Thanks man appreciate it

Rotiform WGR 18x9.5 Square, 235/40 on Toyo Extensa HP IIs.

Got the set for $150, payed $75 to get a cracked one repaired and have been using them for the last year. Got them so cheap because he curbed them pretty bad on top of the crack

The Z4...

Oil change
Tire rotation
New engine air filter

I know, boring. But hey, it's an N52; it doesn't break.

Put the kitty back on. Didn't have replacement bellhousing bolts at the time for the bracket so I just went ahead and installed without.

Then a few weeks later I got paranoid about not having the bracket so I jimmy rigged it back on by cutting off the upper stud. That way I could be lazy and install the bracket without removing the O2 sensor. Ended up not being able get a nut and bolt on the upper mount cause its hella tight so I'm just rocking it with one bolt on the cat bracket. I guess one bolt is better than none.....

This view is so helpful. It looks like you can replace the downstream O2 sensor without removing the cats!

I just wanna give a shout-out to Hoody007 for being an absolute lifesaver and overnighting me his Enet cable for me to get our 235i sorted out before having to head back to school. Wouldn't have been possible without him.

Well... E46. Front brakes, just 1 &1/2 . Some how I just got slow in my advanced age...

In my defense, they were a mess. Not done correctly last time. Went to 3Pedaljake level of cleaning components, well almost his level.

Nothing better than doing a job correctly, I went down that rabbit hole when I did my front brakes a few months ago. You know, when you put it all together and decide to clean the wheel wells then refinish the calipers and then the inside of the wheels.

Yeah if you have a 02 sensor socket (I think its 7/8ths) you can get to it from the top. Just a little tight.

Tried to remove my driver's side wheel arch liner to access the washer bottle, as I think the pump filter might be clogged. Failed miserably. Turns out I'll need three plastic rivets that I don't have, so I stopped before I did any damage.
Why anyone thought it was a good idea to put the tank behind the wing is anyone's guess.
