changing your oil, brakes, and rotors...

[sweetbimmer2000]

Hello everyone...It's been awhile, but it's great to be back!

Oil:

How difficult would you rate changing your own oil? Also, oes anyone have directions on changing your oil for a 2000 323CI. If it's not that hard, then I'll purchase the reset tool so that I can do it all myself. I appreciate it!

Brakes & Rotors:

Can someone please advise on how to change brakes and rotors as well as the brake sensor for the front and rear? Would you recommend doing this yourself or let it to the experts? I heard it shouldn't be too hard to yourself so now I'm fishing for info.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help...I'm hoping to save some $$$ with the help of this forum...

Do you know if seperating the caliper gaps to put the new pads uses the same tool on BMW (pads sepearator) as other cars?

I've heard that MBW caliper uses different technology.
