This thread is what I call doing God's work sir. Great job saving the life of that poor innocent M. You're doing an amazing job giving her life again.

Got the rest of my cooling parts in, put 12MM spacers on the rear and detailed the engine bay. I'll have outside pictures of the car next time it goes out.

I can also now add valve cover gaskets to the never ending list.

Thanks guys!
After replacing the oil cooler and oil I put in 8 liters of oil as to not overfill it like it was before then the oil level sensor did not read the level until a while after so when it finally did read it was "below minimum" so I immediately pulled over and added a quart then it still wanted a quart, when you replace your oil cooler, especially with a bigger one chances are you'll need more than 9 quarts! Thankfully nothing has happened that I've noticed thus far. |

Wow, incredible job so far. Can't wait for the coils to go on. I myself have Jerez Black but in an E90M. I almost ordered the black Arc8's but Anthracite was on sale lol. Stoked to see the finish product. Keep up the good work.

Yes, I do. My rod bearings and camber plates came in the mail today. I'm gonna try and get at least at least the Ohlins put on sometime this week. Much more to come!

Time for some updates. So, UPS found my rod bearing/bolts and they arrived today along with my Ground Control camber plates. Everything will go on when I have some spare time.
