Pull up to open.




Too many spoke for my taste. Wheels look good though. Did you use a centric ring?

No rings needed, they remind me of the 740i wheels.

I always use my thumb pushing against the lock, I guess I'm stronger than I thought or it's my wife's fault for making me strong in one arm...

Zoomed in wheel looks like it was 3D dot matrix printed.

Bwaahaahaa!

My initial reaction was "too many spokes" as well. But i quickly got over it they are kind of very fitting for the location. One might say "majestic".

The Witch has developed a small oil leak from the timing chain cover. So I ordered a complete set of gaskets and seals including front and rear main and will be pulling the engine later this month. I'm also doing chain guides.
I am doing a full suspension (hopefully at the same time) as I will have 5 full days along with the possibility of 2 additional days to do everything. Shop space is available for rent then,so....

I'll try to keep progress posted by things are a little hectic at the moment.

I've done this job a couple times. M62tu.

GAS has very good step by step guide im sure for n62 also.

I did the job with the engine in the car.

Having just swapped two n55 and about to do an s63tu4. I always would try to do a job like that with the block still in the car.

Replaced a dead battery in an aftermarket FOB, CR2025. Locks and trunk options work again.

[andrewwynn]

Did you have to pair again or just worked?

I can imagine.

Keep safe over there!

Stay safe! I served during times like these. Always watch your surroundings.


The aftermarket FOB didn't need to be synchronized. As I was closing the cover, the rear hatch popped open. Locks worked immediately too. I was already planning to synch all three keys again. Glad I didn't have too!

I bet you get some seconds to swap like universal remote where you for sure lost the programming sheet before the batteries die!
