Thanks for the info. The previous owner had the fluid drained and refilled at the BMW dealer, however I will feel safer doing the change again. Do you know what type of fluid to use? I am ordering all the parts for the cooling system tonight. As for the suspension, the thrust arms need replace, tie rod ends, sway bar end links and sway bar bushings. The lower control arms look to be fine. Where is the flex disc located?

Also, what parts do you have? I need a few misc parts, such as the rear sidemarker in the bumper, the splash guard under the engine. Let me know if you have those type of things.

P.S. As far as the valve cover I am planning on painting it wrinkle black.
