I ordered the tools from ebay. I have ordered a lot of parts from germany because it is much cheaper. The parts that has not been aviable from the german site, i have ordered from a site called schmiedmann. I would say that schmiedmann besides dealer is the place to buy oem bmw parts from 😄

The valve covers are ready for blasting. My dad has a pretty big blaster cabinett, but he uses re-useable small steel marbles. Would that be ok to use on the covers. Or should i use glass or something else? =)

I picked up the rest of the parts ordered, so now i have all the guides, chains, gaskets, ccv parts, waterpump+thermostat, and new steeringpump at home 👍😄 this became a pretty expensive winter maintenance project 😜

Thank you :-) schmiedmann have one thing what i think is really good, it is that you can browse realoem.com and take the original number for the sparepart you want, and just copy that to schmiedmanns search field and just add to shopping cart. 👍

Didnt bother about the sterring fluid comming out of the hoses when changed yesterday. Today i poured the oil in a clear bottle and the oil is pitch black. Pentosin chf11s is supposted to be light green 😄 whats the best way to get as much old oil out of the system? I was thinking of dissconect pressure hose from pump again, rise front end and the fully turn steeringwheel left/right

Did a separate thread about the guide tube for the dipstick. How do you get it out of the ac bracket hole? 😄
