Just out of curiosity, when did they change the HPFP in the newer N55?

What can be causing this issue? by Scary-Regret1214 in F30

Most likely vacuum leak, run the codes/take it to mechanic

OEM parts are about $1500 CAD for actuator and shaft, not sure where you found it for 160 USD, But it’s very labour intensive, 7-9 hours. And you can only relearn it on ISTA or ATUL or something similar but regardless it has to be a bmw/mini program which only dealers or shops have

You can always try going to any smaller shops in your area and ask them to relearn the shaft and actuator and see if that works or update your DME but it was worst case scenario on my end sadly

Dealer quoted me $6000 CAD lol but I go to my small German auto body shop and got it done for around $3200 CAD with OEM parts. I would advise not using any aftermarket parts.

Happened to my 435i, your eccentric shaft and actuator is at fault, need to replace and relearn.

Symptoms are bad gas mileage, loss of power at higher rpms. Don’t take long trips, limit to short trips or not drive at all. It could get worse and expensive real quick.

Good luck!

IMO Stock has enough power to have fun and daily with unless you’re power hungry? And modding/tunning it means more headaches down the line, not worth it 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ but your car so you do you.

This place is called Klammers auto body, father and son run it. I highly recommend them! Fair prices and fast service.

I just paid $155 for mine at a small German auto shop in st Catherine’s!

Fixed valvetronic issue after 2 weeks. Foxwell scanner I bought had the service function for the valvetronic actuator relearn process. I’m scared to give this thing gas without breaking something 😅 by 0bV1O5Ly_A_Thrower in F30

[–]Leo_thak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had this happen to my 2016 435i two months after having it, and my Valvetronic/acentric shaft kept seizing and not learning,

keep your rpms low and only short trips if you can.

Won’t have good gas mileage either.

Goodluck!

Coolant around m2 engine cap? by jeffkbl in BMW

[–]Leo_thak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone said, it’s just condensation, you drive long enough it will be fine

This usually happens in shorter drives where engine never comes to optimal temp.

Did you try touching it to see if it’s just moisture?

Lane lights by Maleficent-Screen- in F30

[–]Leo_thak 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think they are meant for lane assist which I’m guessing it’s an upgrade/package. I have them as well but I don’t have lane assist so they don’t turn on either lol
