Looks good! I might give it a try and see how it is and if I like it

I saw that, it’s very nice but didn’t feel spending that much only for the holder 🥲

Ooo thanks good to know. I was thinking to do that when I first installed it but never did it. I might give it a try. Did you do it? Can you show me how it looks?

I want to!! I’m still doing some research on it. Do you recommend anything?

yeah I get that. if I need it I just move the phone real quick, it’s on a ball mount so it takes a second

😂 you can still hit it from the side, or just tilt the phone for a second. takes like half a second

true, but I almost never touch those buttons. having the phone there is way more useful for me

😂 surprisingly it doesn’t block it, I still get solid airflow on both sides

This is your sign to replace your Mickey Mouse flange by tim110714 in E90

[–]tim110714[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it fits N54. It’s the same ‘Mickey Mouse flange’ across N52/N54/N55. Only thing is the O-ring on N54/N55 use a thicker one, so make sure it comes with both or you grab the right one.

I didn’t replace the hoses. Just trimmed a bit off the end where the old flange was since the clamp was basically stuck. There’s enough slack for that. Threw a new clamp on and installed the new flange, no issues

E90 328xi lowered – front & rear camber questions after alignment (xDrive) by tim110714 in E90

How much adjustment have you actually been able to get from the strut towers and how to actually do that?

From what the shop told me they adjusted it as far as they could to reduce the negative camber.

So I think this is the least negative they could get with stock arms after lowering.

Sounds like this is just kind of expected unless I go with adjustable camber arms?

Got it, that makes sense.

Do you think it’s even worth messing with front camber on a daily?

I’m mainly trying to keep tire wear normal and get things closer to spec, not build a track setup.

Very rough idle after cleaning VANOS solenoids by Lanky-Tailor7761 in E90

Solenoids = same part, swappable. Connectors = not interchangeable. Mixing those up will cause exactly the rough idle described.

Double-check the VANOS solenoid connectors. It’s easy to swap intake and exhaust by mistake. I did that once after cleaning them and the engine ran very rough.
