Here is how headliner is removed
Mine is saloon... but pretty much all covered in this video
It was all begun with this
I just recently realized my headliner is sagging... :(
But i was not surprised as it is common to E46...
Oil Filter Housing Gasket
Noticed fresh engine oil just below intake manifold near the oil filter
After do some readings, I have found out this is because of worn gasket
So, I have started to read on how to do the replacement and it was fairly easy

Remove airbox
Remove power steering reservoir tank and alternator to get into the oil filter housing
Remove the worn gasket
Comparison, new and old gasket... and the price

Valve Cover Gasket Replacement
Got smell of burnt engine oil when car is idling
We can also see oil leakage near exhaust manifold area
This is normal because M54 engine is design tilted
Finished!... and it was raining and I forgot to close engine hood

Original part is using plastics
O ring also supplied in the package
Blackened Wheels
So I have decided to go for matte black
I am using rubber paint as it is peel-able and easy to do touch-up
I don't even have to remove the wheels and tyre (see picture)
I bought all the spray can from Mr DIY outlet
It's the cheapest I can get as other brand sold at about RM50++, this one is RM19.90!
All the process done at about 2 hours.. great feeling! hehe
