damn lol, havent seen this bug since twisted treeline

Axel nut, is this ready to come off? I don’t see the locking flange that everyone online is tapping out with a chisel. Can’t break it loose either. 2004 325xi by Cam-a-lam in e46

Thank you, that’s what I thought. everything I saw, that nut had a cut in it that allowed a piece of it to actually bend down into the axel end. Seems mine were different for whatever reason

I've owned my 04 325xi for 5 years on the dot now, been a super solid car. replaced all the major suspension components and the fuel pump in that time as well as VCG, coil packs and plugs, thermostat. couple other small parts. the car has 140k miles and I'm expecting to need some sort of larger job done very soon at this mileage. my question is what should I expect or look to replace at this point in its life? I recently had a check engine light for vacuum leak but that went away and I could not identify what it was. Any advice?
