Definitely do motor mounts if there is some clunking. Mine did it very lightly under strange conditions, but I just did motor mounts and I never heard them again.

God drat, that looks good. As some one said in the name thread, M pars are always the answer.

I'm still shocked as to how hot almost all bmw motors run. 100+ish is completely normal.

I'll keep that in mind when shopping. I am starting to lean towards 17's anyways just for cheaper wheels and tires combos since this will just a beater daily.

My front rotors are def warped so between fixing that, new fluid and sensors, I am hoping to clear some of those codes.

Any tips on fixing the ever-present leaking power steering? Its leaking too much to ignore, Ive got a nice red atf spot on my garage floor under it. Ive heard the hoses are spendy, but perhaps just some new clamps or o-rings might resolve it?

take your old hoses to a shop that makes hoses and they can replicate them pretty reasonably. But where is it leaking at exactly too?

What about your rubber pipes? Sounds like one might be a bit collapsed.
