had an oil leak coming out from the oil filter housing

it was coming from that little diameter stopper ..had to change the rubber seal there

lionel ..basically the fibre ones ( black coloured ) lasted me almost a year only ...so i think this upgrade of ALU termostat housing is a good thing to do as atleast it will be there for sometime and would not crack ....

a good upgrade for sure .. TQ ..

and for those looking for one ...go find lionel as he's got a couple more before it's gone ....

it's shows that BMW isn't aint solid by it's desciptions ... or perhaps an ageing BMW aint worth after all .... no matter how well you keep it ....

 

[ssmann]

May she be well.....

The front part is soft, as this is the crumple zone to minimize the effect for the major accident. The impact for the passenger and the drive inside will be not that much. No worries,our car has been design for the safety as well.
