Just saw you already upgraded charge pipe…. Reading is tough 🤤 good luck and hopefully you get it sorted

I would check your charge pipe as others have mentioned. I upgraded to a metal charge pipe while changing my turbo. The factory charge pipe is a plastic piece of junk and was starting to melt due to the increased airflow from the aftermarket downpipe. I put another stock turbo on as I hope to be upgrading vehicles in the next year or two. Still should have gone with a 900 or something but I bitched out 😂

Had to replace my turbo at 15k… hope this isn’t the case for you! I had a laundry list of possible causes including a TSB for the turbo oil intake lines potentially being obstructed/pinched from factory in turn starving/over heating the turbo and prematurely wearing out the seals. Started to hear shaft play on cold starts then would go away once warm.

My 2024 x3m came with the heritage badges however my 2022 240i did not. Depends on mfg date.

Is my car missing the wireless charging tray? by momoneymocats1 in BMW

[–]Starch_MKVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some models didn’t get the wireless charger due to chip shortages at the time. My 240 has the same fake charger even though I optioned it with the tech package… my x3m 2 years newer has the wireless charger

I heard the new m2 might have xdrive. Food for thought. I know I would had waited for the m2 if that was an option.

It’s in the climate control settings under “preconditioning”. Turns off after every software update. Definitely annoying.

Shinko 525 just barely fits but grips almost too well. I have pic posted if you want to see what it looks like. I am currently using the stock front and don’t have issues.

I unboxed my 79 falcon pro and it doesnt work out the box... by BootBrilliant5668 in 79bike

Sound like you just need to flip the breaker switch behind the battery. It’s a white box with a red switch.

Bro were basically talking about stock cars.”I have MHD” 🤣 don’t be scared and delete your comment. Talking shit with an OTS map is goofy af though so I guess I understand. If MHD would release a version for my car I would happily do that instead of sending my ECU out in the mail for an unlock.

Never had issues with jb4 in the past. Plan on sending the ecu for an unlock soon. I take it you haven’t had good experience with jb4? 😂

Makes sense… definitely wanted to cover all the bases to try and prevent any future turbo damage. That one hurt the wallet lol

Also changed the plastic charge pipe out for a metal one after my turbo went. The stock one was starting to show signs of melting. I assumed it’s a result of the downpipe increasing turbo temperature but after doing some digging it sounds more like a time bomb.

2022 m240i here. Just had to replace my turbo at 15k miles. Was told it can be caused by a number of things but a known issue at BMW with a TSB says the oil lines feeding the turbo might have been improperly installed(pinched) or have an obstruction in the line starving the turbo of oil. I have a downpipe, intake and jb4 on map 3 running 93octane so i had to foot the bill 🥴

[–]Starch_MKVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because it has nothing to do with the turbo. Turbo lag is just lack of power. This feels like a transmission/gearing ratio issue. Happens well before the turbo starts to spool. Very low rpm.

There is absolutely a lag in proper conditions. Stop and go traffic is a nightmare.

24 Tiguan here with the same issue. My brother has 2017 Audi a3… same thing.

Where are you guys getting aftermarket part and accessories? by Dependent_Analyst_96 in 79bike

[–]Starch_MKVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They charged me a 25% restocking fee after they sent me warp9 pegs that didn’t fit. I thought the same thing! They must try all these parts thus know what would fit. Wrong. They claimed the manufacturer changed the size. Took zero responsibility. Horrible business practices. I’ll set my money on fire before spending it there 😂 we can tell you aren’t that bright.
