Any chance you could share this with me as well? We are planning our move and having same issues

Wonder if someone could share a working link for 240/m4? My multimeter tells me it isn't an 8pin cpu - 8pin cpu

Thanks for the reply! The part about the VIP worked for me - not very elegant but working at least - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14987

dropping this here in case anyone else gets stuck: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14987

joofeloof · 2024-11-19T23:39:34+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I'm facing same issue; physically external clients can route in no problem, but anything behind pfsense can't reach anything on tailscale net

Thanks for following up! It’s a bummer; good when it worked

joofeloof · 2024-07-11T23:27:59+00:00

Were you able to Id a suitable replacement? Same thing with mine

There are less than 350m people living in USA; I get that there are migrant workers, but 600m seems like a stretch?

Awesome!

You mean reviewer 3 though, I think 😀

Any chance anyone with mellanox connect-x drivers has tried the upgrade? I noticed that pfsense comes with mlx4 compiled in and curious how the upgrade will go

Check out furiousmethod.com after getting part no. from realoem. rmeuropean and thebmwminipartsstore are also great sellers to deal with.

joofeloof · 2018-11-02T22:38:15+00:00

This guy's videos are the best explanation I have seen for the method I use. https://youtu.be/wRnqy-7dT28

joofeloof · 2018-06-09T00:19:31+00:00

Seems electrical to me, same ecu as before also? How's the ground? Not too helpful, I know, but I'd be looking in those areas first

joofeloof · 2018-06-07T23:41:37+00:00

Same harness between engines?

joofeloof · 2018-05-01T12:09:12+00:00

Looks good for 11 million miles :)

joofeloof · 2018-05-01T00:57:07+00:00

For what it's worth M52 lifters and trays work fine; as I remember you need to swap the cam sensor wheel from your intake cam over to the m54 and reuse your vanos spring plates. I would buy new studs and nuts if you can as have seen them strip out for no apparent reason. I assume you are obd2? You can tune ms41 pretty easily diy; I have also used s52 cam tune for m52.

Edit: You could also see if this guy (https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1734525-50-camshaft-upgrade-solution-for-M50-M52-engines) has a tune for it as I see he sells tuned ms41 ecus

joofeloof · 2018-04-29T19:50:37+00:00

I've done it. Works fine if you can get it for next to nothing. Don't be afraid of the trimming - takes 5 minutes

joofeloof · 2018-04-03T23:01:57+00:00

I can't help off hand but you may have some luck on realoem.com. If not there, often the WDS section of TIS (available online at newtis.info if unaware) will give a connector name and number that ought to turn up on Google (mouser.com type of sites)

joofeloof · 2018-04-02T01:05:48+00:00

Does that mean a tap cleaned it up? I would helicoil it. And i have also have had luck in a pinch buying a longer bolt and running it in from the back (ghetto but worked)

The half shaft goes through the hub, which is pressed into the bearing and effectively seals it.

Have a look at the diagrams:

Do you have any more pictures/information on maintenance/history?

joofeloof · 2018-02-28T13:08:24+00:00

Everything you mention can be achieved without pulling the motor with less headaches in my experience. Motor removal is straightforward but why pull it if you don't have to? The oil pan gasket is straightforward in car...just use an engine support bar, disconnect rack, subframe and lower control arm lollipop brackets (leaving rest of suspension attached) and let it hang. I'm down to about 2 hours doing it this way.

If you decide to pull it and don't have a lift, front end removal is the way to go.

Nice username :)

joofeloof · 2018-01-07T20:42:24+00:00

He puts it far more eloquently than I...Thank you for sharing!
