Re: SMG - oil change
The original BMW SMG gearbox oil is MTF-LT2 and comes only in 5litre bottles. One gearbox uses only about 1.4l. I had to buy a full bottle from EngSoon (@$190) a month back PM me if you need some... (still have enough for 2 changes)
Some BMW owners in other parts of...
Re: Bird chirping....wtf?!
My car has got birds too. Yes it happens even when the a/c is off after you turn on the ignition to on. Nothing to do with fan belt cos' I can hear it even BEFORE starting the engine so long as the ignition is on. :furious:
Found this rather interesting article on BimmerForums written by "Ocean-Side M3".

Re: WTS: E46 front CF strut bar
I have got some queries from members here about:
- whether it will fit on Z4? (i think it's highly unlikely)
- whether it will fit on E46 4cylinders 318i (may not clear engine top i think)
Will appreciate if the gurus out there can confirm... :confused:
Re: Group buy for M3 style bootlip....
Nicky,
I think most people may already have this bootlip. :D
Think the "CSL" version may prove to be more interesting!
I have only 1 piece brand-new, still unpainted with original adhesive for sale @ SGD80 firm. Somehow never got motivated enough to spray and mount it.
==================
SOLD to a fine gentleman!
Re: higher pitch after pulley
You mean the crank pulley? I thought that's where the manufacturer designed harmonic balancer is?
Maybe that techie Shawn guy can shed some light on this subject. I am aware that the balancer is required for engine longevity so that the engine internals does...
Re: Irritating sound from rear of E46
Update 23 Aug
J4C suspected that the sound could have been caused by my aftermarket brakepads and so swapped them for new original items. (Anyway two of my aftermarket brakepad mountings have snapped!) According to John, should refrain from changing to...
Re: Irritating sound from rear of E46
My car's rear upper mounts have already been changed (to E46 M3 mounts) but the sound still persists.
I have removed what I can remove easily which includes the spare, jack, breakdown sign and even the CD changer cassette; even tried playing with the...
Re: Irritating sound from rear of E46
Nope, my car's suspension components are stock. Spring+dampers are BMW factory sports.
:thinking:
Riverview did undercarriage check and we did not uncover any suspension play below.
Of late I have been experiencing this irritating sound coming from the rear passenger side of the car especially on uneven road. I know it's tough to describe the sound but I'm going to try anyway:
- rubbery / springy sound
- not hard-hitting / not the metal against metal clanking sound
-...
Re: Mods to reduce FC
Inflating tires to 40-50psi will not only decrease contact patch with the road but will cause uneven wear; so if you are using Michelin PS2...you do the maths :D
Dumping the spare tire is a good idea. Why carry something around that you seldom use? Surely you will not...
Re: How good is KNN Air filter?
In most cases, the more major determinant of airflow would be the airbox design of the car. The difference between air filter panels from a performance perspective is negligible.
Some of the things to look out for in your stock airbox assembly and/or DIY...
Re: No stupid reason to back-out deal
I agree with the others' definitions of "deposit".
This is a function in common terms of trade in general that protect both the interests of the buyer (against the seller from selling to a higher bidder) and the seller (for reserving the goods for the...
