8. Use the rag to remove any dirt from around the drain plug area and from the oil filter well.
9. Install the drain plug with a new crush washer and torque to 23 ft.lb. (32 Nm).
10. Fill the new oil filter with fresh oil.
11. Apply a thin coat of oil to the new oil filter rubber gasket.
12. Install the new oil filter and give it ¾ - 1 turn after first contact.
13. Add 3.75 - 3.9 qts. of oil total (NOT 4 qts.!!!) using a funnel or oil spout.
14. Install the oil filler cap.
15. Run engine at idle for 2 - 3 min.

What is the cause of high idle speed?
High Idle speed can happen due to few reason. Normal Idle speed should be 800-850 RPM. First check the air hoses for any leaks. Clean the Idle control valve. Then check the throttle position sensor under the throttle body. Check the accelerator cable cable and stop position (do not try to change the original stop position). I hope these will help.
Answersometimes a vacuum leak can cause the idle to be a little higher then normal . .. other symptoms of this are a decrease in over all proformance . . .to check it, try clamping down on each vac line that you can see with vice grips, use a lighter setting on the plyers and use a piece of rubber so you don't damage the rubber vac hoses

Where is the tool kit on a BMW 330i?
my wife has a 2006 e90, and today i was looking for the toolkit (as sparse as it is, there should at least be a towhook) and i cant find it!
granted, her trunk is so full of junk it might be somewhere obvious, but i looked at the trunk lid (where my 5 series has one) and nothing there.
also looked at the compartment in the center of the trunk, and there is just a plastic tub for storage.
where should i be looking? i know she has run flats, so i dont expect anything other than the tow hook and maybe a screwdriver (we are in the USA), but i cant even find that.
thanks

Is the BMW 130 faster than the BMW 330?
I would imagine so as the 1 series should be lighter, but not by much ! The 130 has about 30 more hp and weighs a considerable amount less as well.
The best 1 series is the 123d Coupe. Our parts department manager at the dealership has 1 as a company car and says it's twice the car of his 330 Conv.

I have a 740, but your 540 should be the same. It is located in the trunk, right side behind the insulation.
You'll see a slit in the insulation, if you separate it, you'll see the block of fuses.
