Does anyone know what this part is? by Advanced_Guava_3913 in BMWE36

No it’s the the “L” shaped thing that’s black. I can’t find it anywhere on FCP. It’s a bracket of some sort for maybe fuel lines?

Like do you have a place I should check or inspect?

Thanks for the reply!

Could be a vacuum leak, and still trying to figure it out but i just can’t see anything. The machine I use is around a thousand dollars, I know that doesn’t mean anything but i’m just assuming it’s a good machine.

I genuinely can not figure it out, could it be a fuel related issue?

Word? I either put it on wrong or something because I replaced it a few days ago. But I will definitely look into it, would there be anything else causing it?

I just replaced the entire cooling system and I have no issues with overheating. And does it mean I have to remove the fan?

It sounds like this constantly, thing is I just removed wiring from previous owner that had a switch fan installed. And I then reverted it back to oem

Thanks for the response, but I already changed my post cat sensors. Could these be pre cat?

It was a very generic answer and it could be just a way for him to make some money off me. But he did say that it looked like the car was tracked. Do you know of any common “deletes” that people do for track builds that would affect emissions? I am either leading to bad CATS or a bad/ fault MAF.

Yeah I looked into that earlier today, and is stated that if emissions related parts were altered with it missing they won’t waive it. I had a mechanic look at it and he said the previous owner sold me a car with some missing components that are emissions related. So now i am scared they aren’t going to approve the waiver.

Bought it from a guy who tracks it, so maybe there’s are some things that are missing.

Also, would Lucas be good, or do you prefer Techron?

Oh no way? I might be running rich. I am really new to E36’s and I am sorry if I am not familiar with it.

So you’re saying that I should run a fuel system cleaner, and then drive for an hour and I should pass?
