for the M3 or (one of) the other E36's?M3 of course! Apart from the e30 the others are good to go now that the 46 isn't spewing coolant. Cut down to 4 bmws now, times are tuff! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duvey 245 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 New RTA bushings and shims/limiters in the e36. Thanks Mike for the parts & advice. Damn pressing those things in with the trailing arm still on the car is not an easy job. Fresh WOFs for the e36 and e30. New alignment booked for tomorrow. And thus concludes a full week of doing nothing except working on my cars. Phew. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matth5 471 Report post Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) That was thru Paul at Milland, new clips and screws too. Curious how much you paid? BMWorkshop quoted me over $200 for one... I ordered one online from FCP Euro. Was about $100 including shipping. So stupid that it's cheaper to import parts yourself. Local suppliers are only good for stuff you need urgently...

euroriffic 600 Report post Posted February 25, 2015 M3 got new belts and idlers today, aswell as new front swaybar links and bushes. Rears still to be installed. Also figured out why my ac has stopped working over the last few weeks when I've actually needed it, no voltage to lock the clutch up. Hmmmm the hunt for perfection continues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 600 Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Yes e36. E46 is hopefully similar pricing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLM 57 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 Rebuilt both front and rear washer motors on the touring. The front one stopped on Sunday and the rear has never worked. Both were corroded to hell but now buzz happily. Will see how long they last while replacements come in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
