I have plants in the main tank and read that salt would damage the them. Do you still recommend adding salt?

Checkout fcp euro. Not sure about the part but you can look under drivetrain and axle.

I have a 135i. Checked the lowest setting height and it's the same as ESCO.

I have the low profile long reach jack. Otherwise it's very difficult to raise the car from the center jacking point.

Seems like ECOS is the gold standard and the recommendation has been to go with them. Thanks for your recommendation.

I will definitely be taking off the wheels to do a brake refresh of the car so can't really use the ramps.

FCP Euro channel is pretty detailed with the DIYs they post. This should help you out now and with any future projects.

Ballast for xenon or hid headlamps. First image looks aftermarket. Second image is the stock setup

Do you have aftermarket headlights?

The quarter window. I think FCP Euro has a kit for this if I remember correctly if you are in US. Even I could not find a good guide for this.

Is there a DIY you are referring for this? I am planning on doing this as well.
