Well at least you won't have to pay for that again!

Yea that's the reason I bought the big stuff from fcp. Just sucks! Not so sure I want to do it in my driveway.

I think it's doable in the driveway just time consuming. Almost fully pulled a 6 speed out of an xdrive 330 in the junkyard that ended up being cracked and it wasn't super hard. Just gotta get at the top bolts of the housing with 5 miles worth of extension

Soden82 · 10-04-2020, 09:56 PM

Washed her for the first time at my new house.

Sometimes they work sometimes they don't but I'd rather them do that than not work at all. I tested the leds and repaired every solder joint.

Thanks for another great tip. The LED on my driver side trunk are completely out so that is probably the issue. The LEDs on my driver side panel are dimmed out so I'm thinking the issue with those has to be the LEDs expiring. I will try reflowing the solder first and then testing the lights. A better plan than just tearing in there hoping for the best.

I recorded the process. It's a bit destructive depending what you do to open them. I'm baffled nobody has come out with an LED that's the same as the ones bmw used from the factory. I've heard replacement ones sometimes don't look the same as the original

Who wants to help me once again diagnose my front end clunk? This time I have (albeit low quality) videos!

Last night... I was removing the exhaust system on my e91 in preparation to replace the clutch...

As I was removing the last exhaust hanger, one of my bungee cords came loose and my muffler fell & punched me in the face...

I hate bungee cords. They should be outlawed because they always seem to fail at the worst time.

Did you punch it back?

25 years ago we had a bungee cord break on a ship (which I wasn't on at the time luckily). The bungee cord held a 14" video monitor in place. When the cord broke the monitor fell onto the main engine emergency stop button. Did I add there force 9 gale at the time? Vessel was side onto huge waves for almost 20 minutes until the problem was found.

Yup. See my post above.

S65Hunter · 10-06-2020, 02:26 PM

Started cleaning these and prepping for paint. BUT, I fugged up and popped one of the pistons out....don't ask how. In the process I damaged one of the seals so I ordered a new seal kit from FCP. Hopefully I can get the piston in easily...

Can't hurt to post it

E92William · 10-06-2020, 09:27 PM

Ah junkyard disa valves. Always a good sign when the boards capacitor comes off and is floating in a pool of oil inside

colorado.e9x · 10-06-2020, 09:34 PM

Its none of the common clunk causes. Still haven't checked the top nut but it was also torqued down not just with a nyloc nut but with blue threadlocker too.

S65Hunter · 10-06-2020, 09:42 PM

Sounds like when I had a front strut blow out.

colorado.e9x · 10-06-2020, 09:43 PM

Thatd really suck if thats what it was, they're just over a year old now but the clunk started a month after install
