Also double check the torque on the new pan, mine had the plug already installed and I assumed it was torqued, good thing I double checked as it was not which would have created a nice leak down the road |

I bought the FCP Euro Kit. I figure since they have a lifetime replacement on everything including, fluids and filters, I will only have to pay for the parts once.
Another question: Do you take out the plastic pan plug and then replace it with the metal one? Or just keep the plastic one in there.

Suspensions last 100k tops due to this abuse, further punished by potholes and dirt roads. My wife loves the BMW so... You guys have to deal with the sun, heat, humidity and salt air near the ocean.

For the guys that recently did this, how do you refill the second time and top off without burning yourself if the car is warm already? If the main reason for filling at the right temperature is getting the right amount in, can't you just measure how much came out and make sure you put the same amount in? I saw some people jack up the passenger side to add another liter.
I'm planning on doing this on ramps, is there a way to put the car into neutral to bring it off the ramps after the first fill? Thanks! Last edited by Sylverlee; 02-21-2020 at 06:28 PM.. Reason: added details. |

I found this process way easier than I was expecting based on my past experience with doing this on E39s. I'm pretty sure I posted here somewhere after I did my job this spring. I wore gloves, and I put a flame protector over the exhaust pipe closest to the transmission where I might bump it with an arm. This is the kind of thing used by plumbers when they use a torch to solder and need to protect stuff behind the pipe. like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-9-...4002/100345508 With the car on stands and an assistant in the driver's seat with the ISTA laptop, I was easily able to scoot in and out and do what I needed to do to set the level. Daunting to think about, but way easier than I was expecting. |
