More things to look for when judging cars

Did the same for

Edited the article to place images inline

we used screenshots of a spreadsheet to create this article Does anyone have the actual spreadsheet? If you do, can you please send it my way? Thank you, Steve K.

I have to be the editor for my own site So that is not an issue. If you guys keep giving me this great content, i will keep publishing it. can you PM me some indication where you want the images to be, and i'll get them to the right place

You became the victim of your own success. You have editorial privileges, so your articles do not need my approvals. Setting publish date i the future will give you time to finish things. I can go through the article and do some formatting changes including placing the images within it instead of the bottom. steve k.

It is imperative to use proper torque on all of the bolts on your car. For your convenience all the specs have been compiled technical manual and sorted as it would be in the BMW 2002 Service Repair Manual. Data is provided in Newton meters (Nm), meter kilopond (mkp), and pound foot (lb.ft). 1 Nm = 0.102 mkp = 0.738 lb.ft Please, use a high quality torque wrench to achieve good results.
