Not a terribly hard job, but you should be on a somewhat leveled lift, be able to do the correct torquing procedure, and have a pump to put oil in. You need to use a diagnostic tool to monitor temperature to make sure filling level is correct.


I am curious on recommendations for cooling system refresh. I will probably start hunting down prices on those components. Change before they go bad. I am at 84,000 miles now.

I would anticipate changing the crankshaft pulley/dampener around 100,000 miles along with accessory belt.


My windshield cowling is starting to deteriorate, so I am going to replace that too.
What scan tool have you guys used to monitor temperature/level? I am looking to do this here soon and looking for a good scan tool for my 328d
BimmerLink has this functionality.

Two different trans temps available in the sensor values section.
