Finally replaced both gas pressurized hood springs (#51238402551). Getting ready for a full power steering overhaul.

Oil filter housing gasket replaced due to leak. Dealer did is for $550 out the door which I think is pretty damn good considering I also got a 16 528xi for the day.

Whoa... is the work for the OFH different for the Oil Pan Gasket? Dealer is quoting $1500 for the Oil Pan Gasket.

Completely different thing. The OFHG is accessed from top of engine by removing air box, fan, power steering res., belt/pulley, and alternator.

Two new tyres, new front rotors and pads, new thrust arms and bushings, new tailgate light.

Ordered new mirror puddle light and rear windscreen wiper arm.

200 miles done since I bought it last week :)

Replaced the outside mirror glass on both sides with asymmetrical versions. I thought it would be a 5-10 minute deal. There must be a 'trick' I didn't use. For me it was one of those projects that are a dream to take apart and a nightmare to get back together, necessitating a liquid supplement to patience.

$1500 is a good number for the oil pan gasket.:thumbup:
