How in the world are you suppose to get the bolts out on the side of the oil tank? Dang things strip out in the oil bottle. Then when you finally get the 2 bolts out you find the hidden 3rd one that really is impossible. Who in the world would put one clear in the front where you can't get at it. The had to put that one in before the sides are on.
If you have ever removed the oil tank on an M I am sure you are laughing. If you haven't tried it take about 4 hours and give it a whirl, its only a 10 minute job. Just make sure that your dealer has a new bottle in stock because it wont come out without some mild coaxing. IE yelling and screaming until you get so mad you brake the bottle one way or another. All the nice sharp edges on the bulkhead that slice your hands all up really put the finishing touchs on the project.
I have learned enough now though that I should be able to get it done next time in just under 3 hours I hope. My kids might even be able to come into the garage next time without asking mommy what those words mean dad was saying.
