Just got back from camping. She handled amazingly, except for finding another front end part which needs replacing....sigh She was muddy as hell and loved every minute of it. This pic however was before all the fun.

Replaced all the coolant hoses and expansion tank. Almost 2 gal of fresh BMW blue sauce and distilled water. No more annoying drip on the tile.

The two radiator connected hoses were missing the retention clips, were not leaking, and took a huge effort to remove. I'm talking about using serious leverage to pry them off a millimeter at a time till they popped off.

Replaced alternator in my wife's 03 3.0 and still need to do her front passenger window regulator.

The 4.8is got new rear tires; Continental DWS 315 20's. Also, replaced the rear sway bar links. Gonna order powerflex sway bar bushings front and back, ordering their thrust arm and lower control arm bushes as well!

Let us know how the powerflex bushings work out. All poly bushings that I have used always developed a squeek in the winter.
