Feelin for ya mate re the axle...

I took the opportunity to do some needed maintenance. Seems like all the known faults are happening since I bought this thing....

So just replaced the water pump on my N62 (surprised old one lasted after I took it out), tracked down and eliminated an annoying ticking sound from passenger side dash (tweeter), installed radio station logos artwork for each channel in my Dynavin stereo, found and fixed a faulty stop light contact, replaced missing hood emblem, new wiper blades etc and washed, polished and detailed the thing to look all clean....

job done....

then today the rear passenger door handle carrier broke... :thud:

Cheers

And I'm feelin' for ya!

Had the rear drivers side door handle carrier break on me last night in the cold... I have a brand new front passenger handle carrier sitting in the X waiting to be installed in better weather. Guess both will get installed together now :rolleyes:

Mine does that occasionally too. Not (yet) enough to warrant tearing the door apart to sort it. ;)

A lot of work on the x this weekend.
Lowered 30mm i the front, 5mm spacers in the front, and 15mm spacers in the. While I was in there at also got a super clean up in the wheel wells. Looks good,
and drives so much better.
Dark side blinkers also put on, fits perfect.
And last but not least a coolant flush, just to be sure that it is winter ready .

Read my posts about the handle carrier. If it has the blocking pin saw it off so the handle dry-fires and you won't break the thing when the lock gums up and stays locked due to cold weather.

I bought the Creator 310 V7.2 Scan Tool on eBay for $40 Best Offer accepted.

Hope to resolve my Self Level Suspension Inactive fault code.

Joined that club last night. Going to replace the driver's side regulator while the door is apart, it's been "clicking" for a few weeks.

Oh, and the front driver's side ABS sensor isn't reporting a value. Quick inspection looks like it's dead; wiring got pulled out of the insulation/jacket somehow.

changed the drivers door handle , after it broke last Monday, took me 30 mins to do :)

Finally installed a tire rack in the garage to hold the extra set of wheels and tires...this week will be a wash and finally some coding as I now have my computer setup with bmw scanner software :)

Added a dash camera, hard wired with an add-a-fuse and a 12v-USB converter in the fuse box.

Wired up the auto-unlock function of my e-light - wish they would tell you to hook the black wire up (or that it may need to be done) in the installation manual... but now my doors auto unlock when engine is turned off.
