    The lazy way - M52 with the oil filler cap up front, way back for the M50 ... I think There are other ways, of course.

    How much is it to have the waterpump replaced tsaka yun rear subframe shock mounts? My 10 yr old E36 is ok but if it's a maintenance thing to have those replaced then i'll do that. Naka 70,000km na yun kotse ko. Thanks in advance.
