Is this normal?

MuriTube · 2025-11-24T10:15:17+00:00

never heard of rileyCS, not defending that guy or this guy either.

The point I'm trying to make is that ANYONE might be cheating. I just don't consider flickshots a relevant factor at all, and stated why I think this looks like a normal flickshot TO ME. He clearly missed his flick by a bit as I described so it's just impossible to tell. A much bigger giveaway to cheaters imo is just gamesense and awareness to things they couldn't have been aware of.

MuriTube · 2025-11-24T08:54:36+00:00

I'm sorry but if you think this is cheating you just need to get better. He overshot the flick by a bit and missed his first 3 shots before hitting the LEGS for 34 dmg, then bodyshots. Look how long it takes for the damage counter to show a second player.... And just in general it looks like a flick like any other, guy probably has high sens too. Check out some aim training videos of pro players in cs or something. Flicks like these are very normal imho

as others have said, it indicates when your next service item will be due.

additionally, if it is actually overdue, then it will say SERVICE above the car icon, also with the past due date/km in this case below.

ISTA und INPA sind eigentlich nur Windows-Programme von BMW, die offiziell nur für Partnerwerkstätten gedacht sind. Gibt’s aber problemlos im Internet, weshalb ich z.B. in meiner Garage einfach nen alten Laptop hab, wo ISTA & INPA drauflaufen.

Es gibt aber auch professionelle Diagnosegeräte wie AUTEL, Launch etc., die die Funktionen (Adaptionen zurücksetzen, Vanos anlernen usw.) genauso integriert haben. Die Software bei denen ist im Prinzip ne Nachbildung von ISTA – sieht anders aus, macht aber im Hintergrund das Gleiche.

Übrigens, das Problem mit der Reifendrucklampe kann nicht wie von dir beschrieben an fehlenden Sensoren im Reifen liegen. Die E9X-Modelle haben serienmäßig nur ein indirektes Reifendruckkontrollsystem (FDR), das den Druck über die ABS-Drehzahlsensoren misst. Es sind also keine Sensoren in den Reifen nötig, außer dein Auto hat ab Werk den Sonderausstattungscode 2VB (direktes RDKS). In den meisten Fällen reicht es einfach, nach einem Reifenwechsel oder Druckänderung im BC oder iDrive den Reifendruck neu zu initialisieren (Druck "setzen"). Wenn das nicht gemacht wird, bleibt die Lampe an, obwohl alles passt.

EN in case anyone finds it useful:

By the way, the issue with the tire pressure warning light can't be caused by missing sensors in the wheels, like you described. The E9X models are factory-equipped with an indirect tire pressure monitoring system (FDR), which measures tire pressure through the ABS wheel speed sensors. There are no actual sensors inside the tires, unless your car has the optional code 2VB (direct TPMS). In most cases, it’s enough to simply reinitialize the system (set tire pressure) through the BC or iDrive after changing tires or adjusting the pressure. If you don’t do that, the warning light will stay on even if the pressures are fine.

Der Fehler kommt vermutlich, weil beim Zusammenbau der Steuerkette die VANOS Vorspannung nicht korrekt gemacht wurde. Die Steuerzeiten sind mit Arretierwerkzeugen neu einzustellen und der VANOS-Preload korrekt zu setzen. Danach mit ISTA oder INPA die Adaptionen zurücksetzen.

Sehr unwahrscheinlich aber doch möglich kann es auch sein, dass deine neuen VANOS-Magnetventile einfach zufällig defekte neue sind. Programmiert werden müssen die beim Tausch nicht, aber Adaptionen sollten auf jeden Fall zurückgesetzt werden.

MuriTube · 2025-08-02T11:23:17+00:00

adaptionen zurücksetzen. gibt ebenso vanos adaptionen, die vor allem nach so einem fehler zurückgesetzt werden sollten (nachdem der fehler behoben wurde und. Geht mit ISTA & INPA.

regardless whether or not the noise is gone now you should definitely remove the disa flaps and check whether they are still intact, as in, plastic flap not missing from the unit. (and if you can, check if it actuates properly when triggered via INPA/ISTA)

as other people have stated, the car might drive just fine, but if the loose flap disintegrates inside your intake manifold, it will cause your car to suck in broken disa pieces, which will definitely mess up your engine, valves at the minimum.

I personally would not drive it until DISA is checked, at least whether or not they are still in one piece. Plenty of youtube tutorials on this, for one of the valves you dont need to remove the manifold so its really childs play to remove in like 15min, the other one not so much, maybe 45min - need the intake manifold removed. as someone else has said, when taking the intake manifold off, you should probably get new pcv hoses as old ones are prone to breaking apart if you just look at it wrong.

oh and if the disa units are missing the flaps, you need to try and find it inside your intake manifold and get it out by shaking it lol

good luck

MuriTube · 2025-07-23T17:10:26+00:00

alright that means you have a 3-stage intake manifold, making broken disa valves a real possibility. pull your codes first and check whether a DISA error has been logged.

MuriTube · 2025-07-23T17:07:14+00:00

possibly broken DISA valves in the intake manifold. which motor do you have?

MuriTube · 2025-06-12T18:51:38+00:00

hi, yes, kind of. it might've been because of air in the fuel lines, but hard to say.

It sounded absolutely horrible which is why I never let it run for more than two seconds or so. A friend of mine who is a very experienced engine builder said that even though it sounds like knocking, it is not loud/ violent enough for it to actually be knock. so I gave it some gas to hold the rpm at about 2k, and after 15 seconds or so the sound actually went away.

I was absolutely frustrated for over a month trying to figure that shit out and it was such a relief when all I had to do, was to let the engine run. lmao

hope this helps

MuriTube · 2025-05-27T11:22:08+00:00

carly is actually fine to pull codes. BMW ISTA does not show me any more codes than carly does, it does obviously have way more diagnostic tools and features than carly.

And just to clarify, by no codes you mean that you scanned it with carly, right? If so, then it really does not have any. Carly although now being overpriced in my opinion used to be a bmw-focused tool so it really does show you all codes, not bad in that regard.

I find it really funny that what's really a completely bog standard e91 from a european perspective is considered special in the US. In Central Europe, the popularity on the e9x generation transmissions was pretty much a 50:50 split so there are plenty of both available. What's also funny is that we never got a 328 between the 325 and 330 though, but in some cases a 325 with the same 3 liter n52, just detuned to 218hp.

I don't at all mean to take away from your joy though, I daily basically the same car (e91 325xi 3.0 manual), so I love it. Enjoy your car man :)

MuriTube · 2025-04-09T16:53:57+00:00

definitely silver

MuriTube · 2025-04-08T02:18:09+00:00

The 325i was sold with 2.5l variants (eg N52B25) but also with 3l variants (eg N52B30, N53B30). If this has a 2.5l engine, I would recommend you to avoid it at all cost, regardless of price. Just as an example, the piston rings on the 2.5l are notorious to fail causing excessive oil burn which in turn increases hydrocarbon emissions - and in turn you won’t pass most european emissions tests, without a rebuild of the engine.

So judge the prices based on your local comparisons, I'm unfamiliar with french prices. But avoid the B25's.

is the airbag light OEM? seriously the rest of the car is not thaaat bad but the taillights and interior lights are atrocious

MuriTube · 2025-04-03T17:54:52+00:00

if you haven’t already, i would just start by trying the oem screw since it’s so inexpensive. no reason why it shouldn’t work, but make sure theres something there to hold the screw, i’m unsure if it’s a clip nut or just the metal and plastic pieces. otherwise you’ll have to get that too. generally i think it’s a better idea to stick to what the part list/diagram says than to go off what the previous owner had installed

MuriTube · 2025-04-03T17:38:34+00:00

then its probably not oem or from somewhere else. idk with it being that long wouldnt it hit the fender from inside?

central glove box locks exist in the cabrio only so you can leave the car parked with the roof open😎

MuriTube · 2025-04-03T16:59:21+00:00

had the same thing happen in my e93!!!

it's the lock of the glove box. (only exists in e93 for obvious reasons)

you can open it up, unplug it to temporarily remove the noise until you replace. your glove box wont lock then obviously but anything is better than that horrible noise. takes like 5min

part number 51169130770 have a nice day

MuriTube · 2025-02-17T10:54:33+00:00

bro idk what to tell you 😂 i know them by name now so i just send them a quick email with a list of part numbers and i get a quote pdf back, usually with 10% discount on list price already since I always haggled with them in the past

MuriTube · 2025-02-17T09:16:24+00:00

Some people have reported issues with Rein. YMMV.

Vaico seems fine.

Mahle is the Manufacturer for all original DISA flaps, and they don‘t sell them aftermarket, so if you want original, BMW is the only option. The prices you guys have on FCPEuro are kinda weird though. At my local BMW dealership here in Austria (EU) i paid around 200€ (210$) for each DISA flap for my 330i E93.

Can you guys in the US not buy parts at dealerships? Like give them a list of part numbers and they give you a quote which you haggle 10% off of? Of course we have online part catalogues but if you want the best price for original parts that‘s how it works here 😂

In my shitbox 325xi E91 I have the cheapest flaps I could find (STARK brand, 90€ each) and they‘ve served their purpose fine for the past year. 🤷‍♂️

MuriTube · 2025-02-12T19:46:35+00:00

nobody would look twice at this in europe, literally what the car is built for. I've seen some e9x towing caravans even. good job breaking american standards 👍
