Best Of :: People & Places
Dallas-based organic-gardening, lawn-maintenance and tree-health expert Howard Garrett has been Dallas' own premiere organic guru forever and ever, but now, thanks to a continental radio hook-up, he belongs to the entire nation. If you're traveling and can't miss a show, go to his website for a national list of radio stations that carry him. There are some people who listen to Garrett who don't even care about gardening: They just tune in to hear him rip Texas A&M and the big chemical companies. If you took Rush Limbaugh, made him a nice guy, gave him a brain, put him on a strict diet ... oh, forget it. There's nobody else like Garrett.
Forget the women up around Northwest Highway — the ones "working their way through college" or whatever. The best stripping act we've seen for years in Dallas came last year when Erykah Badu strolled up to Dealey Plaza and stripped with a purpose at the spot where John F. Kennedy was killed. Oh yeah, then she died (metaphorically, on film). The act was shot as the music video for "Window Seat," the lead single off of Badu's brilliant New Amerykah Pt. 2: Return of the Ankh, and the message was a simple stab at the world we live in: If we let society look through us, if we let others dictate our actions, if we're too scared to show our true selves to the world, then we're killing the best parts about us. The Dallas Police Department didn't think it was a very powerful statement: They slapped Badu with a $500 fine for disorderly conduct after a single complainant, after the video was released (and months after it was filmed), came forward. Our stance? Dallas could use more daring and provocative types like Badu. Progress shouldn't draw a fine.
"Hotel art" is a phrase that makes many cringe because, well, there's a whole lot of underwhelming abstract prints and landscape scenes to be seen in most hotels. But the Belmont is just too cool for bad art, and that's why the hotel displays art from local talents on the walls of the lobby in their Art with a View series. The hotel has always been a hip destination for poolside parties and now even pop-up shops, but Art with a View brings a certain refinement to the kitschy hotel.
We don't think we'd offend local NBC affiliate KXAS-TV news anchor Jane McGarry if we called her a cougar — mostly, we think, because she seems to know she is and embrace it. Such is especially true in the social media world of Twitter, where McGarry uses her fairly dirty mind to express herself — and pretty much never on the topic of news. Where would she find the time, between sending flirty tweets to KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket radio personality Gordon Keith and D Magazine editor Tim Rogers, and flippant innuendo after flippant innuendo? Not long ago she tweeted about a producer pointing out "poles" on the news set. Then she tweeted — and, for reasons we're not altogether sure about, with a winking emoticon — about somehow losing her skirt somewhere. Are we reading too much into this? We don't think so. And, before you accuse us, no, we're not jealous of the other media types getting her attention, either. We just prefer to watch.
They say Deep Ellum is Dallas' premiere neighborhood for music. Well, "they" must never travel down to the just-east-of-downtown neighborhood during the day. With its classic brick wall backdrops, splashy murals and — get this — buildings that are more than 10 years old, Deep Ellum's greatest export these days is most likely its wedding photography. Every single day, it seems, another couple can be seen, dressed in tux and white gown, following a hip-looking, camera-toting cat around the neighborhood, looking for romantic — yet undeniably urban — settings for their wedding photo collections. It's easy to understand why: Shooting your wedding photos in this setting says, "Hey, we're cool! We don't just get our music from Starbucks. Hell, we probably even have tattoos!" True or not, that's a sentiment people like to express about themselves.
Because it's The Mansion. What? You were gonna say something else? Let's hear it then. Didn't think so. Next.

The communities could pursue legal action - even if the artist was disinclined to do so - where artworks, stories and images were being used disrespectfully, changed or adapted for commercial purposes, or misidentified.
Senator Alston said works would be protected where communities had signed agreements with their constituent artists, and flexibility would be used in defining what constituted a "community" for the purposes of the legislation.
"It will cover those who are regarded as being able to speak on the community's behalf. It won't be just one person - it may be the chair of the community council or maybe a group of elders," Senator Alston said.
"A large part of this is the community stepping into the shoes of the artist, but it's also the communities themselves wanting to have confidence that they are in control of their own stories."
The decision, to be announced by Senator Alston with Attorney-General Daryl Williams and Indigenous Affairs Minister Philip Ruddock, comes after lobbying from indigenous artists' groups and Democrats arts spokesman Aden Ridgeway, who moved similar amendments unsuccessfully in the Senate last year.
He argued that "indigenous Australians are the custodians of knowledge and practices relating to the land that have been developed for countless generations".

RalliTEK 4EAT Transmission Mount Insert Bushing
This kit only includes the insert, not the transmission mount.
Availability date:
RalliTEK 4EAT Transmission Mount Insert Bushing installs in your factory transmission mount. RalliTEK 4EAT Trans Mount Insert provides improved shift feel and response. This bushing will insert into your factory trans mount and remove excess drivetrain movement caused by soft and/or aging rubber in your factory mount.
Designed specifically for the smaller mount made for Subaru 4 speed automatic transmissions. Requires removal of factory mount from vehicle. Bushing insert installs best with a bench vice. Install instructions are included. Usually takes less than one hour to install from start to finish.
RalliTEK offers two versions of this insert. One is soft for every day street driving, seconds is hard for track use. You can use the harder insert for every day driving, but be aware it will contribute to a bit more drivetrain noise than our softer version!
Fits 1988–1991 Subaru XT, 1990–2004 Subaru Legacy, 1992–1997 Subaru Alcyone SVX, and all Subarus 1995–2007 & 4EAT transmission.
Note: This only works with the one piece tranmission mouts. Some Subaru applications have a two peice style mount.
2004 Subaru Forester XT
I installed this with a friend with four jack stands - two jacks and a couple beers. Even with messing around we got the car up and everything out and back in, in under an 2 hours. We did have to shimmy the cross member out because of my 3 inch exhaust but it still came out without removing it. Once it was out i used the supplied grease and a table vise and it went right in. That took all of 3 minutes. Key is keeping the bushing and the mount aligned. Extra hands come in handy! ;p
I bought the hard mount because I have already gone through one trans and didn't want to mess around with stuff moving around under a heavy load. With that said I have a full exhaust and UEL headers. I can feel and hear the trans slightly. The exhaust still drowns out any extra noise this thing adds and for the piece of mind knowing its down there doing its job i honestly wouldn't mind if it made tons of noise. I hope to add more stuff from RalliTEK in the future because the fit and quality is second to none.
Thanks RalliTEK!

Not only is Breezy promoting his new music but he is also spreading positive message in his latest music video.
Chris Brown releases a music video for "Don't Think They Know" that features vocals from the late Aaliyah. He kicks it off with a powerful message for unity campaign, "Every two hours in America today a child dies of a gunshot wound. Unity is what we are afraid of. So fear is insanity, let's love each other."
Breezy then gets on the street, joining the kids in the neighborhood and taking a stroll against the backdrop of a black-and-white city with splashes of bold red and blue colors. "[I'm] bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I'm from," he says.
"Hope this new single inspires change and unity! Life is a Gift. I love doing what I do. All the little things count!" he additionally tweeted. "As a young inspiration to all types of people around the world, I have a moral obligation to let go of grudges or bs."
The single is expected to appear in his upcoming studio album "X".

In keeping with the broader scope of our new blog we thought we'd do a few posts about other topics that may be of interest to our Voyager readers. We're kicking it off with our contributor Mark's debrief of his trip last weekend to a Lego Fan Convention! Any other topics you'd like to discuss or see more posts about? Let us know in the Forums!
As some of our Forum members know ( and anyone who has read my bio ) I'm a bit of a Lego Geek/Nerd ( I'm not sure which I identify as, but thats an argument for another day! ) and have been for over 10 years. We're also known as A.F.O.Ls or Adult Fans Of Lego. When I started buying Lego Star Wars sets back in my early 20s I hid the sets and claimed I was buying them for my nephew or godson, but now, I'm out and proudly buying sets whenever I can!
Last weekend I attended my seventh Australian Lego convention, this one was called Brickvention, in Melbourne at the Royal Exhibition Hall. There are also annual shows in Canberra and Sydney with smaller regional ones popping up all the time. One day is dedicated to talks, competitions and socialising with the other two being public exhibition days. Both public days sold out at 9,000 visitors each day. There were cosplayers raising money for charity and independent stores there, including ones who make jewellery from lego!
On the convention day we had a talk from Lego Australia's CEO and a Senior Designer from Denmark ( where Lego is still largely produced by the same family owned company in the town of Billund. ) who shed some light on the process of getting a new product theme into production. It was interesting how much market research they do into what their main audience ( boys 7-14 ) want, how they try to tailor their product's stories to that, and the extraordinary costs involved in creating a single new colour for lego parts or a new shaped part. Stories also play a large part in lego branding these days, mostly revolving around a conflict between good and bad guys, often over a resource that they both want. Back when I was a child it was less about conflict and more about exploration- a sign of different cultural thinking perhaps?
In a broader sense it was surprising to see how many non-families ( though they were certainly the majority ) came to see the models and how many adults expressed a fascination with Lego. It feels to me like there has been a massive "mainstreaming" of Lego in the last couple of years; we've seen it used in advertising and with the increasing tie-ins with movies and comics its has reached a new level of geek-cred and collectability with the general public. For example before the Hobbit movie came out late last year the Hobbit Facebook page posted photos of the Hobbit actors, in costume, holding the Lego versions of their characters.
Here in Australia we also celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Lego being sold in Australia, originally by a single door-to-door salesman, last year. The company made a huge effort by creating events all around the country with billboards, pop-up building sites and giant versions of Lego trees and flowers appearing in cities and the desert near Broken Hill. This undoubtedly also helped raise the profile of Lego in the general public's awareness. It's perhaps a little known fact that Australia had the first lego-brand store in the world, which I remember going to in Sydney as a child. Unfortunately it's no longer open, but still, impressive!
I take my inspiration from movies, TV shows and of course books. My big "Blacktron" ( named after a lego-owned theme from the 1980s) spaceships are heavily inspired by the classic sci-fi art of the 70s that adorned so many of my early sci-fi books's covers. Being a bit of a steampunk fan I'd love to do some more wood & brass vehicles in lego form too. All my models are my own designs built without any instructions and the conventions are just as much an art exhibition to me as they are a chance to meet and talk to fellow AFOLs. Much of what I exhibit at the shows is kid friendly, like my Wall-E or Bumblebee the Transformer ( no, he doesn't transform! ), but there's a few adult-oriented ones like my Big Kahuna Burger restaurant- an extrapolation from a burger chain referred to in the movie Pulp Fiction. I also exhibited a model of a book cover I made to celebrate the author's ( one of our long-term mailroom buddies, Jim Sonter ) retirement.
I'd encourage anyone with an interest in going out, picking up a set ( or drag one down from the childhood cupboard ) and just give it a go! It's fun, creative and there's a great community of men and women out there for those who'd like to get involved.

Can you see any actual damage to the screen? Cracks etc. Look carefully all around.
Shine a torch on the screen. If you can see a dim image, there is a problem with backlight, inverter or cable.
If nothing, the screen or LCD cable is the culprit.
(cables/connectors could have been dislodged if lucky)
You'll need to open it up and have a look.
Have a read of a few of those and see how you feel about having a go yourself.
Post back if you get stuck or need more info.

BOSTON -- The Red Sox made official what we knew for days on Sunday by activating John Lackey from the 15-day disabled list. Lackey will start the series finale against Houston.
Catcher Ryan Lavarnway, recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday, was optioned to make room on the roster for Lackey. Lavarnway did not appear in a game for the Sox.
It will be the first start in Fenway Park for Lackey since Sept. 19, 2011, when he gave up eight runs on 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings against Baltimore. The right-hander missed all of 2012 following Tommy John surgery, then suffered a right biceps strain in his first start of the season April 6 in Toronto.
Manager John Farrell said he hopes to get five innings from Lackey, who threw 70 pitches against the Blue Jays before the injury and 67 in a rehab outing Monday for Double-A Portland.
Lavarnway hit .310 (13-for-42) with a home run, three doubles and seven RBIs while with Pawtucket prior to the recall.

text: Abhinav Shukla who will be essaying a grey shaded role as an NRI in Star Ones upcoming fiction named Geet- Sabse Hui Parayi is actually going to be his last show on small screen because this guy craves for something other than acting in dailies.In a face-to-face chat, when we asked Abhinav about his character in the show, he says, "Even though I have never been abroad but just because of my look, I bag certain roles of NRIs. It might be my similar style that makes me look like some foreign return guy. But acting is really not what I actually want to do, I had certain plans before coming to this glamour field but now I have made my mind to head back to initial my plans.What exactly are your plans? "Well, I have planned to fly abroad as I have interest in being a D.O.P (Directors of Photography) and not an actor and thus soon after the show, I will be taking an admission into the D.O.P course at New York University. So, this show will be my last show after which I will drive my own way to the destiny what I actually wanted.Well its a bad news for Abhinavs fans that they wont get to see more of him after the show. But still guys, we never know!

"I'm hearing that people can't make decisions now," says Rob Enderle, a longtime technology analyst. Enderle is not a fan of Cook; he rates the CEO's freshman year only as a C– performance. But he concedes the decision-making issue may well be the result of that cultural shift. "When people who have been micromanaged lose the micromanager, they can be afraid because they've been trained not to be risk takers."
There have been defections, most notably that of retail boss Ron Johnson, who left to head J.C. Penny. But companies like Apple develop star executives, and it's no surprise when one leaves, it's to become a CEO. Cook's challenge wasn't to stop that flow -- there's no way he could -- but to manage the fallout, which is exactly what he did.
For example, after Apple cut back employees at the Apple Store this summer -- a store whose signature appeal is its friendly, knowledgeable staff -- Senior Vice President John Browett (likely under instructions from Cook) sent out a memo telling store employees that Apple had "messed up." Can you conceive of that memo going out under Jobs?
Apple's China situation is somewhat different. As COO and the man most in charge of Apple's supply chain, Cook arguably deserves part of the blame for allowing the plight of overworked employees at Hon Hai's Foxconn factories in China (whch build most of Apple's products) to fester for so long. But suffering under a barrage of truly terrible publicity following a searing exposé of conditions in the factories by the New York Times, Cook as CEO didn't just hunker down. He's pushed to make significant changes.
As a result, Apple and its suppliers agreed to allow the Fair Labor Association to inspect three Foxconn facilities in February and March in "one of the most comprehensive and detailed assessments in the history of manufacturing," the group said. On Tuesday, the group reported the results of its follow-up investigation: "Our verification shows that the necessary changes, including immediate health and safety measures, have been made. We are satisfied that Apple has done its due diligence thus far to hold Foxconn accountable for complying with the action plan."
Compare that action to that of Cook's peers in Silicon Valley and indeed throughout the tech industry (most use Foxconn's factories, too): Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman publicly fretted any action might raise HP's costs. The rest of the industry said nothing, and if they've done anything to improve their own China situations, they've been silent.
Filling two pairs of Jobs' giant shoes
To say that Cook had enormous shoes to fill when Steve Jobs retired would be trite and an understatement. There wasn't just one Steve Jobs, the most celebrated CEO in the world -- there were two. "There was Steve Jobs, and there was the idea of Steve Jobs," says Sutton. To his credit, Cook has not tried to be either one.
Both the retail store issue and the much more significant Foxconn situation point to a man who is not afraid to act differently than his predecessor. Even if Cook did not order Browett to change course at the Apple Store division, the fact that it happened at all speaks to the positive changes inside Apple under his stewardship.

ON WHAT we have been told over the past few days, the AFL and its competitors are threatened by the following: organised crime, shonky sports scientists, cowboy supplement salesmen, juiced-up gym junkies and, most ominously, Asian match fixers with designs on the A-League.
Essendon has been menaced, meanwhile, by the Batman-style villains of The Weapon, the Pharmacist and Dr Ageless, as ''Sister Jab'' administered needles from their Botox clinic hideaway. Despite - or perhaps because of - these nefarious activities, the Bombers still couldn't run after round 14 of last year.
As alarming as all this sounds, the AFL et al should also beware of other unscrupulous ''parties'' who stand ready to peddle dangerous influence on the competitions, to insert themselves into the scene and impose crackpot schemes on the sport.
No, they won't sell steroids, ply players with cocaine or pay them to take a dive. They will glad-hand players in the rooms, attend the lunch with the club president and won't hesitate to be in the company of winners. Some of them take a serious interest in your competition and club. They will proclaim that they worry deeply about the health of the players and the game.
But the AFL and its brethren should beware the predations of the politician.
The combination of the Essendon fiasco - seen by some as a grassy-knoll conspiracy, others as a lone chemist shoot-up, but certainly a stuff-up - and the Australian Crime Commission's alarming report on sport is an absolute gift to the political class in an election year. The Prime Minister, a genuine Doggies fan, called the report ''sickening,'' while her opponent, Tony Abbott - a Manly supporter with the good sense not to fake interest in the AFL - was ''dismayed''.
Abbott said he supported tough new legislation ''in principle''. Justice Minister Jason Clare, revelling in the revelations, said: ''It's cheating, but it's worse than that. It's cheating with the help of criminals.'' Sports Minister Kate Lundy, echoing the words of George W. Bush at Ground Zero, vowed that the cheats would be hunted down and brought to justice. ''We will catch you.''
But how will the cheats, match-fixers and peddlers of peptides be shut down, what solutions are in the political wind? This columnist has little doubt that performance-enhancing drugs (PED) have been underestimated by the AFL, the NRL and perhaps even cricket, which, as journalist and author Gideon Haigh rightly noted, is riper for PED infiltration due to the rise of 20-over cricket that emphasises brute power, in the same way that famed American baseball hitters became roid monsters.
Match fixing is a danger, too, but clearly less developed in this country than PED. In the AFL, the only apparent manipulation of outcomes has been by clubs themselves when early draft picks have been on offer. In terms of clear and present danger, the substances used to cheat are Australian sport's (and especially the AFL's) Al Qaeda - the major enemy that must be stomped on. Testing is seen as a 20th century concept, so the emphasis is shifting to surveillance and police work; this means the AFL and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) will become joined at the hip with police, customs and so forth.
The pollies know that the buzzwords from the ACC report - ''cheating in sport'', ''drugs'' and ''organised crime'' - are emotive and require tough terms such as ''crackdown'', the ''war on'' and ''zero tolerance''. Unfortunately, populist rhetoric about cheating and criminals doesn't translate into sober, rational measures. Often, it is the mother of crude policies that play well on talkback radio, without achieving much.
So the corruption of sport is already starting to sound like an old-style law and order issue for the election, in which there may well be an auction between Labor and the Libs to see who can be the most hairy chested in ridding the country of cheats and sports-connected crims.
If drugs that give players an advantage are the primary problem, then the similarly emotive, health damaging and more widespread issue of illicit party drugs has already polluted the policy waters.
Ben Cousins is a drug addict. Lance Armstrong is a drug cheat. Intelligent people should understand the difference, yet in dealing with the issue of drugs in the AFL, substances used to get high and those used to jump higher or run faster are constantly conflated. Just as many Americans initially thought Saddam Hussein was behind the September 11 attacks on the US, many folk here are outraged that the AFL allows players three strikes when they are cheating.
Just as Jeff Kennett continues to conflate and condemn the broad brush of all drugs, without making the crucial distinction, don't expect Canberra's politicians to differentiate between ''cheating'' drugs and ones that hurt only the person who takes them (and potentially their loved ones).
Eddie McGuire was right when he noted to this column that both kinds were sold by the same people and that once a player enters the orbit of cocaine, speed etc, he is more likely to find human growth hormone offered. But while there is an intersection between these nether worlds, the difference is enormous and important.
Some within the relevant sports are already saying that the ACC report was light-on for specifics, suggesting that some GST has been added to capture the public interest.
That may be so, certainly the report sounded like it was crafted to create urgency. Equally, however, one has to accept that there are serious problems that have been ignored.
The question is what needs to be done. Beware of simplistic solutions to complex problems. The answers still lie mainly within the sports themselves and with police and experts, rather than with politicians with an eye for a headline or sound bite in an election year.
Consider, finally, which organisation is more infested with criminals and other dubious characters - AFL football or the New South Wales Labor Party?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw outlasted Jered Weaver in a matchup of Los Angeles aces and the Dodgers rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Angels 3-2 on Sunday, preventing a Freeway Series sweep.
Pinch-hitter Aaron Miles, batting for Kershaw, drove in the tying run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly and Tony Gwynn Jr. won it with a two-out single. The Dodgers ended a three-game skid, though they remain nine games below .500.

Four Reasons to Bank Online
Update your banking style and find big savings
If you're like most modern Americans, you do much of your shopping online. Now, more and more people aren't just spending their money online, they're keeping it there practically full-time by using the online features offered from their financial institutions. Online banking and online shopping are similar in many ways: they are easy to use, highly accessible, allow you to remain seated comfortably at home and can even help you save money. Here are four reasons to check out the online offerings from your financial institution.
1) Cut Down on Fees
When customers use online banking tools, they have less need to go into a branch and work with employees in person. The more banking customers complete online, the more financial institutions can save by cutting back on brick-and-mortar operations. This is good news for you because financial institutions typically pass these savings onto their customers.
In order to encourage the use of online banking practices that save them money, financial institutions offer a variety of incentives and rewards, such as reduced fees and account minimums for direct deposit and online bill pay and rewards for using online statements. Go onto your financial institution's website or head into a branch to find out what rewards are available to you when you start banking online.
2) Online Banking May Help Save
There is one subtle advantage to banking online that can be a powerful tool for growing your account balance: online banking may help you make fewer withdrawals and save more. Using online tools for banking, instead of repeatedly going into a brick and mortar branch, can have the subconscious effect of making some people feel more disconnected from their money.
The benefit of this is that feeling disconnected might cause you to think about your accounts less often and therefore make fewer withdrawals. This can potentially lead to spending less and saving more in the long run.
3) Mobile Tools Make Online Banking Highly Accessible
Mobile developers and bankers are aware of the growing number of people interested in online banking and are making tools to keep up with the demand.
"Twelve million people used mobile banking services in 2009, according to Frost & Sullivan, a research firm," states Constance Gustke from Bankrate. "That number will climb to 45 million by 2014."
"The biggest benefit is that you have more control of your money," says James Van Dyke, president of the financial services and payments research firm Javelin Strategy & Research. "You don't have Internet connections everywhere you go. But you do have a mobile connection." The constant availability of mobile networks means that you can check your funds no matter where you are, even if you don't have your computer or access to WIFI.
4) You Get the Benefits of Online and Traditional Banking
Many people think that the best rates and smallest fees are offered by online-only financial institutions, but great deals can also be found by using the online tools offered by a traditionally-based financial institution. Now that online banking has become so popular, traditional banks are adding a vast array of online banking options and mobile tools to stay competitive.
When trying to find the best deal, it is important not to just look at the interest rate because so much more goes into saving you money and growing your funds. Using the online tools at a traditional financial institution gives you the best of both worlds. You can take advantage of incentives for banking online and avoid the common hang-ups of online-only banking, such as the potential difficulties of depositing or sending large checks and the inability to form a relationship with an employee who knows your community and your preferences.
If you would like to learn more ways to save, or if you have questions about bank accounts, please don't hesitate to give one of our financial experts a call.

BMW E46 3-Series DIY: Oil Change
***All, the original site hosting the images was removed. The pictures along with the full DIY can now be found below***
BMW E46 3-Series Oil Change DIY
This DIY article will help you successfully change the oil and oil filter in the E46 3-Series. This was done on a 325xi so there might be a few variations between the different models, but all should be closely related.
BMW recommends 15,000 miles for oil changes but i feel that is way more than it should be. I personally change the oil every 7,500 miles in the BMW
I know people have preferred oil types / weights / change intervals. This article is not to debate on these items, but to show the procedure to change your oil.
Philips Screwdriver
17mm Socket
36mm Socket
3/8" Ratchet
1/2" Ratchet
Torque Wrench
Ramps / Jack Stands
Oil Pan
OEM Oil Filter Kit: 11 42 7 833 769
Synthetic Oil- 0w40 (Amount depends on your configuration- check your owners manual)
***Pictures show 5w30, but the approved BMW oil is Mobil 1 0w40***
First thing we want to do is to get the car up in the air. I prefer race ramps, but you can get the car on jack stands using a jack. If going this route use the appropriate jack points on the car highlighted in the owners manual.
Pop the hood and crack the oil fill cap. This will make for a smooth drain once you remove the drain plug
With the car in the air you can grab your philips screw driver and go under the car. We need to remove the belly pan and the trans pan to access the oil drain plug. There are 7 screws holding the belly pan in place. I have highlighted their locations below
The design on this pan is great because the screw stay locked in the belly pan when loose so you can't misplace them. Once these 7 are loose you can remove the pan from out under the car.
Next move farther back and locate the three screw holding the trans cover on. Repeat the process and remove
With cover cover out of the way we can locate the drain plug. It is located on the passenger side. A picture of it can be found below
Position your oil drain pan beneath this bolt and grab your 17mm socket. Loosen it and remove it slowly so you don't drop the bolt in the oil pan.
Let all of the oil drain out of the pain while you work your way back up top
Time to remove the old oil filter. Grab your 1/4 ratchet and your huge 35mm socket.
The oil filter housing is located just to the left of the power steering reservoir. Remove the cap
Before you remove the oil filter make sure you put down a paper towel or rag as it will drip. Below is a shot of my old filter still attached to the housing
Grab your right angle pick and remove the old o-ring fitted into the oil filter cap as shown below
Grab the oil filter top and the end of the oil filter. Easily pull the oil filter out of the housing
Grab your new filter and o-ring from the box and install on the oil filter cap. The filter will just snap into place. I recommend lubricating the new oil-ring with a little bit of oil
Re-install the oil filter. Use the recommended torque specifications as written below
Torque Specifications: 25Nm (18 ft-lbs)
Locate your new crush washer from your oil change get and replace the oil one located on your drain plug bolt
Crawl back under the car and make sure all of the old oil has drained out of the pan. When ready you can install the drain plug bolt and tighten it down to the torque specs below
Torque Specifications: 25Nm (18 ft-lbs)
Reinstall your undercarriage panels
Grab you oil and fill to your recommended specifications. When complete, get the car down off the ramps or stands and start the car. Run engine check and check the level of the oil. Add if necessary
Oil Service Indicator Reset
1999 & 2000 E46: You need a service internal reset tool. You can also do it manually by following the link below
Manual Service Indicator Reset
Post 2000 E46: On Board Computer
1. Hold the odometer reset button and while turning Ignition to Position 1. Hold button until it displays "OIL SERVICE" or "INSPECTION" with RESET
2. Release button and press it gain until "RESET" or "RE" flashes.
3. Press the button again
That is pretty much it. You are all set for a couple more thousand miles before your next oil change
Hope this article has helped and motivated you guys to continue doing your own maintenance. Any questions please feel free to ask.
Very good pictures and writeup, until the picture of a non-BMW recommended oil. In the Mobil 1 line, only 0w-40 is LL01 approved. Not meaning to start yet another discussion on what oil works or doesn't, just making an observation. For reference, BMW US approved oils are at http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...ngineOils.aspx
My 330i does not require removal of the belly pan. There is a small opening just behind where the belly pan ends. Do you have to remove the pan because it is an xi, or because it is a 325?
One thing that I'd add is that it's probably better to undo your oil filler cap and oil filter cap before undoing the drain bolt
Has any one noticed that the price of oil had gone up a lot at the auto parts store? Local store has mobile 1 sythnethic for 8-9 bucks a quart. And the wal-mart has those jugs that the op has for 24 bucks.
My 328i doesn't need to either.
oil filter housing
My 2004 318i does not have a 36mm head on the top instead it has a flat dome top with the standard grips on the side for a filter clamp. how do you get 25Nm of torque with a filter clamp?
25 nm is equivalent to 18-19 ft/ lbs. If you use the filter wrench and get it tight you've nothing to worry about.
Good DIY. I bought a liquid extractor and do not need to lift the car, remove the belly pan or remove the oil pan bolt which can strip. I simply remove the oil cap, extract the oil, change the filter and fill with oil.
I also use an extractor. No need to ever jack the car up--everything from the top. Is there any reason why one would not want to use an extractor on a E46 to save time and the ease of doing it.
I thought you want to go from the bottom drain plug to check the oil for contamination (sludge, metal bits, etc.) at the plug to warn of other potential problems. I'm old school and remember learning this as a kid. Let me know what you all think...
Great write up! Great pics.
Something worth mentioning; my 2000 (11/99 birthdate) is OBD II and I am able to do the reset on the cluster.
Perhaps edit the oil reset instructions: instead of dividing the procedure by year manufactured. Change to OBD I vs. OBD II
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Bimmer App
Not to rain on your parade.....you are using the wrong oil. That is not BMW approved oil and will sludge and/or cause all your seals to become hard and leak no to mention the O rings in the vanos.
Use Pentosin or LiquiMoly MADE IN GERMANY
Sent using BimmerDroid
The manual for my 2001 325i states specifically that Mobil1 5w-30 or 5w-40 is strongly recommended.
Hi Guys,
I have a e46 318i 04 model that has done 186000km. I,m getting mixed amotions about the grade oil I should use. I've been using castrol edge 5w-30w but was told to go higher. Please give me some advice.
What does your owners manual recommend? In the US, BMW recommends these oils. These LL-01 oils, however, are not the same as recommended in Europe, so others may be recommended in Australia.

My only real concern is that as the modules become available that the folks
that have lots of these firewalls installed via ISO (CDROM ONLY) will not be
locked out .. I note that the survey that was done not to long back showed a
high amount of folks using the ISO and our dn/load logs on our hosted
FTP/HTTP site shows the same ..

That's my understanding... updatabe firmware an so on opens the possibility
to write installer scripts for modules or even a module manager, which if
accepted could speed / ease the installation of these things...
The initial goal was to make something easier than patching the original
mono over and over and over - you still need to drop your files in the
system, but that's it, which is easier than hacking the menu's which may
have already been hacked for someone else patch before - which would further
complicate the process for more novice users...
not perfect yet, but a voyage of 1000 miles begins with the first step -

AT&T on Thursday will launch new cloud-based unified communications services that give businesses the ability to integrate chat, email, VoIP calls, audio and videoconferencing and more over desktops and many mobile devices.
AT&T UC Services will be made up of UC Central and UC Voice. UC Central will give a business a single user communications interface for both mobile and desktop computers, while UC Voice will offer IP telephony from an AT&T cloud that can be used alone or with UC Central.
UC Voice will run over the Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution system.
Shawn Conroy, vice president of voice, collaboration and unified communications for AT&T Business Solutions, said the new services will give workers at businesses of all sizes easy access to a range of communication tools for better collaboration.
With UC Voice, a business won't need to buy a new PBX switch or any software licenses.
Conroy called the service simple and affordable, and a spokeswoman said a business can pay per month on an as-needed basis. Other pricing details were not announced.
A virtual launch event is being held at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday to demonstrate the new service.

Sherri Hill: Queen of Pageant Dresses and Prom Dresses
When it comes to prom dresses and pageant dresses, Sherri Hill designs lead the way to coveted crowns. Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith, Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner, Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson, and Miss America 2006 Jennifer Barry were all crowned while wearing Sherri Hill pageant dresses. Even the third runner up for Miss Teen USA 2007, Caitlin Upton, whose response to a question about the inability of Americans to locate the U.S. on a map made her an overnight YouTube sensation, was wearing a classic baby blue Sherri Hill dress at the time.
An intricately cut bodice combined with an hourglass fit and fun detailed pockets make her jewel-toned satin creation the envy of many prom queen hopefuls. Similarly, her long, black satin dress kicks it up a notch with a thigh-high slit and red lining - not to mention the rhinestone cherries that adorn the pockets. For those who need a bit more roominess, Sherri Hill's short, gold and silver sequined party dress is made from tiered ruffles of silk chiffon and features a wrapped empire waistline.
For those who are more daring, one Sherri Hill purple sleeveless gown features full front coverage but is slit to the waist and comes together with ties. The tie design is repeated in the backless gown, leaving some - but not all - to the imagination.
If beautiful elegance is the goal, Sherri Hill designs never disappoint. From an exquisitely cut long strapless gown with a large bow at the empire waist, to a pleated shimmering gown with a sequined sweetheart bodice, her gorgeous designs are timeless. In another of her prom dresses, yards and yards of beautiful satin-finished silk chiffon make a woman feel as though she's floating, while the intricately shirred bodice and rhinestone straps make her feel like a princess.
Sheri Hill's collections of pageant dresses and prom dresses are elegant and bold, making her designs both coveted and treasured.
