    Anybody know the part number for the rubber boots that BMW uses for 2&3 pin connectors? Looking to add one to a map sensor

    I believe the bolts are class 10.9. When I had the diff out to replace the cover, I reused them.

    So for rear CV axles, referencing the "washers" and bolts connecting the axle to the diff output, TIS says: "Replace bolts and washers (1)". Does this mean re-install the washers and bolts, or replace all the washers and bolts with new parts?
    The latter. Have fun justifying the $300 or whatever that bolt set costs now

    Is there anything different in the front-core support for our cars and a generic 3 series? It's the same part on real OEM but I'm hesitant to believe that ours are stamped steel like the listings for generic supports online claim

    Ordered two FAG wheel bearings from FCP a while ago - one said made in Slovakia and the other in Germany.

    welp, the AC went out during my weekly drive. Had AC for the first 20 minutes and it quit half way through.

    I've checked the AC fuses (28, 62, 63) and they're good. AC clutch engages and stays engaged until I turn off the AC button.

    Any thing else I should look at?
    update on this: it's somehow fixed itself 😅

    Going to chalk this up as old German car being old German car and it's going to have a few electrical hiccups here and there.

    Another question: does the HVAC control ever go bad?

    Where is the checksum in the DME binary file extracted by BMWFlash? What kind of checksum is it? (I could calculate it and find it with my hex editor if I knew)

    I'm trying to apply some modifications to the file and wonder how to correct and verify the checksum.
