Greg- vim keeping the calipers, and not particularly interested in removing the bumpers to get at the shocks. Once it goes to the Boneyard, tho...

key won't turn!
My 528i is my daily driver for the past 5 years, no issues to speak of. Today, it got stranded at a shopping center. The key won't turn the ignition lock. I've tried pulling on the wheel in both directions, jiggling it... nothing is helping. Any idea how to get the ignition lock out of the column? I...

The Fuel Injector Seals go between the intake manifold and the injectors themselves. I replaced them about 18 months ago when I did a valve job. Injector seals might cause slow starting by allowing outside air into the manifold and changing fuel/air ratio, but my problem is low pressure within the f...
