The hoses overall looked to be in good shape, but did have some oil in them. They do not come off easily, but they are cheap enough to just replace. The pressure regulator valve are the real culprits as those seals tear.
While I had the airduct and intake out, I noticed a leak around the vacuum pump, so that'll be next task. I believe there is an o-ring seal that needs to be replaced. I cleaned it up a little bit but it'll definitely need to be scrubbed down. I've looked at a couple DIYs on this job, looks fairly straight forward, but the motor will have to be turned manually to line up the tab/slit from the pump to the motor.

11.17.18 - Battery Replacement @ 75,7xx
We had our first cold day of winter on Wednesday, a little bit of snow and ice as well. After work, I went to warm up the vehicle. (position 2, heater on, steering wheel heat, defrosters, etc). Cranked the vehicle, took slightly longer than usual but fired right up. A second later my cluster lights up like a christmas tree. Engine failsafe, trans failsafe, heater blow fan goes out, HVAC lights dim, wipers are going crazy. Turned vehicle off, turned back on - fires right up and no issues. Drove home with no issues as well. At first I thought (and it could still be a possibility), that my alternator is starting to go bad. Waited one day, turned vehicle on Thursday morning for work and no issues and at all. Thursday after work, again, no issues. Temperatures have been slightly warmer than earlier in the week. Inspected my battery since I never did prior to purchasing the vehicle. Current battery is from Dec 2007! I am heading up north next week for the holiday and I don't want to be stranded anywhere along the way. I went to Sears Auto Center this morning and picked up a DieHard battery, sucker weighs 52 lbs! Battery replacement should be fairly straightforward, a bit of a pain having to remove so much crap to access it. But this will also give me some time to clean up the area down there. Hopefully I won't have anymore hiccups in the future and i'd like to hope my alternator is good as well. Regardless, the battery needed to be replaced.

Jon, I'm sure you'll have a pleasant trip. You know how sensitive our BMWs are to voltage. Where are you headed?

Don't know why my response didn't post, but we're right off exit 5 of the New Jersey Turnpike. If you want to stop by on your way home let me know, we can grab a coffee or something.

Friends
May I ask a cheeky question? If you have fitted the trunk /tailgate spring mod? Where did you get the springs from? Is there a danger that you push the button inside the car and the tailgate flies up and clobbers some obstruction/person? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I guess if someone were standing literally over the tail gate and you pressed the button inside the vehicle or on the keyfob, yes you could hit them. But odds of that are very slim, you'd have to literally be standing up against the vehicle. My bad, didn't see this until today. I am back in VA already. Huntington is only about 20-25min from where my folks live in Garden City
