More parts got thrown at the 130i yesterday

Full brake replacement from this:

New TRW OE spec rotors, ceramic pads, upgraded rubber brake lines from Schmiedmann, wheel sensors,  various bits like brake screws, metal retaining clips and rubber/plastic bits on the calipers. Fully flushed the brake fluid and new stuff in the reservoir. 

Also replaced my trunk gas struts which were pretty rusty 😢

Managed to get the vanos filters/check valves in as well while the wheels were off. Definitely a bit of a pain even with full access through the inner fender. Old ones had a few bits of crap on them but otherwise pretty clean for 185k kms.

Now to drive it around for a few days but already there's a bit more bite and stronger pedal. Lost a bit of feel with the ceramics bit I'll take that for no brake dust. One of the brake lines was pretty bad, glad I got them done reasonably quickly after it was picked up in last wof. 

 

Next is to replace the crankcase ventilation hose that got knocked off or broken when the starter was done a while back 😅

 

And maybe even the oil pan gasket this summer 🤣
