Hello, I have a few questions regarding the new turbo. My old turbo blew up so I had to change things like intercooler etc. But after fitting the new turbo it feels like the turbo is low on boost because I think the company that did the repair set the waste gate to low position, so I was thinking if I should add a little pressure by adjusting the screw on the wastegate. And the second question is about that small pipe under air filter that goes to turbo intake. Can’t that make some issue... New turbo ..read more

Hi all, I've recently bought an e46 touring that has had a couple of upgrades completed by the previous owner. When adjusting the ride height yesterday I noticed that the N/S front brake disc had a large groove in it. Has anyone else had this issue? I've been told that the calipers are Porsche and the discs are 345mm x 28mm. Is this an alignment issue with the brackets used for the conversion or something else. I am not a mechanic but I do a lot of work to my own cars on weekends. Any help... M3 CSL brake upgrade issues ..read more

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I have a 2005 645ci with active steering and suspension. The car developed an active steering problem after it was flooded. I have had the ECU changed and after several attempts to get the steering angle (sitting at 6 O' clock position) rectified I was forced to take it to the local BMW dealership. After spending a few days on it they have found it to be the motor in the steering rack which isn't igniting. Long story short I'm looking for somewhere that... 645 ci steering rack ..read more

Hello, I would like some advice. We serviced a BMW 520i At E28 for a friend. The car had a problem with the engine running rough from the beginning. At first it was a problem when both cold and hot. The engine ran erratically, shaking the entire car and the idle was choppy. The car's wiring was changed, the valve clearance was adjusted, all the hoses were replaced, which were already in bad condition after all these years (that is, we replaced them all. The injectors were cleaned and the MAF... BMW 520i AT E28 irregular engine running when cold ..read more

Greetings ? I trust this finds you all well. I have recently purchased a 330d Lci N57 with 118k Full Dealer History. Car is Completely Original ,Which is Great But Feels Very Underpowered. The Previous Owner Did Mumble Something about Getting the Emmisions System Cleaned. Apart from General Lack of Power Across the Rev Range and Economy Not Fantastic, The Only Noticeable Issue is that it Idles Really Erratically when Cold. This Levels Out When Warm..

Hi all Had the car into the garage today for what I thought was a worn and rather noisy OSR wheel bearing, only to be told that the differential was goosed. I can get hold of a second hand diff and I‘m comfortable with replacing this part as I’ve performed many a repair over the time I’ve owned the car. Are there any pitfalls I need to watch out for with buying a second hand part such as this, and would changing this part out be straight forward enough? Any hints and tips would be most... 2012 320d E93 differential issue ..read more

Loved the drive of it on the test drive and looking forward to it. From looking online there’s not many accessories about yet, my usual choice of Gledring rubber mats aren’t available yet which is a downer. I’m not sure what the lead time on the iX1 is but hopefully the accessories start coming before it gets delivered. Has anyone got one and can feedback how they are? Any issues? What range you’re averaging ..read more

I have a 520d F11 M Sport with 18 inch wheels and variable damper control. I really appreciate good ride quality and my car is great for this. I would love to replace it with a 540i or 530d G31 M Sport. Maybe a 2021 or 2022. Ive not driven one yet but every review I see says great car but stiff fidgety ride quality. Adaptive suspension is possible but only with 20 inch wheels and they say this still has a stiff fidgety ride quality. I assume the SE will be softer but these are very rare and...
