Hey, I’ve got a 525i wagon I’m doing this on, but the 21mm isn’t fitting on that top strut mount bolt, and any larger of a socket just won’t fit thru the opening. Any tips you might have would be dope

If what you have isn't working you may just have to get a different set of sockets. Or if you don't care about your sockets just take a grinder to them and grind away a little bit of the outside wall

No sir, just helping some friends with their bimmers. They have about 7 bmws and it keeps me busy. What about you? Still over landing the X5?

@@jcx2bby Nah, I actually perfecting it to put it on the market. Whoever gets it will be very lucky. I upgraded the turbos with 10% larger compressor, upgraded the diverter valves after the old ones cracked. Upgraded to cooler thermostat, cooler oil valve, 100 bar expansion tank cap. I've replaced every replaceable item like vanos solenoids, all map sensors, maf sensors, low and high pressure fuel pumps etc... The plan is to sell all 4 bmw I own and get a lot and build my custom man cave with a giant car garage.
