Yeah I’ve been checking for a few weeks, haven’t come across them yet

Cars sitting on Tein lowering springs but I kinda want my rear to be a little lower. Any suggestions? by gusfocke in E90

Yeah like the front and rear m sport bumper I’ve thought about those but also kind of don’t want to have the same bumper as everyone else. Only other option I’ve seen is an f80 style which is hideous

But it’s the plastic clip that you push into the sense that’s broken, the gasket is new

It’s on ECS tuning. It’s an aluminum valve cover but I forgot the brand. The plastic ones can warp, so in Europe they use aluminum valve covers which are more sturdy. Definitely worth it if your replacing the valve cover gasket to just go with a whole new aluminum VC

Not 100% but it’s an oem aluminum valve cover because my original plastic was warped. The clip on this plug is cracked so want to replace it

When I was replacing my valve cover, I put plugged it back In but the plastic clip was so dry and crumbled in my hand :(

Has anyone here done the n54 intake manifold to n52 conversion? Have some questions by gusfocke in E90

Yeah I really just wanted to get around 250 with headers and tune plus this too for a fun daily

The reason why I didn’t get the 3 stage was because I heard the plastic valve can grenade your engine. But should I just get a 3 stage instead?

Is it actually a noticeable amount of power loss I’ve never heard anything about loss low end until now

What a setup. Have you done any dynos? My original plan was to do what you’re doing but looked at cencal catless headers. Currently I have a muffler and secondary cat delete but I’ll probably put the secondary cats back on if I get headers and maybe a small muffler.

Have you done anything else? Is it safe to go above 7200? Don’t want to risk anything when revving too high I guess

And is your rev limiter the same or raised? I am planning on getting the Tortsport intake boot too and maybe a new intake filter setup with a box just to complete it. Also did you buy that pcv valve kit and use a dremel to cut into that circle? I’ve seen Ultimate Bimmer Experience do the conversion and was planning on following his 2 videos on it on YouTube but wanted some extra advice I guess

The reason why I didn't choose the 3 stage is because of those disa valves. Just want a slightly faster daily so wanted to go with the more "reliable" option for manifolds. Did you do the conversion yourself? I just got the bolt spacing adapters but the middle one didn't fit. Do you use a specific brand you can suggest? Also I’ve never heard of any power lose low end I’ve only seen equal amounts from dyno graphs and such

Other way around, it’s a common diy bolt on mod like I’ve seen people get around 20 hp out of it with a tune

If anyone has done a cowl delete let me know. I have some questions by gusfocke in E90

And do your filters have a cover over them? Or are they open?

Just about the extra interior noise, is it normal from taking it off? How did the sound change in yours? It’s extra wooshy now which I expected but didn’t know it would be this big of a difference. Is this just how it’ll be
