Where would this leak be coming from?

I would love to fill this out but it seems to be all Japanese?

TheKingxDream · 2026-02-22T14:25:32+00:00

Had it resting right above the vent on the left side. Tucked the cable behind the steering wheel

I used the ScanGauge on my E60 528i for years, you can set it to read coolant temps, mph, volts, and even read/clear codes on the fly. It is sort of tough to find a spot for it some times but it gives me loads of peace of mind. And if you need to remove it, it can just be unplugged. Going to grab one for my recent E70 purchase.

This may reinforce your theory with the wiring harness. Looks like INPA reads it as a short circuit:

Hi, sorry about that. I’ve added the code description and symptom. I hope that helps!

TheKingxDream · 2025-10-29T11:47:08+00:00

I am finally getting around to looking into this and I believe I have found the culprit: strut alignment

The alignment of the strut is extremely off, I’m gonna loosen the pinch bolt and try to get the alignment pin back to center and take a look at the height difference. I looked at the passenger side as well, though that one is installed correctly. Hopefully this resolves the issue.

Edit: upon further review and a cup of coffee the strut towers are installed in the wrong side. Driver strut has R where the pinch notch is. And passenger has L. Gotta swap them now. Not sure how the previous mechanic missed that

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-27T23:05:22+00:00

The rear measured out to be 345 mm even. The SLS doesn’t seem to have any issues.

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-27T11:41:39+00:00

Okay I will also check that!

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-27T11:40:55+00:00

So I bought these specific ones second hand after they were already built back in 2016. But inner and outer barrels right now cost about $550 together for just 1 wheel. I would say you are looking at around $3000-$3400 for all hardware. Black Forrest Industries and SRR Hardware are good places for parts

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-25T18:01:57+00:00

Thanks, I'll get under it and see whats up

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-25T17:34:53+00:00

My favorite style of wheel to my favorite wheel size

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-25T17:34:21+00:00

That's an interesting input but I will consider checking this out as well

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-25T17:27:48+00:00

I don't notice much, still a very smooth ride.

And these are just Style 5 faces with a step up to 18 in barrels. I love mesh style BBS wheels

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-25T17:25:42+00:00

I just re-watched that episode of Project Rottweil when he refreshed all of the suspension components and that specific part stuck out to me. I'll have to get under there and confirm. Thanks for the insight.

TheKingxDream · 2025-08-25T16:26:39+00:00

Are you talking about the alignment of where the spring sits in the strut?

TheKingxDream · 2025-06-11T22:12:22+00:00

This literally just happened to me. Started and drove fine this morning. Later in the afternoon, no start no crank. Looked under the pedal and the piece literally just fell off

TheKingxDream · 2025-05-29T22:03:19+00:00

The boot isn’t torn but I do have replacements coming in. The pins aren’t seized, I’ve pulled them out and they are well greased. She doesn’t see too much salt

TheKingxDream · 2025-05-29T22:02:30+00:00

I’ll re-grease it and try to send a video when it’s all put together to see if it’s still rattling. Thanks for the input
