Hello E90 post community, I use these forums frequently for technical information and don't post on things as much as I should. There isn't a huge amount of support available for the xi model cars it doesn't seem like. So I wanted to do a write up for a major job I just completed. It turned into somewhat of a charlie foxtrot so I may have glossed over some things because the job took significantly longer than I would have liked. In any case I Will cover in this write up how to do:

o Jack up and position vehicle for service
o Serpentine Belt replacement
o Front Swaybar replacement
o Hubcap replacement
o UUC short shift kit for 328xi
o Shift Knob replacement
o Transmission fluid flush
o Front Differential fluid flush
o Rear Differential Fluid Flush
o Coolant flush and drain plug replacement
o Front brake caliper/pad/rotor replacement (335xi brake upgrade)
o Rear brake caliper/pad/rotor replacement (335xi brake upgrade)
o UUC stainless steel brake hose replacement
o Parking brake replacement
o Front Wheel Bearing Replacement
o Rear Wheel Bearing replacement
o Crank shaft position sensor
o Intake manifold gasket replacement
o Valve cover / valve cover gasket replacement
o Ignition coil removal and replacement
o Spark plug replacement
o Most of the work required to change your starter motor
o Most of the work for replacing the eccentric shaft position sensor

** I added a new PDF write-up on 4/24/2018





Some of the things I may move quickly through and there could be a few typos here or there. Hopefully this helps some people.
