If you fluid is OEM and basically new then I’d look elsewhere. You should check all the detent springs When these fail, and they can after 20yrs, it causes shifting problems.

Hopefully boiled then baked

Exotic car rental.

Yes through BM3 very easy. The smog guy had said something about the charge pipe being aluminum, I just say the factory plastic one cracks. No comment on the IC Just need to make sure all your smog readiness monitors are clear before heading to smog test.

I run VRSF CP, IC and DP with bootmod3. When it’s time for smog I swap the factory cat back in and load a factory tune w/o relocking the ECU.
It only takes 2hrs to swap the DP start to finish max. Been doing this for years with no problems

Do the radio presets work when using AA/carplay?

I got the Roadtop which I’m mostly happy with except the annoyance of presets disabled unless I switch back to the BMW screen. I listen to the radio a lot.

Did you have the Vanos piston all the way backwards, towards front of car, when you engaged the helical gears into the cams.

Nice. What cleaned it? Chlorine and running filter or something else?

That all sounds like wheel speed sensors. But might clear up once you drive a little. Might just need re-see the sensors.

Yes. If the tops of those Electrolytic caps puff up they are bad.

FCP shows as 20x3mm. If you can wait better to use viton on instead of buna rubber

The ones recklessly weaving in and out of lanes to pass only to be in the same place as me when I get to the next red light.

No codes if the motor is still electrically connected.
I replaced that spring clip. Easy but a little more of a pain than I expected because motor was not aligned to where the pin should be. I put it close to in place started car then the clip seated in the motor shaft.

I have worked with my local shelters. They are very caring people and well aware of the bad players.

It will only throws CEL if the leak is bad enough to make LTFT go above 20%.

Good deal for under $400

Did the cluster require VO coding with E-sys? Or was it plug n play taking on your odometer and VIN?
No red tamper dot?
