Lexol FTW. The owner of the local leather restorer shop came to one of our BMWCCA meetings, and he said Lexol is the only stuff he recommends. I...

Trust the red loctite. It's powerful stuff. 8 ft-lbs is nothing - hand tight is usually about 20 ft-lbs - but I've seen that spec several times,...

Is it true that R56s have two thermostats?

I don't know. That's a good question. The torque you apply to the nut stretches the bolt and creates a tension that clamps the wheel to the hub....

Yes, that's correct. The red loctite does most of the work. 9 ft/lbs is basically hand tight. Red loctite will not come loose without heat. As...

It's common to use a hollow auger to obtain soil samples, especially in soft clay that's typical in Texas.

In defense of those drivers, it looks like some of them were distracted by the onlookers. Car goes where the eyes point it...

It's actually a smart idea to do those two things at the same time - that'll save you some $$ from having to get an alignment twice.

If you've got the whole front end off for the supercharger oil, you might as well pull the engine to do the clutch. That'll make the power...

Not true. Fixed camber plates are compatible with any stock-diameter springs, aka lowering springs. Coilovers are a different animal, and you...

Best present ever! Makes rotating tires a breeze, and shaves 15 minutes off any maintenance or repair operation. Stuck suspension bolts, stuck...
