Installed my rear deck sun shade... After having it sit in the garage for a year.
Sadly the motor was bad and I tried to repair it, gorilla glue did not hold. A pin through the stud would’ve worked but I was tired of messing with it, so I’ll just manually roll it up. Fixed a bolt through the shade base so the arms could still move. Also the tab i put to pull it up looks hideous. I can pull it up from the sides with no tab. Also had to paint the very back plastic black. Up until today, that parts had never crossed my mind.

Changed brake fluid, this type I used a one way valve bleeder. I am quite impressed, it was a one person job, for less than $10 on eBay it is a bargain. My parts guy had this fluid in stock: Pentosin, not sure if it is better than most? Brake pedal is firm and stops well.

Yup. Removed the hard drive, plugged it into my PC with a 2.5" IDE to USB adapter, and ran a sector-by-sector backup of the whole drive.
Follow this guide through Step 4 for removal: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1426773 An important thing is that the pins are exposed and can be easily bent. Also, only handle it by the sides. Do not press on the top of the drive. |

Took it out for short drive. Was quickly reminded of this squeek/crackling noise suddenly around my drivers side window frame. Very annoying. Will address it, once things somewhat get back to normal.

I searched and found the motor for $170 new. Or a used shade assembly with old motor for $80. Bmw doesn’t sell the motor by itself. |
