An interesting note for your DIY and just general info.

I just returned from the Dealer Parts Dept. and pick up the strut brace stretch bolts and sparkplugs which were listed at $30.80 ea, but when i mentioned that O'Reilly's Auto Parts down the street offered them at $20.99 & even though O'Reilly's did not have them in stock, the Parts Dept honored that price.

The bolts were $5 each, but when i asked if they really needed to be replaced, Parts Mgr said he didn't think so and they would have to order them. As we discussed the need, I asked if he minded checking with the Service Mgr, which he gladly did. Service Mgr said they don't replace them unless they look compromised or damaged.
That's good to know.

If you're a BMW CCA (perhaps NCC CCA) member, they have a discount code that is 35% off but it may be only for pre-release date manuals.
