2004 BMW 330I ZHP MAINTENANCE LEDGER
Ok.....everything in my preventative/corrective maintenance section below....would/could pose a problem for you and this car in the future....my car is a 2/2004 330i, manual, with zhp package.

When looking to purchase
Look into/ask the question on whether or not the coolant system has been overhauled....the last time brakes were done.....what about CAB's and RTAB's.....check all window's (including the sunroof...ffs....for smooth operation)....check the sub frame for cracks......look for any type of oil residue on the block (take a flashlight with you)....Ask to see any/all maintenance records....ensure you operate the AC/Heat, and listen for abnormal sounds.....take the car up to a high rate of speed and note any irregular vibration.....check all lights.......drink a beer....ask him what kind of oil was used for the oil changes....drink another beer when you get the answer.....

Also....much info can be gained at http://www.bimmerfest.com/wiki/index...ook_out_for.3F

By the way, for those with Android phones, I recommend aCar. I am still setting up all the various categories, and have yet to appropriately setup the alerts, but great as a general ledger to track your purchases and repairs. I've also talked to the developer about corrected the formulas for ownership costs since the app doesn't account for the date of purchase, mileage at time of purchase, and cost of vehicle at the time of purchase. And yes, my ownership cost skyrocketed because of my money shift :(

26292628263026312632

And I don't mean to derail, so let me know if this was not appropriate, and I'll make a thread somewhere else...

[danewilson77]

Perfect.....Thanks T!

Dane,

Thanks for taking the time to write and post this up. It is very informative and especially helpful for guys like me who are looking to purchase a ZHP. How many miles were on the car when you purchased it?

Thanks

[echo46]

DW, why so many tire changes? My Bridgestones are only a bit over a year old and the rears are showing significant wear. What to you suggest? Hankook or the kuhmos?

I do 30k miles/yr...all non stock ride height. I go through one set/yr.

I tell the wife they only come with new rims.

Wow, that's ridiculous. Do you like the Kumhos? Thinking about getting them.

Wow, that's ridiculous. Do you like the kuhmos? Thinking about getting them.

Yup...the Kuhmos are a fiscally responsible tire. So are Hankook's. So are Yoko's.

Thought i was on ECST for a second....Nice list, Dane!

[danewilson77]

Yeah...none of that is purchased yet. I only have the parts required for VANOS (Seals/Rattle), and cooling overhaul....on hand.

The list above is my next order.

[Hornung418]

Copy.

Dane what are you using for the paintless dent remover (I'm looking at trying to remove 1-2 extremely minor dents if possible)? For paint chip or knicks I'm going to try Dr.Colorchip.

Was it leaking or preventive?

Never done before. Was losing 1qt per week, and I see fresh oil in the waffle area of the block.

Gasket removed was flat/brittle, with some suspect low spots/dents.

Hope I'm tight now.

What source did you follow for the repair procedure?

[alexandre]

I used this DIY (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=657887) when I did it in August.

[danewilson77]

What source did you follow for the repair procedure?

My own.

I removed...

1. Intake
2. Scoop and fan
3. Powersteering reservoir
4. Alternator
5. Oil supply line (banjo bolt) to vanos intake.
6. Remove 6 bolts for housing.
7. Tilt out housing, clean both seating surfaces. Stall new OFHG.
8. Install everything.

Interesting. I'll have to check out the acar app. Liking your todo list too.

[JupiterBMW]

As always, looks good brother. The to-do list before SIGfest is a healthy one, but I'm sure you'll have it all completed. Of course, we will be talking about some things once I acquire a new car. I might be able to help you out a bit.

As for those ///M door sills, I'm intrigued... I too would like something other than the OEM chromies...

Why the studs? Just easier to deal with? That's expensive stuff!

Yeah. Strange item = headlight washer nozzle.

I did the stud conversion to ease maintenance, get some badass open ended lugs (Titanium Muteki's on order), and some say studs are safer.

My old E32 had close to 300k miles on the original CATs and it still passed California SMOG with good numbers.

BTW

Which 02 sensors effect MPG and performance? If I recall correctly, post cat effects SMOG, and the pre cat effect MPG and performance? I think it would be good preventative maintenance for me to change the 02 sensors since I am about click 170k miles.

Your reasoning is sound above, I believe.

Yeah....I think it's recommended all 4 get changed out at 100K miles. I had previously changed out my pre-cats, and now my post cats are new. I just don't like driving with a code all of the time....and I need an excuse for a sick exhaust too.:)

His codes are coming from the post cat O2 sensors. One of which I think is still throwing a code because it is cut and stuck inside the exhaust. I think the person to pull that O2 sensor out will be crowned the next king arthur.

Rotella T6 is like liquid magic for an "experienced" M54. I run it exclusively and enjoy far less oil consumption than with any other brand.
