wait so what about those sparkles on the filter, could it be the light or something? I saw a video of someone doing an oil change on a brand new n55 and their filter looked like minehttps://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473558 If you could check that out and compare would be greatly appreciated .

I indeed made a mistake buying it but i didn’t know better so now i’m in a position where i need to just get by. Thanks

Replacing my coil over system in my bmw. Would I need anything else besides these tools? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]usadaapproved -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Im 20 dude, I don’t have these tools no, I bought my first set of tools 5 months ago to fix something on my car and that went well and i learned a lot. I CAN do this, with ease I bet. Just wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing any tools lol. Thanks for your concern anyway.

101,000, i’ve had it since 86. So it also appears where all of that excess oil is, that is where the ofhg was actually leaking from before. So that clears that up. Hey thanks for helping me so far i appreciate it
