installed new rotors and pads.. realized front passenger side wheel hub etc was covered in oil residue, thought to myself great, CV issues.. then came to see that the BC coil is leaking pretty bad from the bottom.. so now I have to do that.. lol

oh - on my roadtrip home from the shop, i rcvd the CEL, DSC and Yellow brake light.. wouldnt shift after 3K rpms.. shut her down, rcvd the Trans fail safe.. codes that I got were Cranksenor, cam sensor and another one related to the cam sensor.. cleared it and the lights never came back..

do you guys recommend any sensors to be replaced after 100K miles as a precaution?

Both mine and wife's cam sensor died at about 125,000. Neither have had crank sensor replaced. They are scary sensitive to wear related variance of output. The engine computer is convinced a cylinder didn't fire if it detects a slight delay in the next anticipated pulse from the sensor.

I've only replaced the intake side cam sensor it appears that's typically the first to go.

I only got CEL and occasional shut down though so based on you getting failsafe I'd wait for a little more feedback maybe somebody else had similar conditions.

Ordered up new tires as after all 20K is their life span (rears).

Installed these H11 LED bulbs in my fog light positions to match my high beam LED DRLs

Excellent lumens :thumbup:

Nice !

Got my Weisslicht LED license plate lights today and put them in. A huge difference from my previous LED bulbs that fit into the existing bulb socket/holders. This is a complete lens replacement not just the bulb. Not super impressed with the connection, it makes contact with the existing bulb contacts in the handle and it was a little tricky to get them in and have a proper connection and a solid seal integrity but with a little patience they fit and look good.

*Edit* Should have washed the girl but it is supposed to snow tomorrow... :confused:

Those look good. I've used them before on E46's. They are fiddly.

We are getting snow right now here in San Antonio... LOL. Been over 10 years since last flurries landed here at my place.

Yep, I have the same brand on my E46. They were a shady connection too but been fine for years.

I love San Antonio BTW. Whenever I race COTA in Austin, I always schedule an extra day to drive down visit your town. (and hit the In-N-Out on I35 on the way :D) The Mrs. loves the River Walk and I love the Alamo. :thumbup:

Looks great. Another one I need to do.

I did manage to get my tires ordered today. They should be here Monday evening so I can get them mounted Tuesday.

Went with Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring tires.

I'll be staying at my parents time share on the riverwalk this weekend. Will be nice to take the kids to see the Christmas lights that they do. They'll love it.

I'm still rocking some normal style LED plate bulbs in mine rather than the board style. But I am very happy with these as they are (I believe) as bright as the weislicht ones. And haven't had any issues with them since I put them in back in February.
