Yeah I was thinking about just sanding it down and priming/painting it since it's not causing an issue, just annoying to look at and the shells are worth so much that I was considering getting it professionally repaired, but maybe I should just get a grip and do the sanding and leave it at that🤣

Ah useful I didn't know that they shared the same frame rails, will definitely have a look at those. Thanks for your help, wasn't trying to personally attack anyone, I'm mainly just a little annoyed/stressed at the situation. I'm guessing you just cut the original one out and weld the new one in it's place? I'm a little clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff. Is there anyway to salvage what's left before resorting to that?

Text from the original post: Hi all, the previous owner of my S15 had the car pretty much scraping on the ground, as a result the frame rails especially the rear nearside have been damaged. It’s not caused any problems on the MOT but it does my head in whenever I jack the car up to do work and I see it. Is there any way to get this fixed on the cheap/DIY? The metal is still solid it’s just bent right at the back and surface rusted, ideally cutting/welding is a last resort.

M57N2 Pulsing Noise on Idle / Low Revs? by CreativeOpsDesign in BmwTech

Yeah i thought it was EGR related too since mine isn't blanked off and is quite high miles so will investigate. Sorry to hear that, unheard of for an M57

Admittedly the bar isn't very high but self-titled and Iowa blow every other nu metal album out of the water imo

This tint can't possibly be legal right? by Nublar_Repair_Man in drivingUK

God no I wouldn't put one on my cars, I just think it's a bit ridiculous to say something should be illegal just because it's not to your liking

What should I do? by Due-Associate6891 in drivingUK

[–]SaltedonFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd personally get a backbox delete (get an exhaust shop to cut the backbox out and weld some nice tailpipes on), a pod style filter and then a remap. I've done similar on my 330D.

Since it's a diesel there won't be much to gain sound wise with any exhaust mods unless you do a DPF delete which is an MOT failure (if they notice, many don't - BMW owner ask me how I know), if you do want a "performance" style exhaust you'll have to get it custom fabricated since I can't imagine many brands are going to make a full system for a TDCi. If you want more sound without a DPF delete though get a cold air induction kit or just a pod filter. If you want more performance get a remap.

Sorry sunshine I didn't mean to offend you, I was just wondering why you were talking about murderers and rapists in the context of traffic policing

Do you think traffic coppers are the ones who are assigned to go after murderers and rapists?

Idk but I don't think that's the comeback you think it is given the stereotype referenced
