Picked up my ECS order. Has a lot of projects.
- Misc trims, clips, hose clamps, etc.
- Oil pan gasket (so i can drop pan at next oil change and look for any metal/plastic)
- Oil filters
- Coolant tank cap (mine was breaking down)
- Oil fill cap (leaking)
- Bumper side mount (snapped drivers side when removing)
- Rear wiper (it came bent
)
- Headlight washer distribution piece (small piece, need to pull bumper to get to)
- Tons of brake fluid for the X5 and my track car
- Drilled/Slotted ECS rotors - they look sweet
- Pads
- Rear upper suspension arm/joint (This was the only part I ordered non-OE. The TRW was a quarter of the BMW part. I figure the BMW one won't likely last four times longer and I'll need something to do down the road anyways
).
- Rear sway links
Also have previous parts order to deal with:
- Install the OE hitch
- Fuel filter
- Transmission filter/fluid gasket
- Thrust bushings
By the looks of it I'll have the front and rear bumpers off, lots of stuff dropped from the bottom, and the four corners pulled apart. I'll take it off the road, rip it apart, get it all done and borrow my brother-in-law's winter beater. I should probably not show the completely dissected vehicle to my wife, seeing as it technically is supposed to be her car and we only had it 2 months.
Wish me luck….
Cheers.
