Fortunately, this was covered under warranty and not at my expense.
THanks that seems to be the same story Im reading about, it just takes a while to get all the tools working correctly. but it should be a zinch once I am all set with my Icom

currently it is not connecting to e -sys. I probably messed up the installation some how.

pretty happy with how the car came out.

Did an oil change today with liquy molly 5w30 will be doing 5-7k mile oil changes.

oil is cheap, timing chains are not.


comparison of m57 oil filter right vs n57 left



I like how the surface area is probably less than half yet the oil change interval has stayed the same. Seems like a big step backward.
