I picked up a 2001 BMW 540i. Nothing special, but a good amount of power and comfort for driving the little one around. I will have better pictures when they are done polishing it and changing out the clutch and some other things that I didn’t like. Sarah tried to leave with a Denali, but thankfully that was squashed, I will probably be adding a tiguan or a tourag to the garage next to this. ![http://www.cstatic-images.com/supersized/DMI/194453/97529.04.jpg](http://www.cstatic-images.com/supersized/DMI/194453/97529.04.jpg) ![http://www.cstatic-images.com/supersized/DMI/194453/97529.05.jpg](http://www.cstatic-images.com/supersized/DMI/194453/97529.05.jpg) ---

Get your M Sport Style 66’s correct Walker. Jeez! > [@tpgsr](#): > > Basically anything that you say to do within reasonable $ I would barely hesitate to think about. I am pretty sure that you know more about BMW’s than their own engineers. Won’t cost you anything other than removing it and rebleeding the clutch (ok so some fluid and time). > **[DIY: E46 Clutch Delay Valve (CDV) Removal](https://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1454493)** > > Bimmerforums is the preferred online BMW Forum and community for BMW owners.
