Remap or Bolt-Ons First?

My engine plans for my 135i include cat back exhaust, BOV + chargepipe, induction kit, FMIC (at the very least).



As far as software goes, i will be getting a flash based map put onto the ECU from a reputable tuner in the area (DMS Automotive). They quote figures of 370BHP + 405LB/FT from previous maps on a stock 135i engine. I have a friend with a 335D, and he had that remapped by them, and he did achieve what they quoted for his car on a dyno, so it's a reliable gain.



My main question is, do i go for the remap first, or do i wait until i have installed all the bolt on mods? Or does it not really matter?

Unplugged Active Sound!

I think I just gained a few HP back lol...

The car has less of that V10 wannabe sound. Or the Chewbacca grunt as I call it. With my Turner muffler delete, it sounds like a proper sports/touring car.

It was very easy, if anyone's interested.

1) remove your trunk liner which is fastened in place by 2 plastic screws under the flapping portion.

Note: For those who have done the Exhaust Meister, it's in the same area on the left side of the trunk behind the carpet.



2) You have roughly 4 of 5 plastic rivets that attach secure the carpet in place. Some are under the rear deck others are in front of the tail lights.



3)You will need to work the carpet our from under the trunk hinge area first. Once you free that flap, you need to un-tuck the carpet from the outer weather stripping in order to pull the whole section including the storage shelf to expose the stupid fake maker. It looks like this below:

4)Then just unplug the wire cable cluster from the unit by pressing and swinging the locking latch to the right. So far I've had no issues.

BMW Meet in Santa Clara!

Hey guys!



Hope you guys are all doing well. Just wanted to let you know that we'll be hosting a BMW meet sometime in April. We are planning to see which date is best for all of you (aiming for a Saturday)! In addition to the meet, we are planning to have a detail special where you guys will get discounts on services and products! The more people that are interested the bigger the discount you guys get! On top of that, we are planning to have our dent repair guy come and fix all those door dings you may have. There will either be food trucks coming or we'll be supplying the food. I'm going to create a list to see how many of you are interested. There are other BMW enthusiasts coming from other forums. Let's try to make this meet big!

Can we get 2 new sub-forums: Project Cars and Non-BMW Project cars?

There's a "Sponsor M3 Project Cars Showcase" and it would be cool if we members had a "Member M3 Project Cars Showcase" and a "Member non-M3 Project Cars Showcase". I have a bunch of things that are going into my car build, and I'm always posting up a bit here, and a bit there in different sub-forums, depending on if what I'm doing is engine/nav/wheel related, when I'd rather just post them under one post about my car.



Additionally, we're all car guys/girls here, and I like to read about other builds for other non-BMW related cars that the members are participating in.

LCI Taillight Conversion Coding

Done some research on the regional forums and have emailed Than at BCR CR to inquire about some things I would like done to my 2007 E90 335i. He does not have a definitive answer on successfully coding LCI tailights to a pre-LCI ECU. Has anyone in this area done this conversion and had it coded before?



Thanks guys.

DownPipe question

I was wanting to bring my downpipe over from my n55 135 when I pick up my 235. I was wondering if this is possible or not? I didn't see an issue but I've been reading about specific downpipes for the f30 and such.




Delrin Motor Mounts?

I might suck at searching the forums, but this is to let you know that i have tried :)



It's time to replace my mounts, and i would like to replace them with some delrin mounts. I was unable to find anything aftermarket for the N52, other than diff mounts.



I did find some mention of a 335is upgraded mount... which works for the N52? Can anyone confirm this? And, does anyone know of ANY aftermarket motor mounts other than the M3 applications?



Thank you!

Mixing ethonal gas with non-ethonal gas?

I have a 2008 sedan non-turbo.



I just recently moved and have found out that the local garage/gas station down the street from me sells non-ethonal gas... its like ameri-gas or something?



I have always used like exxon or Sunoco gas since I've had the car, and these gas stations include the "10% ethonal" mix.



If I start using non-ethonal gas are they are "side-effects" since my car has always used 10% ethonal gas?



What happens if you have to mix gas? Say I fill up non-ethonal, go on a road trip, and have to refill when there is like 1/4 tank of non-eth and I am at a station that only sells 10% eth gas? I would think that it shouldn't cause too much of an issue, right? The additives in the gas shouldn't make them "mix" wrong or anything?



If I am constantly switching back and forth, and mixing the gas, would that cause any problems with the engine ECU or timing or A/R ratios or any of that?



What would you do?



In like a 50 mile radius of me, there are like 2 non-ethonal gas stations and one just happens to be 2 miles from my house.



It is not a "top-tier" gas like Shell that has addatives, but it's non-ethonal.



What you would rather be dumping in your tanks?

Any reports on used WPC treated bearings?

Seems like the majority of those replacing their rod bearings are getting the WPC treatment, but have any WPC bearings come back out to see how they actually look X number of miles down the road? Just curious if there is any quantitative support behind the process and whether it actually helps the S65. Searched but couldn't find anything, though I'm sure someone will provide a link 5 seconds after I post this. :D

M1 M2 buttons explained

I found this video to be pretty helpful to explain the different buttons and settings that are available. Though it's for the M5, it seems pretty close to the M3/4 set-up apart from the location of the e-brake and look of the drivelogic button. I'm not too excited about needing to push the M button twice - once to select and twice to confirm - when you need to wake the car up from its soft comfort setting slumber. Will this be the same for us?

2006 E90 330i - Sparkling Graphite/Black/Aluminum - Low miles

Hi Everyone,



I have a 2006 E90 330i with 61,000 miles and climbing i'm looking to sell. I purchased it back in August of 2013 from (coincidentally) an old family friend. He worked overseas so he barely put any miles on the car and it was CPO. I love the car and it has been very reliable for me, but i'm looking to get an SUV.



I replaced the rear rotors and brake pads, and brake pad sensor at about 55k.

I only use LL-01 approved BMW oil, and last oil change was about a month ago. The car was also professionally tinted to 35%.



The interior is in excellent condition, exterior is fantastic as well. Car looks and drives great. I have not come across any mechanical issues, but the headunit LCD dims in really warm weather (works fine in the cold :rolleyes:), it has not bothered me enough to want to fix it because i'm still able to get full functionality out of it.



I'm looking for 15k, located in Northern VA. Shoot me a ping if interested :)











Buckled wheel repair?

Has anyone had their buckled wheel repaired or is it not worth it?



not talking about a wheel buckle that is bent as a banana but one that is very slighlty buckled when driving along at certain speeds can feel a judder/vibration come through the car/steering wheel, mainly 40/50mph. (i have had it balanced 3 times at 3 different garages who have said the wheel is slightly buckled)



If so can anyone reccomend wheel places near the west mids area and what sort of rough costs it involves?




Sunday Funday Photoshoot

Engine problems with JB4

So I just installed JB4 on my car a week or so ago, and left it on map 0. This is because I already had an Open Flash Tablet tune that I needed to get rid of. That didn't turn out too well, because now my engine is acting EVERY TYPE OF CRAZY. It's severely misfiring, the powerband is super jerky, and the turbos aren't working. I already replaced my spark plugs and coilpacks, but that hardly made a difference. What's the problem?




Technical N55 vacuum question

I've been reading and trying to understand the boost control on the N55 and have a question. Does anybody know if the vacuum accumulator (used by the boost pressure converter) is separated from the vacuum chamber for the crankcase ventilation system? These appear to be both built into the cylinder head cover and I'm curious if they are interconnected in either way. Thanks




Steering Rack Boot

When I did my last oil change I noticed that I had a small tear in the rack and pinion boot close to the outer tie rod. I searched around and really haven't found much on the subject. I called my local BMW dealership and they said that they would have to take the rack completely off the car to replace the boot and perform a full alignment afterwards. They quoted me around $500 to replace both boots and perform the alignment. From my look under the car it appears that it would be as simple as pulling the outer tie rod end off, replacing the boot, getting the tie rod end back on as close as possible to where it was previously, and then having a shop set the toe back to normal. Maybe I'm missing something or not taking something into consideration but it seems like it would be like any other car that I've worked on. Is the dealership feeding me a bunch of crap or is their more involved than what I proposing? Thanks in advance for your help.

FS: 19" Vossen CV1 w/ tires and TPMS- $1700

Decided to part ways with my 19" vossen cv1. They are in mint condition all the way around besides a little bit of rash on one wheel. They are 19x8.5 et15 in the front and 19x10 et22 rear and are wrapped in falken 452 tires. Fronts are brand new and rears could be replaced soon. The wheels have never seen the snow and they're still under the vossen 5 year warranty. cars always been garaged. They have lci tpms sensors installed. I have a nice flush fitment lowered on springs with my e90 lci. The wheels bring a lot of compliments and definitely set off the look of the car. The wheels will also give a nice fitment on e92, m3, 5 and 7 series. Looking for $1700. You can contact me through pm or at 443-280-4326 for more pics or any questions. Thanks

Which mod would be better? Catch Can or Meth/Water Injection

Hello all. I have been told by my SA that I should be getting my D back this coming week from the 3 months they have had it "waiting" on parts for the carbon build up. They are using the new protocols and chemically cleaning it all and replacing small stuff -- I don't have all the details but as of last week the intake had spent like 40 hours in the bath as well as the head.



Anyway, since I should be getting a clean engine back I want to keep it that way and am would like the opinions of those that have them (i've been keeping up with the posts) which feels better? which keeps it all cleaner" which is ultimately easier to install? maintain? What are your thoughts on them. I am of the thought that one or the other is good enough but with Meth Injection likelihood of needing of a catch can is minimal.



Thanks! Scott




Would dealers swap aftermarket for oem?

I got to thinking that many dealers that have used cars that have aftermarket wheels on them would prefer oem. I know they could sell them but im not sure if they would want to take them time to do that. I got my oems type 162 and was thinking about approaching them with a swap offer or a swap plus cash. Im out of the country right now so i figured i would stop and ask my fellow members what they thought.

car detailing

probably a boring old thread but ive read a few previous ones but would like to get a solution to my dilemma



i pick up the car on wednesday however i opted out of the seal and protect after reading peoples reports on here.

FS: Berk Race axle-back (black)

Bought this Berk race earlier this month from another member.

Didn't have the chance to get it on until two weekends ago.

The exhaust when I got it was basically brand new.

Previous owner barely got any miles on it.



I only drive my car on the weekends since I commute to work.

Being a new car with less than 5,000 miles I would like to pass this on to someone else.

I want to appreciate the quietness of my car a little big longer ;)



This exhaust sounds "Amazing". Being on a n55 dct, the gurgles and the pops are just eargasmic.

However, I want my quiet car back. I think the previous owner said he only got like 3,000 miles on it.

Then from me just driving around down the past 2 weekends, it's got about 341 miles - give or take.

I remember putting it on when the mileage was just at 4,000. Give or take... like 4,005



Since a vert has a subframe brace that you need to maneuver over;

it has some small scratches since it's a PITA to get this on and off from a vert.

Otherwise it's in excellent condition. The tips doesn't have any scratches, just the bottom of the pipe.

Hangers are a little scuffed... but who is going to be looking at the hangers....



Asking $420 shipped. If you live around the chicago burbs area, we can arrange a pick up.

If serious to buy and pick up, we can do it today.

Otherwise it'll have to wait till next weekend.

I barely have any time during the week.



The hanger mounts were a big pain, so I have a hanger removal tool I got from amazon for $20.

If the buyer would like that as well, I'll include that for $15.

I ordered it last week to use it yesterday when taking off the exhaust.

It truly makes your life so much easier to get the hangers on and off.

It was really a wow moment, can't believe I didn't have it when I took off the factory axle-back.



I'll include the new Berk screws which were never used as well as the screws I bought from Ace.

Forgot the previous owner sent the Berk screws and was buried in the box. Oops

I will ALSO include, a brand new Perrin urethane hanger mount.

Didn't need to use it though. Buyer will get it, cause I have no use for it :rolleyes:

You will definitely need the hanger tool to get the urethane mount on and off.

This thing just doesn't bend at all. No room for play if you were to use a screw driver or a pry bar.



Should have wiped down the exhaust before taking pictures. Got some swirly water marks around the pipe...



$435 shipped for everything. Payment via Paypal only. Will be shipped via UPS Ground.

FS: KW EDC Delete Unit. Brand new.

So you want to live the low, body roll free lifestyle but are hesitant about coilovers because of EDC. Dry your tears and stop weeping because I will be the shoulder you lean on. Consider my KW EDC delete kit as an unused Kleenex for your car. All that is needed is to plug these in and just like the winds of yesteryear the error will be gone. Her confused brain will mellow out as if she was hanging out with Bob Marley on the beach, drinking the finest Castrol 10w60 with a little umbrella in the glass. So contact me if you have searched far and wide to no avail and don’t want to pay top dollar for your sweet mistress.



Grand spectacle coming soon.

I popped into the dealer yesterday to enquire about a 320d, walked out an hour later with a 330d m sport order form, it was a good deal so I just couldn't resist, I think the last weekend in March was a good time to look for a deal :happyanim:

normal vacuum and odd boost reading?

hey guys sooo ive been trying to chase this boost leak that im not sure entirely exists lol. my vacuum at idle is -18 cold and then -20 after about 45 seconds to a minute..seems fine..my boost is shooting up to 10 psi and then dropping off pretty quik..sometimes from 10 to 5 or sometimes from about 8 to 6…im not running any tuners..mods include bmw power kit, custom intake ,and vsrf cp and tial bov (11psi spring)



bov sounds kind of light and i can def here a suction sound a second before the bov sounds off..seems like it was sucking in unmetered air some how by the sounds of it but why would my vac be good…i did notice that the intake piping that connects to the rear turbo all the way in the back of the engine bay seems like i may have nocked it loose when installing the intake maybe? seems to wiggle a bit and i noticed a sensor there? barometric sensor? maybe lol ? im wondering is anyone thinks maybe that pipe being loose is causing that sensor to trip out during hard acceleration and trick itself into overboosting and then underboosting ? kind of confused ? unmetered air?…i know this was a book soo i appreciate anyone whos taken the time and could speculate on this with me…thank you

Anyone Coming to Streets of Willow Event on 4/5-4/6?

I've been away from the boards for a long while now, but I'm posting again because I'm excited to take part in my first track event next weekend at Streets of Willow (just north of the Los Angeles area). Anyone else planning to attend that event?



Thankfully I'm getting great advice and assistance from one of my co-workers who has participated in track events for almost 15 years. My primary goals are to have fun and stretch my car's (modified) legs in a safe environment.

FS: N54 index 7 and 9 injectors

I have 2 spare injectors that came back from Injector Doc as good to go. Refurbed, flow tested, and new seals.



I have one Index 7 and one Index 9.



As long as you don't have the newer Index 11's, you're fine with these.



Saves you the trouble of having to buy a whole set of 3 (1 bank total) for $600 from the dealer.



Pretty hard to find the older indexes as BMW discontinued them and forced everyone to replace sets of 3 with the Index 11+





$100 each.

Sport bumpers on a 535Xi Modern Line?

Wife is considering getting a Modern Line 535Xi to get the all Oyster interior and I am trying to figure out what would be needed and approx cost to change out the front & rear bumpers to the M-Sport versions. Would likely like to add the lower side sills as well to complete the look.



Anyone done this or can share some insight?




FS:M3 steering wheel, paddles and trim

Traded the E92 335i for an F30 335i today - so have a few parts to sell.



Genuine M3 steering wheel with accompanying M3 paddles and M trim plate. All purchased in December 2010 and used since then, check out the original post about the retrofit here. This was one of my favourite mods, the M3 wheel is far better than the standard 335 wheel! In good condition with no damage, note the stitching has faded a little over time, see pics below. Heaps of DIY posts to help with the install!



Asking $500 for the lot.
