Ok, the story behind my 230 is that I use it for everyday driving since I dont mind the miles on this car and its cheaper to own and maintain than the M is. So In the past two weeks Ive literally changed TONS of things on the car.

-Spark Plugs
-Transmission fluid
-Transmission filter
-Electronic shift plate
-front and rear brake pads
-front and rear rotors
-all 4 new tires(Falken 452's) and alignment
-new bushings
-oil change & filter
-all fluids replaced and refilled(this was actually done for free because of the massive order I've done)
-wheel bearings
-front shocks
-new K&N filters
-fuel filter
-and the driveshaft flex discs

The car basically runs like its a brand new car again. Literally! There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the car before but it has 80k mikes and I absolutely love the thing but I want it to be in 100% perfect running condition

Is there anything on the list that I should address that I havent looked at?

 

Wow, that sounds like you were very thorough.

When you say all fluids, I am not sure what this means. You mentioned engine oil and transmission fluid. Did you also change the engine coolant and differential oil? Power steering fluid? What I have found is that "lifetime" fluids aren't lifetime.

These are just a couple of ideas.

The final missing link is a complete detail outside and inside.

 

How much was the overhaul?!

 

Good job man!
how about cam adjuster? are they in good shape?

 

good tuneup man!! Funny my family has always done this where every part you take off you put anti seize grease on everything. Did you do the same?

 

Haha yea I just really need this car to perform at its peak no matter how many miles it accumulates Yea we did the oil, tranny, diff, coolant, brake, power steering, and windshield washer fluids. And ironically I just finished a 7hr detail today so my baby is in tip top shape. Now the M needs an overhaul and she'll be ok.

Yea, they all checked out perfectly fine the rears I could tell were a bit out and had them readjusted but this was included in the tire installation

ALWAYS!!!! I actually insist on this regardless of the situation! When I had my spacers on the car I stood there and made sure the did the anti seize grease on it so that way I dont have to take a flame torch to them(like my friend did) to loosen them and then remove

This part hurt a little but its honestly worth it because I have never had one problem with the car(Im not kidding, just regular maintenance) so I think my baby deserved it(and thank you tax return lol)

Keep in mind this includes the hourly rate which is $95/hr

-Spark Plugs-$280
-Transmission fluid-$90
-Transmission filter-$50
-Electronic shift plate-$150
-front and rear brake pads-$500
-front and rear rotors-$580
-all 4 new tires(Falken 452's) and alignment-$650
-new bushings-$240
-oil change & filter-$100
-all fluids replaced and refilled(this was actually done for free because of the massive order I've done)-$free
-wheel bearings-$200
-front shocks-$240
-new K&N filters-$80
-fuel filter-$80
-and the driveshaft flex discs-$145

The total came out to $3,285.00 This included the labor and the installation PLUS they spent 2.5 hrs working on the rest of the fluids for free so Im pretty damn happy about the turn out! I also got all this quoted at the dealership and it came out to a little over DOUBLE the price I paid!

Overall: The car drives like its a new car and feels like it has lost tq and hp back. I definitely loved doing this today

 

wow that's a good deal man!
