Hello all! I, like many of our fellow brethren, was stupid enough to not do a cooling system refresh when I bought my car two years ago. Six months later... well, you all know the story. Anyways, I am on the last stage of rebuilding the engine, and I cannot, for the life of me, find where this...

Hello everyone! I have just bought a 2000 BMW E46 (323i) Sedan. It has 120k miles on it. Power steering needs to be serviced (or replaced). The interior and exterior are in great shape (except the windshield cowl). The car has been consistently serviced (according to Carfax). To be on the safe...
