Classic BMW DIY Preventative Maintenance, Repairs and Long-Term Ownership — I’m Cas, a DIY BMW enthusiast keeping my 20-plus-year-old modern classic BMWs in top shape. This channel is all about BMW DIY maintenance, repairs, and preventative care, oh and a little Mercedes DIY and a few others here and there. Join me as I keep these modern classic BMWs alive, and help other owners do the same.

Hello everyone! Sorry for the long pause on new videos. Between family visiting from out of state, nursing a bad ankle and a full time job, it's been a bit hectic around here. Videos should resume by next weekend. I have a bunch of maintenance to get to and a new feature on tools and equipment I use to hopefully help more folks out there doing their own maintenance (not sponsored). Thank you.

2005 BMW E46 330Ci convertible rear shocks replacement DIY. Uploading today, super easy DIY. Replacing the 21 year old rear original shocks/dampers with new Bilstein made a huge difference in how the E46 handles, it feels like a BMW now :)
The front shocks had been replaced also with Bilstein and feels good, no leaks.

Slight change of plans, my father in law's FORD Escape 1.5l gets some needed maintenance. Oil change, coolant change, brake fluid change, new cabin and engine air filter and new spark plugs. Hopefully he can get 72k more miles out of it before the oil pump wet-belt gives out! :(
Uploading later today.
