Thanks Coupes33,

How do you find the diy side of things? I've done a lot of Holdens, and worked on my current wrx quite a bit, so curioud how diy friendly bimmers are?

So if it was done at 100,000km's i'd be looking to do it again at 200,000km's? I've read some people think its better to not change it?

And in terms of a gearbox, is there other places that if it eventually went could be purchased cheaper or rebuilt? With your amount of power have you had any trans work done?

Thanks in advance,

Ben
