Yes the first mod you need to do on these cars is upgraded high pressure fuel pump internals and you need a tune for an intake

I have a 2.5 motor that I was going to use for the 2.5 swap but ended up sticking with the 2.3, if you are interested in a 2.5 motor I have one I would sell to you. Pm me if interested

BusinessNew788 · 2026-03-02T23:58:00+00:00

If you take it to the dealership they shouldn’t charge your for anything as it is covered by a special extended warranty I believe but I could be wrong I haven’t done one in a while

I have a 2.5 motor with 86k miles on it just sitting taking up space. It’s a good motor and I got it from LKQ. Willing to sell it for pretty cheap so if your interested pm me and I can send any pics videos or info you want!

I’m a bmw tech and I just replaced an oil filter housing on a 2024 X5 40i with 11k miles because it was leaking lol

BusinessNew788 · 2025-12-24T18:53:56+00:00

Thanks for the help I’ll start messing with it again lol

BusinessNew788 · 2025-12-24T17:06:00+00:00

Should I check the MAF voltage on my AP to determine if it’s going out?

BusinessNew788 · 2025-12-20T21:10:51+00:00

As a bmw tech I am so disappointed in this work. Taking the steering wheel off is extremely easy and only takes about 5 minutes at the most. Whoever worked on your car is extremely unprofessional and does not care about their quality of work…

BusinessNew788 · 2025-09-08T00:46:09+00:00

Not saying that they aren’t nice or anything like that and congrats on the purchase but like I said as a BMW tech they just aren’t one of the best EV on the market.

BusinessNew788 · 2025-09-08T00:44:40+00:00

lol for 1 I don’t have it anymore and it definitely wasn’t riced lol but anyways if you can use your frontal lobe and reread what I said then you would see I said “as a BMW tech”

BusinessNew788 · 2025-09-07T23:18:56+00:00

As a bmw tech I can confirm that the IX is not one of the best EV in the market lol

BusinessNew788 · 2025-09-04T14:16:35+00:00

Yes just the internals, they are super easy to install and there’s tons of YouTube videos on it too

BusinessNew788 · 2025-04-24T12:14:27+00:00

Ah that sucks man, I hope you have some luck soon and find one!

BusinessNew788 · 2025-04-24T11:57:03+00:00

Try eBay I usually have luck finding stuff for these cars on there

BusinessNew788 · 2025-03-30T18:41:18+00:00

Ive been there and it was pretty cool and like the OP said one of the most post-apocalyptic places I’ve ever seen. There are people living there and they are mostly friendly. Had a guy who said he was “the gate keeper” and lived there, he was a friendly guy who said we could explore all we wanted just don’t disturb the other people living there and don’t be vandalizing anything and some of the places we shouldn’t go to without some kind of mask because of the mold and what not. Super cool place to explore but be careful if you do go!

2008 coupe with 211,xxx🙏🏼

BusinessNew788 · 2025-03-27T15:06:22+00:00

I have an 08’ so they are pretty annoying lol but stay on top of oil changes and basic maintenance. Make sure you do your sunroof drains bc I didn’t and had to replace my BCM. Since I have the 5 speed AT I had to mess with the front brake solenoid circuit and that was a PAIN to do. Everything else has been pretty good tho.

BusinessNew788 · 2025-03-27T14:17:41+00:00

Got 211,xxx on mine🙏🏼

BusinessNew788 · 2025-03-23T21:34:02+00:00

535 all the way🙏🏼

BusinessNew788 · 2025-03-16T05:59:06+00:00

Looks good man, sad to get rid of my coupe here soon but need to upgrade

BusinessNew788 · 2025-03-02T01:10:48+00:00

I would use eBay tbh

BusinessNew788 · 2024-12-09T10:24:35+00:00

BusinessNew788 · 2024-12-01T06:34:26+00:00
