    Driveshaft CV joint, just double checking #15 on this diagram is not needed, for non M cars that have the #20 cap cover thing. #21 is needed of course

    Are the rear mount torx bolts (inside the cover) one time use only or can these be reused?
    Is there supposed to be a washer between the mount and where it touches the subframe?
    Anyone have an objection to using a different style of bolt of the same size and grade if I can't fit a torx socket on there? I have CMP subframe mounts

    They actually don't show as TTY/"always replace" in the torque spec doc or TIS, as far as I could tell.

    I see no issue with switching to a hex head if it's the same grade and length. Torx head is just for reduced chance of stripping. Not a bad idea tbh. No washer between the subframe and mount... https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=33_1076 . just for the mounting bolts.

    I have cmp bushings, and initially had a tough time with the bolts as well. You need a lower profile ratchet and torque wrench. Check out my posts in this thread: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...ff-bolts/page4

    Good to know it'll run. Will have to look into the latter part. I'm guessing yes. CA problems.

    Possibly angel eyes on the headlights.

    Another glass question, this time the front windshield.

    I am hoping to buy a new windshield but need to make sure I get the correct one, if it's available that is.

    I know nothing about glass but pulled some #'s off the windshield, after looking at realoem and all the options I don't believe I have enough information to proceed.

    Should I use a VIN decoder to find what P/N I need?

    FWIW this is all the numbers on my windshield that I could find:


    Pilkington 43 R-001047

    AS M 83-3 DOT 25
    E000201
