BMW F30 3 Series Space Saver Spare Tire now available at Bimmerzone

Why Get the F30 3 Series Emergency Space Saver Tire Kit?
Many BMW F30 owners dread the run flat tires that come with the car, while its a no brainer to ditch the run flats and get regular tires, you run into the issue of not having a spare tire. Get the spare and move to regular tires without the thought of driving without a spare.

BMW Brake Fluid Change

2010-12-23T10:05:00.001-08:00

Parts that would be needed

1 liter of ATE super Blue (assuming you have the amber fluid before)

Tools that would be needed

Motive Brake Bleeder (to pressurize the system)
VSL Performance Catch Bottle (to catch the fluid from calipers)
Jack & Socket (to remove tires)
Allen Key wrench and Torx wrench
Turkey Baster (yes! you need this)

Important Note: This was performed on a 2007 E60 550i, other BMW models may vary slightly. E36/E46 do not require the removal of the cabin filter as the reservoir is already exposed. (In this case, jump to step where reservoir is already exposed)

Installation Guidelines

Use Allen key wrech to twist (not remove) and lower the rod so you can remove the cabin filter housing

Remove the plastic piece on the side (shake it a little and it will come off)

Once cabin filter is removed, twist the 3 nuts (do not remove)

Remove the 6 star torx screw

And finally to access the reservoir, you need to remove this trim piece, slide the top piece to the right and at the same time, push the right side bottom piece upwards and it will come off (some wiggling maybe needed)

Lay all the pieces you removed and make sure you do not loose any pieces!

Now that the reservior is exposed, remove the electrical connection.

Clean area around the reservior to make sure no contaminants will fall into the reservior.

Keep the cap in a secure location so you will not get it dirty

Important: Remember to use a plastic bag to sheeting to cover the engine bay, you don't want fluid all over the place (corrosive on paint)

Use the turkey baster to remove the brake fluid in the reservior, remove as much as you can but leave a little in there to make sure no air gets into the system

Here is a view of an "empty" reservoir

Pour some brake fluid into the reservoir

Connect the Motive Brake bleeder to the master cylinder reservoir (remember to follow the instructions printed on the Motive Bleeder, Do not exceed 20 PSI at any time.)

Now, Start with the Rear right corner.

Jack up your car and remove the wheel to expose the braking system.

Remove the cap to the caliper bleed screw and attach the catch bottle tube as shown.

Once the screw is released, the oil brake fluid (dark amber) will start to flow

After a few minutes, the fluid will start to turn blue (this is why we use the ATE Super Blue fluid.

And finally, when the fluid turns completely blue, you know that the system has been flushed (well, at least for that corner). Tighten the bleed screw and remove the hose.

Here is the sequence of which corner to do first
Rear Right
Rear Left
Front Right
Front Left
Once all 4 wheels are done, all you need to do is follow the instructions on the Motive Bleeder and remove the Bleeder from the system.
Carefully reinstall everything back to normal.
Remember to test the brakes prior to any driving
Now, with the money you saved, so have a good lunch or dinner!

NOTE: This spark plug guide was based on the spark plug change on a BMW E46, therefore spark plug changes for other BMWs will differ a little.

Pop the hood and start removing the cabin filter as shown in the picture.

Remove the wiring housing (but leave the wires alone) by unclipping the piece

The picture above shows the wiring housing piece removed.

Now remove the 4 torx screws (T-30)

Once the torx screws are removed, pull out the cabin filter housing unit

Pry open the cover plates with a flat head screw driver

Now work on removing the nuts with your ratchet and 10mm socket, remember to remove the oil filter cap temporarily to remove the covers

Once the covers are removed, you will see all 6 ignition coils exposed

Here is another view of the coils

Pull the clip up (connection type may vary between models)

Disconnect the wiring from the ingition coil.

Pull out the ignition coil and use the spark plug socket (5/8) to remove the spark plug.

-And finally, the spark plug is removed, see how dirty and corroded it is?

-Replace all the spark plugs.

-Now re-insert the new spark plugs just how you removed them and torque them down to 18 ft/lb torque or 216 in/lb

-Re-assemble everything just how you removed it and wallah you have changed your spark plugs
