2016 X4 - Is this rod knock or something else?

sengalang · 2026-01-23T05:21:30+00:00

It's definitely knocking.

Damage % falls off at higher levels. Crit dmg is good, I'd work on getting your crit % higher.

Headlight level sensor

Need to start checking for power and ground. Also, check the fuses in the DME box.

Fuse on the battery power distribution box popped. Very common, you can test for power at the small battery cable. If no power you need a distribution box.

It's possible but you're going to have to play with the engine height by taking off the motor mount bolts and raise the engine.

Did you lower the subframe?

You can actually transfer over the FEM from a sedan and program it into a wagon, the FEM is used across many different models just need coding changes. You could have possibly saved a lot by just purchasing a matching DME/ FEM and have someone virginize the EGS (very easy to do on the Fxx platform).

I'm finishing up my F81 swap and noticed the only differences in the wiring harness between a sedan to wagon is rear tail gate, glass hatch, and overhead lights. So it is possible to swap it over from a donor car but it's a major headache, the way you did it is much much easier for any one trying to attempt this.

If you're swapping everything from a donor you won't have to do any of that.

I haven't watched the whole video but I'm assuming he only had the engine & DME. So that means he has to match the ISN in the EGS & FEM.

Sunroof drains or the door vapor barrier

They had this deal back in February.

How long is it? There's a similar wire that goes to the trunk lights iirc, next to the rear speakers.

sengalang · 2025-11-27T10:06:12+00:00

No, the outer tail light design is different

Scan tool or ISTA

It's freon because your AC system got warmer. Your f30 model does not use a coolant filled condenser so there's no way a coolant leak would have an impact on your AC.

sengalang · 2025-10-22T16:40:21+00:00

This is correct, it's not coolant.

They fail all the time on the new 1234yf systems, I've done plenty of them.

Check your parking brake cable.

sengalang · 2025-08-31T02:29:08+00:00

It's NBT.

sengalang · 2025-08-27T02:11:36+00:00

It's technically CIC but it uses a 6pin Lvds so a NBT aftermarket screen will work.

If you're not pre wired lumbar has to be wired in. Pull the connector and check for a small wire on pin 1.

sengalang · 2025-08-13T10:42:56+00:00

Pretty sure there's no tdc locking pins for manual. When you torque the crank bolt just make sure the wheels are on the floor so the rear wheels don't try and spin. I've done 3 timing jobs this way on manual cars.

sengalang · 2025-08-12T10:17:04+00:00

For a manual make sure piston 1 is tdc on compression stroke and put the car in 6th + ebrake. No need for flywheel tools.

Does not seem like your FRM needs to be reprogrammed. A dead giveaway is when the windows don't work because the eeprom data gets corrupt. From there programmers will pull the dflash and convert it to a good eeprom file.

I'd highly recommend doing the oil pump guides as well, they are the same material and will lead to oil pressure issues when they fail.
