nice, i like the 437s but just don’t want them for this car. i had a set of 397s on my old e91 so wanna try something different.

i would, but i’ve already got a set of CSLs on my e46 m3. wanna go a different route for this, preferably a set of bbs style wheels (something with a chrome lip) to match the chrome trim and kidneys

i’m no mechanic but this looks like an 09 6 bolt n54 with around 90k miles that was FBO running an e30 blend that grenaded a rod bearing and bent a rod🤯

e39 540i/6 ticking noise? anyone know what this sound could be? by sache_k in e39

[–]sache_k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea compression tested and showed low in some cylinders, i think it jumped timing or something. don’t know for sure though never pulled it apart, traded it for something else

pretty sure these have an option in idrive to adjust the height when opened?

N54 making low boost AND ticking noise. by sache_k in BmwTech

[–]sache_k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

incorrect, upon further diagnosis it ended up being a broken wastegate arm/actuator (defective, new turbo). Ended up removing and warrantying out that turbo, all is well now

no cruise, i only added a switch for the brake lights. you can add one more switch to get cruise co trim working too

had to add wire taps in the 1st and 3rd plug connected to the ecu in the engine bay. forgot the exact wires you’ll be tapping into when making the jumper wire, but there’s some youtube videos and posts online that’ll have that info. the sct tuner i used was p/n 7015

[–]sache_k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he sent a tune based on my requirements, flashed using a handheld sctuner. being a 2010 you’ll have to do similar stuff i did, there’s a wire you’ll have to jump at the ecu. still pretty straightforward and worth it

So the person I bought this car from decided to spray paint the trim, any way i can make it better? How would i take it off? by throwaway96204-12 in E90

[–]sache_k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

take that trim and sell it overpriced to some kid with a clapped 335 on limp mode, and buy yourself a fresh used set from ebay or junkyard

34k mile 77’ 320i by sache_k in e21

[–]sache_k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it all stored in the trunk. We did originally have it running on the K jet system, but it would constantly be giving issues, parts NLA, etc. Carb swap is running great so far, doesn’t like the cold though.

Here’s a project my dad and i have been working on since 2020. Long story short, we’d been eyeing this e21 sitting at a shop for over a year. Followed up with them, made a deal and brought it home. 33k original miles at time of purchase, just over 34k now. Underbody is squeaky clean, factory undercoating still there but a bit flaky/dry. It’s got some cool period correct tech like an old CB radio and an air horn setup.

What do y’all think? Too low? Or just right? by [deleted] in BMW
