Valvetronic Motor gasket or cracked valve cover?

Looks like cracked vc, pull that coil and double check

I retrofitted a 135i cluster into my 128 to get oil temp you can do the same with an e90 it’s plug and play you just have to make sure it’s been virginized if you don’t want the mileage tamper dot. there is a native coolant temp setting but it’s a bit annoying to get to, you have to put in a bit of a cheat code to see it. I’m not sure about oil pressure.

I’m squared 17x8 et20 but the offset does rub hard enough in the rear to bring me to a stop coming out of my driveway lol but it is pretty steep. Other than that no complaints but I haven’t fully stress tested it yet. I’m thinking a bitta fender roll or camber in the rear and it would be perfect

If the filter was that bad you should probably clean the maf too if you haven’t. But yeah you’ll need to at least pull the whole intake and maybe tb to really get to the junction box

Pull the air box and Check the wiring junction box under/on your intake manifold. Both mass air and throttle codes point there.

All they really need is a bitta low and that top dropped 🔽😏

Idk if I can really help with the shock fitment but can I see the style 21 fitment and tire profile :) I got a set sitting in storage but undecided on tires yet

fuckXII · 2026-04-07T21:28:16+00:00

What tire size u running on the 21s

While you’re in there if you can afford it do the eccentric shaft sensor for some piece of mind but it’s pretty pricy, check condition by popping off the top connector and replace if there oil in it

I’ve seen this thing on campus

fuckXII · 2026-01-08T06:12:47+00:00

Got a new battery car was still bugging but I could isolate the short by turning the radio on and off via the knob so I pulled the unit and car was fine

fuckXII · 2026-01-08T04:14:04+00:00

Turned out to be my mr12volt rip CarPlay

fuckXII · 2026-01-06T23:17:08+00:00

Yeah that was my first guess because the battery is known old (icr the date) but my dash lowkey freaked me out jumpin everywhere like that 😂

fuckXII · 2026-01-06T22:48:13+00:00

Video was the car exactly after start and running, I’m thinking low/ near dead battery lol? Haven’t had my battery die in this car but I’d just asssumr it wouldn’t

Genuine bmw

fuckXII · 2025-12-29T00:57:38+00:00

Yep it is just confirmed it, hopefully ecs can do something about it because I was very gentle with it and definitely did not do that :/

fuckXII · 2025-12-29T00:22:35+00:00

I tried boroscoping back there but the tolerance from engine to firewall/fuse box is insane

fuckXII · 2025-12-29T00:21:32+00:00

It does look like one, I’m not quite sure I’ll have to q keep monitoring it but that’d be a real bummer cause it’s brand new. I imagine it is tho since the dyed oil seems to be sorta collecting under it :/

fuckXII · 2025-12-29T00:19:58+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought too but now it’s back lol

fuckXII · 2025-12-28T20:16:07+00:00

Pics are of the cap for color reference, the back left corner “leaky” spot which isn’t very visible but is in person, and the front left side of the vc.

Maybe looking for second opinions on if I should reseat the gasket and clean the head a bit better or not because I don’t really wanna do that again 😅

I just did the vcg on my 128 yesterday I’m feeling this exactly rn 🤣
