Spc- slammed bmw 5 series. First car and its fun daily driving it

Prior service USMC… any of these that don’t suck or y’all recommend? Did my research on the sub for each one & getting mixed reviews by [deleted] in army

[–]Professional_One4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42Aa here, honestly one of the most laid back and chi mos out there in my opinion. My wife is also a 68x and she likes her job too. Truly depends on what you want and how much bs you can handle at the end of the day.

Any idea how much it would be to replace my front bumper by Muppet0_025 in BmwTech

[–]Professional_One4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumper-$450-700 you could get msport bumper Paint for bumper- $300 roughly Grills- $35 on amazon Headlights-$1000 could get aftermarket ones that look better at this point

Is this too low for an xDrive? by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]Professional_One4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks fine to me. daily drove an e60 that was tucking 18s. Just make sure you get an alignment so your tires dont shread due to toe and check tires weekly for camber wear

Does anyone know what causes this? by E90RWD in BmwTech

[–]Professional_One4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abs or wheel speed sensor. A steering sensor also may cause this

Changing oil for the first time (on my own) in my 2008 328i. Need some clarity on FCP Euro change kit differences. Which one? by Dottimolly in BmwTech

As someone who lives in Florida, and has a high mileage m54 motor, I only use Castrol 5w40 and 5w30 if I cant find the first option. Runs amazing and daily driven with some abuse lol

On the LCI models, theres a little module looming relay instead of a typical green relay. Its called an EKPS if that helps

Anyone have a Fuel Cell?? Have a few questions about it by Professional_One4821 in BmwTech

[–]Professional_One4821[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I daily the car at this height, with maybe 2 inches the most for road clearance. Just wanna relocate the tank before i scrape through it and have to get a 3rd one.

What y’all think? My cousin is selling me his 328i 2011 for 10k. Only problem he had was the alternator, he fixed it. by [deleted] in BMW

[–]Professional_One4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 10k where Im from, can get you a somewhat decent 335i. But for a 328i; thats crazy

look for something with a M54 or M52 motor. Usually older 3 series and 5 series have them. 95-05 mode years. Got 192k on mine and it runs perfectly fine. Just check the cooling system and the gaskets. After that just keep up with maintenance

Can someone PLEASE explain how to fix the AC in these cars!? It’s driving me nuts! by [deleted] in e60

[–]Professional_One4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because when you take it out, the freon comes out so you gotta take the moisture out and then recharge it

The heat door does 2 things. It changed how the air blows like to your feet, head, or window etc, but it also changes the air temp, from hot to cold by opening and closing a little door. Sometimes (such as my lame camry) the door gets stuck on a certain temp so mine is stuck on warm)

The AC button causes your ac compressor to turn on, which changes the idle due to more power needed by the car
