'99 e38 with the v8 went nearly 300k with minor maintenance, just oil, one coil, and spark plugs once. Sad we got rid of it, needed suspension but we got a '01 740i instead and it was a piece of garbage.

I am not a mechanic, well not before buying a BMW. Did this on my 645ci a couple of weeks ago, Zip Kit, new plate and seals, but also replaced the gasket set (4 rubber tubes) which were compressed and knackered. Made the world of difference, so smooth now. My biggest PITA was getting the plug seal back in as there is no room on the back of the 645 to apply any pressure unless you drop the back of the transmission, or MacGyver a useful tool to help push it home. The transmission filling hole next to the exhaust doesn't make things any easier. Nice Job Johnny.

I would love to see you collaborate with the Kansas car tuber's and build a car to race next year at the Kansas Airstrip Attack in Independence Kansas next year. Build a 230 mph 1/2 mile car. That would beat this year's cars. You, Hoovie, Watch Jr Go, Elliott, and the rest of the gang.

B58 should be up there too… It’s won so many awards… And so many companies actually want that engine from BMW in their cars. Even the Toyota Supra has a B58 and also the Grenadier 4x4…

Yes, if you buy oem. My wife's x5 rear lift struts didn't work and we left it like that for years. I found a couple struts at lkq (finally) for less than $100 for both. Prepurchase inspection listed replacement at $950 5 years ago.

Heater control valve went bad in December on my 2003 Lincoln LS 3.9. No heat! Dumb mechanic pulled the dash thinking I had a blend door issue and the car does not even have a blend door. I found the heater control valve dirt cheap and put it in myself.
