Posts: 3,156 | It's a serious pain in the a$$ to get out of the fire wall. Plan on the old one being destroyed up-front, because that's what will happen... You have to squeeze it and pass it into the engine compartment. Sounds easy, but it will be destroyed; particularly since the engine was not removed. With the engine out, it's slightly easier... | | | 04-20-2006, 08:48 PM | #3 | Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: MA Posts: 72 | I found a old post and you said that you will get so mad and just destroy it,....well yeah that happened and I did indeed destroy it with a hammer and a flat head screwdriver! I'm glad it worked because it just wasnt coming out any other way. __________________ Take Chances,Drive Fast, Be Safe!

Posts: 3,156 | It has to go in from the engine side. It just snaps in place, easy peasy- lemon squeezy! THIS usually pisses you off even further, after the holy war you fought to remove the old one... Be careful you don't put it in upside down!! | | | 04-20-2006, 10:46 PM | #7 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | lol ... i'll do my best that would really piss me off (putting it in wrong) and having to buy another. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
