Video How to get to the Oil dip stick on a M3 CSL

[Bounce]

I had a go at this today, got stuck on how to get the airbox intake part out, so found the vid... so now I know I have to take the pollen filter housing out too. Which is useful, thanks a lot Mark...

I also found a present from BMW Cooper Reading sitting in the pollen filter tray ! Crap photo but it's a 27mm spanner, so pretty damn big !

Look at all that extra weight you've bin carrying around.:hahaha:

But on the positive side, you got a free spanner :smokin:

Now I just need to work out what the hell on the car needs a 27mm spanner.

The real job was to check the airbox for crud, and it was all pretty good in fact. A bit of oily grit but not the plentiful sand dunes that some have reported.

Hi i shall do a video how to get to the oil dip stick under the air box



Hope this helps :thumbs:

Spent ages yesterday scratching my head working out where the hell the dipstick was.
Embarrassingly, I'd had to check the manual, then check You Tube!

What a ridiculous faff when you want to do a 'quick' check/top up!!

:banghead:

Hello,

Does anyone still have this video?

I found a small leak which I think comes from the pentosin reservoir. (The weather was a bit hot the other day and it might have spilled)

I wanted to give the engine a good clean.

By the way, what is the torque to apply to the strut brace when you put it back?

Kind regards,
Alex

Here is a very good guide on how to remove part of the airbox.

I believe the bolts are secured with 12Nm, but i will check when im back at home.

Yes, Leo's guide is very useful.

Thank you
