Found my problem. Threw a belt the shop said. New tires on now. Conti DWS Attachment 21319

Also taking it to a different shop for alignment as this shop said they did not have the special tool to adjust the toe in the rear...sigh.
Wow, that looks like basically unworn tread on the outside/inside(?).
RTAB and alignment.
Yea my alignment was way off. Tone of toe was right. Got it done right now.
Is the a way to remove the green gas cap pull in the right side of the trunk? I'm trying to remove the trunk liner to get at the rear shock mounts but the gas pull thing won't let me remove all of the liner.
Yes. IIRC there is a place where it separates in to two pieces. I think you can remove it from the liner from the inside also.

Right you are, it disconnects at the neck. Thanks!
The hits keep coming!! Since I've gotten the new tires I ve been able to focus on other vibrations in the car and suspected CSB failure. Jack the car up today got access to the driveshaft and lo and behold the CSB is bad. Figured I'd replace the guibo as well as it looks tired. Any recommendations on brand? Lemforder for guibo? Rein for CSB? Need to get these quickly to replace the worn parts and get back on the road. Attachment 21336https://vimeo.com/137709505
I did lemforder and OE bmw.
Replaced wipers today with Genuine BMW Evo style part# 61610037009. I noticed instructions on RealOEM stating to remove the wiper blade guide part# 61618263685. Can anyone confirm they did this? The blade guide appears to work ok with the Evo blade.
Is there an industry standard or standout brand for wheel alignment equipment that shops have?

Perfect, thanks!
^ Ha, just saw this. Sounds like I should take your word and remove it. Thanks!

When replacing pads and rotors, are there any other screws/bolts that you guys tend to replace at the same time? I'm planning on purchasing four of the brake rotor retaining bolts (34211161806) to have on hand just in case I strip them, but any others people suggest?
Be prepared to drill out the rotor retaining screws. I just did rotors on my '09 Odyssey and they were frozen solid. I broke the tip of an impact driver... Drilled them and did not replace the screws as they are only there for ease of assembly (at least on the Honda--and I assume the same for BMW).

Same for BMW. The rotors are held in by the pads and the wheel when installed, so the screws aren't technically necessary. It sure does make it a lot easier to install though, so what you could do is install a good screen to hold the rotor down, put the caliper and pads back on, then you can take out the screw since the rotor won't fall out with all the other hardware in place.
With my Wilwood setup, I use M3 rotors. The rear rotor screw holes don't line up at all with the standard hub so I don't use any screws whatsoever in the back. It is juuuuuuuuust fine. :)

I saw this deal this morning. I was wondering if it would work on our alcantara seats?

I did not buy anything else... just reused what was there.
Yeah, had a pretty shitty experience with one of those on an e46 myself. If you have an impact driver, like the kind you literally hit with a hammer, I've found that to be your best bet for less-than-corporative screws. Throw some anti-seize on there when you reinstall to save any future headaches :)
I've never tried it on alcantara, but I've been amazed at how well this stuff works. I like it more than the chemical guys stuff I have, fwiw.

Probably cheaper at your local parts store or wally world, though.
My ZHP has the OEM NAV system. The DVD door in the trunk won't open any more. The manual only says "you may need to push the eject button several times." I tried 20 times, no success.
What can I try ?
So yesterday my AC started blowing only warm air at the footwell but the other vents are blowing cold... Did some googling and found this

Did anyone else have this issue?? Is this the right diagnosis?? Thanks!!

No idea. Great DIY though. Afa NAV, mine did that too. Did you try holding the button down? I do recall there is a way to get it out manually. Look on xoutpost.com.
