Finally installed extended paddle shifters!

[nsjames]

well it's been exciting.
started yesterday doing some PM.
then I broke a bolt off in the transmission.

yay!.

so I tried drilling it out.
for 8 hours yesterday.
after I had broken an extractor off in it...
I quit at 1 am after all my bits were wasted.
up and at em this morning with new bits. Still getting no where.
So I used a carbide burr and hogged it out, got to not hardend material and drilled it out after an hour.
crooked of course.
So I picked the remnants of the bolt out, then drilled it 1/4 and put a M6 helicoil in it.
Reinstalled pan, filled with fluid, no leaks.
amazeballs.
Changed the oil, went for a test drive, then put the aero pans back on.

worst. trans. service. ever.

That's not true

Parts came in yesterday evening. Started the work last night and finished up this morning. Harmonic Balancer pulley, bolts and the serpentine belt are new and hopefully good for another 100 K miles.

Lowered the front ride height by 1cm with this free and easy modification to the struts: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...8&postcount=70

I have non-Sport suspension (C5 front springs) and I'm happy with the resulting ride height. Perfect for a daily IMO

Brake fluid flush, oil change, washed/waxed insides of wheels and quick detail on the outside.

Disassembled the rear interior to get to the tops of the rear shocks.

In the process of upgrading my heated non-sport steering wheel to a heated Sport wheel with paddle shifters. I rewired the paddle shifters to function like normal ones (pull left to downshift, pull right to upshift) using this thread:

The trim is from an X1 and fits any wheel that uses the Sport model airbag:

I get this feeling, too; I work out of town a lot and I use rental cars to get around.

I always look forward to coming home and taking the 335i out for a drive.

Nice, great to find out you did this after hearing that you might.

How do you like the B6s? I'm constantly on the fence but I have a suspicion the B6 are better matched to the wagon bc we have a bit more weight.

Noted on the Babauto tool.
