The tank part number for vehicles without headlamp cleaning (S502A=No) is specified as 61677892701.

Does this version plug and play with the oem CSL front bumper?

Ordered a back up OEM CSL front bumper kit from Schmiedmann. Need to figure out if there's an OEM CSL washer fluid reservoir available for a no headllght washer M3.

What brand water pump is that?

Saleri. Thankfully bought from FCP Euro so I'm exchanging it and hoping for a better outcome this time.


Got all my rod bearings changed out. Pastigauged each one to get some peace of mind that everything is in spec. They've been done at least once before as warranty/recall work according to the circular “422” sticker on the B-pillar. Copper is just starting to peek through the top halves. Cylinder 3 has (what I think is) weird wear on the bottom shell. This car is at over 142,000 miles, so I'm planning for the ACLs I installed to take me past 200k.

It's finally rod bearing time. Got the top of the engine bay prepped yesterday and came across some annoying finds. Biggest one is that my water pump has been leaking and the shaft has some play after only 3 yrs / 17k miles. Idler/tensioner pulleys are all gone too. And I'm gonna bite the bullet and do a PS refresh because I have a few leaking lines.

Anyone know where to get the AC (spring type tensioner) pulley only? Really don't want the whole tensioner.
