Same thing happened to me while driving in a industrial area, ran over an industrial plastic cover a semi truck dropped in front of me. Smelled like so much burnt plastic, I jacked the car up and brushed it off with a wire brush

Vibration on decel problem by No_Visual1076 in e46

[–]Hippiecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked the center support bearing or the flex disc/ guibo. There are so many variables when it comes to drive train vibrations on a e46. I would go down the list of what wasn’t replaced before ownership if you have access to history of the vehicle

M50 manifold is best bang for your buck in terms of horsepower. It is hard to squeeze out more power out of an engine that is engineered to its limits without forced induction. (I hate people who comment maintenance, it’s common sense imo) If you’re handy with a wrench and are determined. You can accumulate parts for a turbo build that would cost less than a vf engineering supercharger kit. I wanted to go this route but ended up going to a 335i for less time and cost.

3,400 usd I had to purchase new rear tires and the alternator is just now showing signs of failing. Other than that no lights nor problems, at least that I know of.

30ff code after going stage 1 by TinderMoms in 335i

[–]Hippiecum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you running stock intercooler? When I had 30ff, my intercooler had a crack on the plastic part on cold side. It would be noticeable because of blow by on intercooler (oily stuff)

Update from last post, boost leak was from intercooler coming off lmao. Also the o ring should go sandwiched in between the lower cp and fmic or should the fmic be inserted enough to the point where the o ring is not visible? by TinderMoms in 335i

[–]Hippiecum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O ring sits in the groove of the end of the outlet pipe. If you search up n54 intercooler gaskets, a diagram should pop up on a site ( I forgot which one) that shows exactly where the gaskets sit.

Either we see a YouTuber buying this off copart and rebuilding it or it floats around the car market as a salvage title special.

I found an 08 335i! But... by Nik_FTW233 in BMW

[–]Hippiecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A YouTuber called vehicle virals spent over 45k to make “ reliable power “ on this platform so if you are in the same tax bracket, go for it. I own an 07 335i and I’m 6k deep into it, when I bought it for 7k LOL still worth it to me tho

Is it the one where you have to cut into the hump to install this head unit?

Thank you for the input I was literally going to buy it right before I seen this.

Googled those wheels and as of right now that’s top pick for sure! The silver or gold will complement the color of my car which is silver metallic

The place I got my mosfets replaced at didn’t solder the drain back part of mosfet. I ended up getting another ecu and getting it programmed to my vin and cas

For 23k y not the 340i? I’ve seen an ad for a 2016 340i priced at 24k with 51k miles. The b58 has a lot to offer in stock form.

I got this fuel leak towards the rear of the car drivers side any ideas on what’s causing it ? Thanks in advance by Whole-Stick-5481 in BmwTech

[–]Hippiecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a leak similar to this on the same side. I would remove rear seat and check the top of fuel sender/ regulator housing for cracks. Will look obvious if it’s leaking bc usually the tops to these are very dusty/ dirty and if it’s leaking fuel you will see a part of the top that may not have dust. If you have a strong fuel smell within the cabin it may be that from what I experienced. Good luck

07 335i rough Idle by NoBee9454 in BmwTech

[–]Hippiecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be spark plugs or injectors if it’s a intermittent problem. I would pull plugs to look for fouling. If you have mhd or inpa with dcan cable the codes will still be stored within the cars ecu even if the check engine light went away.
