I don't have an oil pressure gauge set, but since you have one, I might need to buy one!😂. I was wondering if you were going to pull out the scope and give us a peek at the water in Cylinder 6! Also, that's a sizable cache of parts you're accumulating / re-purposing / selling in the first bay!
Love your channel. Can you tell me the name on the strut bar? Also, I'm missing my curtain air bags on my newly acquired 2001 330ci, but there's no airbag light on. Is it possible it was coded out or can the cluster light have been removed? Thanks.
The only markings on the strut bar is Active. No idea if they are a good bar or not. Dusan Strut Works (DS Works) makes some really nice strut bars front and rear for these cars. I’m not sure if you can code out the airbags or not. I would maybe scan the airbag module with INPA to see if there’s any codes. You can also do a cluster test to see if the airbag light works. It’s an LED so really won’t burn out. It should also light up when you first turn the key on.
In the e46 - the ZF 5speed is much stronger than the Getrag. Makes sense as the higher HP 328/330's all got ZF5's and the the 323/325's all got the Getrag 5speed manual. As far as the automatics, the ZF auto is stronger than the GM auto as well. Most of the hate for the getrag comes from drifters who constantly clutch kick them non-stop.
@@robsweekendgarage definitely my engine runs as smooth as, just the gearbox that’s getting a bit tired it still goes into gear well etc it just clunks a bit now it’s got a fair amount of backlash in the gears

@@robsweekendgarage Thanks for the information.
I thought the getrag was the stronger gearbox a lot of people say the ZF is weak!
I’ve got 263k miles on mine and it’s still going strong 💪

@@robsweekendgarage fair enough mine does need a new box soon as it’s getting noisy I will go for a 5 speed ZF instead!
@@dexietyy7922the high mileage ones are my favorite. Often much less neglected than ones with 150k miles on them.
