Inspection II Summary

["Manuel Paredes" <ddrk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Grettings fellow Dawgs!!

First of all I would like to say I wish I could have been at the NCC 
Autocross.  Sounds like Amanda was quite the eye full.  I WOULD HAVE TAKEN A 
PICTURE THOUGH!!

Anyways I did the Inspection II on my 95 325i this past weekend and I must 
say I had fun.  I also changed the radiator and thermostat. (I changed the 
water pump the weekend before) The Inspection itself is quite doable.  It is 
time consuming but not hard to do.  I even changed the gear oil to that red 
line stuff and what a difference.  Shifts are alot smoother now.  It aint no 
short shifter but it did improve the quality of the shifts.  My spark plugs 
were black when I pulled them.  Car has 82k on it.  Is that normal wear for 
plugs??  And now my car runs like a champ!  I dunno if it was the new pugs 
or just the fact that it needed the Inspection but I can definately feel an 
improvement.  I recommend anyone who is contemplating taking their car to 
the stealer to get REAMED to do it themselves.  Like I said it dosn't take a 
rocket scientist to change all the necessary items and in the end you save a 
few hundred $$$.  That can't hurt!  They only thing that is a must besides 
the parts and basic mechanical knowledge is a repair manual.  Very handy 
thing. ;-)

If anyone wants any details on the how to e-mail me privately and I will try 
to help as much as I can.  If you have ANY doubts about being able to do it 
yourself take it to a dealer or a shop.  You might pay out your *ss but in 
the end you will feel more comfortable.  DOH!
