Car Performance Specs

1. Loosen the lug nuts on both front wheels by turning them 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
2. Raise the BMW up using the floor jack. Jack under the front jack point.
3. Place jack stands underneath the pinch welds of the BMW and lower the vehicle onto the jack stands.
4. Finish loosening the lug nuts and take the wheel off.
5. Unbolt the top and bottom brake caliper mounting bolts on the BMW and secure the caliper to the coil spring above the brake assembly with the zip ties.
6. Remove the brake pads by taping them out with a rubber mallet.
7. Place the face of the brake pad over the caliper piston and then place the c-clamp over the back of the brake pad and caliper assembly. Gently force the caliper piston back into the caliper by tightening the c-clamp.
8. Insert the new pads and reassemble the brake system. Installation is the reverse of removal.
9. Repeat steps 4 - 8 with the other front wheel.
10. Put the wheels back on, tighten the lug nuts and lower the vehicle. Torque the lug nuts to 100 foot-lbs once the wheel is back on the ground.
11. Raise the rear of the BMW using the rear jack point and place the jack stands under the pinch welds in the rear of the vehicle.
12. Lower the vehicle onto the jack stands and then repeat steps 4 - 8 for the rear wheels.
13. Put the wheels back on, tighten the lug nuts, and lower the rear of the vehicle. Then, tighten the lug nuts to 100 foot-lbs.

1. Turn the C230s headlight switch to 0. Turn off the engine and open the hood. Inspect the area behind the front lighting case. Find the black front marker lamp access cover. It is the outboard cover, closest to the fender on either side.
2. Grasp the access cover handle and turn it counterclockwise to unscrew the cover. Attached to the other side of the cover, youll find the front marker lamp. The cover doubles as the socket.
3. Pull the lamp straight out of its socket. Put on clean gloves and open the replacement lamp package. Insert it straight into the socket.
4. Attach the access cover/socket back against the rear side of the lighting case. Turn the cover clockwise to reattach it to the case. Close the cars hood.

1. Break the lug nuts loose on the Audi by turning them 1/4 turn on all of the wheels.
2. Raise the Audi onto jack stands. To do this, engage the emergency brake and jack up the front of the vehicle with the floor jack and make sure that you are jacking up on the front jack point located near the radiator (it is an extension of the frame of the Audi). Place the jack stands underneath the front pinch welds on the side of the Audi, and lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. Repeat this process for the rear of the vehicle, using the rear jack point located near the trunk as well as the rear pinch welds.
3. Continue removing the lug nuts and remove the wheel.
4. Unbolt the caliper mounting bolts and pull the caliper off the brake rotor.
5. Secure the brake rotor to the coil springs above the brake assembly with zip ties.
6. Remove the brake pads. You may need to tap them out of place with a rubber mallet.
7. Place the face of one of the brake pads over the caliper piston. Then, place the c-clamp over the caliper assembly and force the brake pad against the caliper piston. This will in turn push the caliper piston back into the caliper, making room for the new (thicker) brake pads.
8. Insert the new brake pads into the caliper and reassemble the caliper and brake assembly. Installation of pads is the reverse of removal.
9. Mount the wheels back over the hub assembly and tighten the lug nuts. Then, lower the Audi and torque the lug nuts to 100 foot-lbs using the torque wrench.

1. Open the hood and take a look inside the engine. The air filter on the 330I is found in the front left side of the engine compartment. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally in the 3 series, and will be in a black housing.
2. Pull on the top of the cover and the filter will come out of the housing.
3. Remove leaves, twigs or other debris in the housing.
4. Unwrap your new filter and slide it back in. Snap the top cover back on.
