What have you done to your BMW today?

[StuntmanMike]

Saturday I decided to change the crank case breather.
Four hours later I have the offending part out and another hour spent connecting the new on up, this morning I have got to put everything back together.

This job is a ball ache.

Over to you ...

Right, jobs done, car runs and there are no codes thrown up, lumpy cold tick over cured, I'm really chuffed with it.

Two things if you want to do this job.
One, buy the breather that comes with all the pipes, every pipe broke on mine, they are plastic and old.

Two, remove the dipstick tube and clean out using a cable tie and Gunk. If you don't you have wasted your time and money doing this.

Now I have a split intake boot and rocker cover gasket to do next.

Springs are a piss easy DIY.
What light is on? Yellow EML?
Do you know what the code is?

De-chromed the front end today...

I don't know which I prefer, nice car anyway.

Mine seems to have been cured by running it on Momentum99 and replacing the crank case breather, plus cleaning out the dipstick tube.
It was coming up with P420 Bank 1 cat.

MOT'ed it, this is MOT number 7 with me and the first to fail, failed on rear tyres.

Fitted a new knob to my E46 M3. It is the one from the F10 M5 and it looks so much better.

Will give it a test drive tomorrow.

Hoping you mean Gearstick, any chance of a picture?

[StuntmanMike]

Had rear tyres fitted, Vredestiens, washed it, cleaned with gunk the bonnet mechanism because it's sticking, didn't work, any tips on how to adjust it gratefully received.
To do.
Sparkplugs.
Rocker cover gasket.
Intake boot.

[StuntmanMike]

Had yet another frigging puncture.
Thats 3 on the front tyres, so have just ordered a new pair of Vredestein Vorti's.
At least they will match the Vorti's I put on the rear 4 weeks ago.

[StuntmanMike]

Had front tyres fitted.
Now have Vredestien Vorti all round, zero tramlining, car feels like it's had new suspension, really impressed.

Is that an M3? You back in a M3 again?
Nice.
