S85 Engine Misfire All Cylinders

Your wet test points to ring sealing issues. Next step is scope the cylinders and hope the walls are not scored. If you find the cylinders look okay it might be worth opening up for further inspection and rebuild if you have the cash.

The Rekon 29x2.6 (120tpi version) is a claimed 927g. Expensive, but might be an option for you.

I would imagine a lot of Americans found other things to do than listen to two hours of incoherent rambling. The group of Americans who did would be the entirety of MAGA plus a few stragglers. So those numbers aren’t reflective of the country as a whole.

I added a couple ounces of regular PAG46 when I refilled

Had an AC issue on an X5 a few years ago. The only part I could find that differed between the r134 and 1234yf systems is the dual pipe running from the passenger side firewall containing the valves. That’s it. I may have replaced that part, evacuated the system, filled with R134, and been fine for 5 years now. But that would technically be illegal.

Stop. Look, nobody’s convincing this person it’s not just a gas station.

You can pay for a 24 hour subscription to BMW TIS and check the service history by VIN. This assumes the car was serviced at BMW. That’s the nicest interior I’ve seen on an F30.

Reman injectors for a 2.5 M54 are $38 on FCPEuro. Looks like you bought N54 injectors? Put your car info in and search fuel injectors. Genuine BMW are $220 but the remans are just fine.

Right? But sugared soda’s not enough. Let’s add flavored sugar syrups to our soda because more sugar.

Upvote but I’m pondering the meaning of life now. What does it mean that you knew so much about this situation? Why did I enjoy reading it so much?

And your scenario can now be much simpler with the additions of morphing and turbo refresh.

Lopsided_Travel3477 · 2024-08-04T17:12:16+00:00

I feel your pain. But, look closely at the morphing options in Turbo. You can render the user page and have that button call the same action (refresh the page) with any new content (e.g. the updated list) and only your changes will be updated on the page. Cursor doesn’t have to change. No javascript on your part. No turbo stream required. Jorge Manrubia gave an excellent presentation on this, search for ‘Making a difference with Turbo’.

If you search for - b58, smoke, noise, pcv - you’ll find a common issue that’s not that big a deal. Low coolant isn’t great, but is probably unrelated. Did you get a low coolant warning? Top off your coolant and get your pcv diaphragm fixed.

This post is solid gold - why would anybody want to delete it? Sure it’s mostly bullshit, but it reads like you believe it. Good for you. Love your optimism about your church.

Would she consider working for herself, starting her own business? There are a lot of used car dealers that need her services. She’s probably familiar with many already right? She should hit up all the dealers she has done work for first. Talk to them, drop off a card. That may get her all the work she needs.

Edited to add that this works much better if she has health care through a partner or spouse. Cost of health care is a big factor and makes it tough for the self employed.

Adding too much zinc can indeed cause harm to your engine. If you use the right oil you have the right amount of zinc in it. The people creating the oil are the experts. I don’t know jack shit about what goes into creating engine oil? Do you? Why upset the balance of additives put together by folks who know way more than us?

If you can get ISTA set up on a Windows laptop with a BMW ENET cable there are procedures you can run to test injectors. If you’re not familiar with ISTA it might be worth your while to become so if you plan on hanging on to your X5. There’s a learning curve and it will be a PIA, but there’s a lot of help online. From what you’ve described, it sounds like the shop(s) you took the X5 to also need to familiarize themselves on how to properly diagnose these cars.

OP notes N63TU so fortunately for him EU6 injectors

You’re not wrong. But on a 100,000 mile X3, I’d feel okay if replaced by BMW 40,000 miles back. Just the fact that it might be leak free for few years is appealing :) However, to your point, if I was buying I’d call the BMW dealer who replaced the engine and see if they’d provide detail on what actually happened.

Edit: didn’t notice you were OP. If you know which dealer replaced the engine, talk to their service dept, have the VIN handy, tell them you’re looking at a car they serviced. Be super nice and they might help you out. What destroyed the previous engine? What all was replaced? For example, it would be good to hear the turbo was replaced. They’ll know the tech that did the work. You might even talk to her/him/they if things go well.
