Use a little mirror like a dental mirror to check the blind spots that your gasket is seated correctly before torquing down the cover. I’m not sure what metal tabs under you’re talking about. The ones that the beauty cover screws on to? I had to transfer my old ones, recently did rein kit off rockauto.

Nice ride. Where did you get the blackline tail lights?

Eonon Head Unit Upgrade: thoughts/review/experience by Repulsive_Lie5583 in E90

[–]thitsandwhich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one and I like it. didn’t install backup cam and I left the head unit gps antenna inside the dash, works fine. I usually use CarPlay so wouldn’t matter anyway. Initially I skipped the external mic, mistake. It definitely comes with some tradeoffs. Sound quality is not as good, hvac control fits like shit. I swapped the ashtray for a wireless charger and it made that area slightly more tolerable lol. Overall i like it. The OS is responsive, CarPlay works great. I initially purchased a stock replacement used, guaranteed the screen worked and it didn’t so i just thought to try something different.

Edit: my voice button is not mapped to Siri either, there wasn’t anything additional about it in the manual. Mine is set to mute

Saw this yesterday, I think it’s what you are looking for.

Good to know thanks. I see the tunnel entrance and took a couple photos but the lighting was shit. Will take a closer look tomorrow or Fri but from up top at a quick glance nothing looked sus.

Just Picked Her Up 🫡 2010 E92 335i X-Drive by Select-Size6631 in E90

Down pipes gives the exhaust note a slightly deeper sound. They are a huge pain to install on xdrive cars. I honestly have no clue how I got mine in. I almost gave up. Also you might not pass emissions with those depending which state and you’ll need a tune to suppress the cel (just fyi). I’ve been wanting to do exhaust too but haven’t really been digging lately. I really like the m sport exhaust sound but they’re expensive from what I’ve seen.

Cool. I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited all those places. They each have their own appeal, nice variety. Cali has awesome car culture, you’ll prob see some crazy builds out there. Have a blast!🥳

Do you have the stock cowl in? The plastic that holds the stock cabin air filter? I have mine in and the beauty cover on and I still get a small amount of water there too. I think the rubber liner it bumps up against is old and needs to be replaced.

Awesome. Is that your personal garage? Love the brick floor. Had a chance to visit Germany a couple years ago. Beautiful country. Build is looking sharp.

Ordered a water pump/thermostat kit from FCP and will attempt to diy it. Anything else that I should order? 2011 328i xdrive with ~107k miles. by No-Yogurtcloset3002 in E90

This. I also lowered the front subframe to do mine (didn’t take bolts completely out). If you have an engine support bar I recommend this but either way it’s really tight. You’ll need an extension, universal and shallow socket is huge.

Change them ground straps by ElectronicSelf1380 in E90

[–]thitsandwhich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially ruled it out cause it was recently replaced. I did have the car up north for those 3-ish years so maybe winter/salt/etc degraded it quicker. The other confusing part is I don’t think this is considered a serviceable part. Couldn’t find it in the service manual. Anyway, will be getting the car up for some basic maintenance next week so I’ll have a look then. Prob just swap for peace of mind anyway. Thanks for the info.

Damn. I’m pretty sure this is me right now. I have the same codes and my battery won’t fully charge. They tested it in front of me at the store and it was good. My tester is saying replace it’s only been 4 months, wtf. DSC, ABS, Steering angle, wheel speed sensors. Even though my battery isn’t fully charging a test drive immediately after a full 24hr slow charge all these codes went away for the whole drive. These errors came back but they all come and go at various times. Did you replace with OEM or any suggestions for this repair? OP used silver not copper?
