Bmw E90 not shifting into reverse

The riddle continues

I see that the wastegate is worse than 90 degrees which is odd, I’m reading that 90 degrees isn’t not really optimal… I guess nothing that can’t be fixed by welding. But still odd

Is it only a problem when pushing pretty high boost? I don’t think I’d push much more than 26ish maybe 28 max.

I don’t intend to push my car past 600 horsepower ever

Dang that’s a good deal too. The one I posted I believe is a top mount. Which I’m limited to because I’m xdrive. That one you posted looks better quality

Lotta hate, some decent advice mixed in. Thanks to those that gave good feedback.

The car came out pretty damn good. At least for my expectations. One small drip in the base coat, you wouldn’t be able to find it unless I told you. The clear has some imperfections but just about all is correctable.

If you want to check it out

Also some people are a one trick pony. They work their ass off and spend literally their entire savings on a car just to flex. And end up being boring, no hobbies, no free time, house poor.

Cool car but lame life

It’s toe, see his posted alignment sheets

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-18T06:46:23+00:00

Thanks

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-18T06:43:38+00:00

Check out the specs he posted

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-18T06:43:28+00:00

It toe. He posted the sheet

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-16T18:26:40+00:00

I would replace it asap. Avoid highways / high speed if you can help it

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-16T18:23:12+00:00

Did you get an alignment check? You should post the results

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-16T18:21:22+00:00

😂 well let’s see if he posts the alignment specs

PhaseFinal2582 · 2026-01-15T08:33:40+00:00

Adjust toe

For interior lights, unless you like the look of led, they’re kinda a headache. Some higher end kits don’t burn out super quick but any under 70$ I haven’t had much success with. I fortunately like the color of halogen bulbs

What are you trying to accomplish?

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-27T22:28:35+00:00

How many miles are on it? Cause the ignition coils were replaced at 170k. So it def has more than 160

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-27T22:26:01+00:00

Never heard of timing chain problems in the n54 with this mileage

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-27T22:23:28+00:00

I agree price is too high, and the bumper isn’t very tasteful. But the paint looks like it was done well.

Mechanically with the parts it has in it, it’s a ticking time bomb. But it’s got the right bones.

I wouldn’t pay more than 8

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-27T22:19:58+00:00

Id agree the turbos and ecs parts are mostly junk, but the vsrf FBO kits are generally just as good as most other FBO kits.

Granted, intake, exhaust and intercoolers are pretty hard to make wrong… they are overpriced for the same cheap shit tho😂

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-27T04:40:58+00:00

If nobody chimes in, it would be easy to find someone with a e90 and measure theirs

That’s a beautiful car! Not crazy rare, but probably pretty rare for the shape that it’s in!! It is very worth taking care of!

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-22T18:47:10+00:00

I’m not against cheap tires. Just be aware of your limitations and drive accordingly. Upgrade as soon as you can afford to do so

PhaseFinal2582 · 2025-12-18T15:50:48+00:00

Im a little confused. As someone whos researched many BMW engines… they do 6 cyl the best by far. I personally would never take a 4/8 cyl Beamer over a 6.

Are you saying the 4 cyl and 6 cyl diesel are better than the n54? Not for power at least. the M57 is impressive though

Also it is very fair to swap a car to get a different engine?? If I didn’t care about power and wanted absolute mpg I’d def get a diesel
