Nice list Manny Ive done most of those too. if you ever need a hand with a suspension lmk I know first hand how much easier it is with two ppl getting the fronts out. Also I'm pretty sure you can add sway bars in the suspension section they're super easy to swap

sorry guys, back again with more questions....I'm still 2 months out from heading back stateside so I got a lot of time to research/browse lol
definetly. more confidence in venturing into BMWs with guys like Manny around! I grew up with hondas but I've ventured off into just about everything, owned an is250/ wrx/evoV/skyline/s15/ but have yet to jump into bmws :X I was looking up OEM parts and I'm surprised at how not expensive they are? very comparable if not right about even with parts for an acura tl (my other "luxury sedan" option) For example I looked up window regulators/motors since that seems common and on drivewire.com and turnermotorsport.com they are under 200 bucks, but I could have sworn I've read on the forum here before a regulator or motor, not sure which it was but it was $600, so after labor some guy forked up a grand to fix a window....that's the kind of stuff that made me shiver/stay away..Are expensive BMW repairs more a case of people getting raped by dealerships on parts and labor like it seems? Now 150 bucks, some beer and a tech day at the house, that I can do all day. lol. |

[QUOTE=Manny_World;13691111] Forty something dollars for the part, over $1,200 for labor. Plus other work done bought the bill up over $2,200 . Let me add that was the last time my car went to the service department. The internet is full of information, as long as you put aside time (and money on the right tools), just about everything can be done at home. For the money that I spent at the dealership, I could have got a set of upgraded turbos. Even if anyone need something done and I don't know how to, I'll be willing to learn and help figure it out with you. [/QUOTE
Good God. Yeah that def sucks, much rather buy upgrades with that money!! E46s any more or less difficult to mess with than an E90? I know newer cars tend to make things more difficult to get to as if almost to force you to take it to the dealer LOL. E46s are luring too since that body never gets old, for under 10 grand it leaves me plenty of cash to spend on preventative maintenance since it'll surely have higher miles maybe even mods. any e46 guys here? just wondering Last edited by NolaKojo; 03-24-2013 at 08:46 AM.. |

Anyone know if anyone does coding here in town for LCI tails and if they need the Footwell Module? I hear some can tune around it so I don't need to buy that additional 300 dollar part...
