E90 Squeaking over bumps

Car is squeezing over any bump.

Especially small ones.



I hear 2 squeaks. Front and back.

Took car for alignment and they spayed lithium grease.

After 2 months.... No change.



1 mechanic stated shocks.

How do I test it?

When car is standing still, and you rock the car, no sound.

Shocks sound normal.



Ok, lets assume it is the shocks.



How do I lube them to see if it makes a difference?

Replaced Tires

To those who replaced their run flats with proformace tires. What did you put on and how improved is the car? I've got 27K on the P7's and they are almost bald.

Hi All,

2011 550i exhaust

I bought my car with deleted mufflers. I heard the sound of the meisterchaft exhaust and it sounds as though you can hear the turbos at idle. Is this because the cats from the x pipe and after are gone? I don't get that sound now. Does anyone have a essentially straight piped 550i I can hear? I live in FL so it doesn't really matter about cats

Salt stained on car carpet

Hey guys,while waiting for my car to get back from the shop, i thought i'd get started in finding the best way to get rid of the dried up salt on my car floor. It's pretty thick, it was left over from our crazy winter that never seemed to go away. I was just wondering if you guys knew the best product or trick to get this out instead of sending it to a detailer and getting it cleaned.



Thanks!

Thoughts and opinions after 8 weeks.

I'm now 8 weeks and 2500 :confused0068: miles into ownership of my 2014 335i GT M Sport. I still need to get some pictures posted. Overall I love the car and am very happy with the purchase. So far my complaints are minor, but as follows:



1. City fuel mileage = horrible. It was estimated at 20, and I'm getting about 14 and that is driving it conservatively. I took a 600 mile trip in the car though and was pleased with the 30 +/- mpg I go while on the interstate.



2. The stock brake pads are garbage. The feedback I got from my dealer is that the pads are designed for optimal blah blah blah. I believe it, but they create more brake dust than any vehicle I've ever driven.



3. This one I knew going in, but I wish they would have opted for the smaller parking brake instead of the large handbrake. I would really like to have that space that's wasted by the handbrake so there was more tray space, for items such as cell phone. Having to choose between the tray and cup holder is kind of inconvenient. For the size of the car, the glove box and console are severely lacking in size.



Those are really the only negatives I've come up with so far. Otherwise I love the car and I get lots of comments. It's de-badged as of last night so now the curiosity of people will go unanswered. I've seen 2 GT's in Chicago so far. A white 328 and a black 328, I still haven't seen another 335 and haven't seen an M sport. I've had some car loads of clients lately, and the space has worked really well. I had 6 foot guy who rode in the center between two car seats in the back seat last weekend and he said he was perfectly comfortable and was shocked at the amount of space.



I will get some pictures up soon. I just wanted to put some thoughts out there. I'm curious to see if anyone else has any complaints or disagrees with me.

Need coding in SoCal (FRM2 module for LCI AHL Xenons)

I recently upgraded my AHL pre-LCI xenons to LCI AHL xenons. Also upgraded AHL ballasts, LED turns, main ballasts, etc. I have an 02/2007 which was equipped with FRM1 so I also upgraded to FRM2.



Issues:

Headlights will not aim correctly and are literally aiming/moving all over the place. They seem veryyyy sensitive and like they need to be programed/coded correctly.



I had someone try to code the FRM2 and he was successful entering my VIN and a couple other things however I feel there is more to be done to correct the issues with the Adaptive feature.



Does anyone have experience coding the FRM2 to work with AHL LCI xenons? I am willing to pay for your help. I live in Studio City but willing to drive. Please LMK.

Help with rough running.

A month or so ago I installed an Injen dual intake on my '07 335xi, then followed up a couple of weeks later with VRSF catless DP and the check engine light came on. I also noticed a black soot accumulation on the exhaust pipes. Installed Stage 2 LT aggressive tune this past Saturday and went for a test drive. Check engine light was out and the car ran fine for about 10 miles. On my return the check engine light came back on and car ran very rough especially on acceleration. Thoughts? I am planning to take it to my local wrench to get codes read.

Comfort access; PARTIAL retrofit? possible?

comfort access is great, anyone who has it can vouch for this.

retrofitting comfort access is a massive pain in the backside, also vouch-able



but, why retrofit the entire comfort access system when you can save parts costs + install time by only installing part of it?



basically, only install the modules, two antennas near the DRIVER door, as well as the comfort access handle on only the driver door....



you'd need to get the comfort access keys and program them of course, but this would cut out a large chunk of cost from parts as well as labor cost from a shop or time spent DIY



has anyone tried this? would not having all the components in the system make it confused?




New arrival

Teleservice

Had a fancy brochure through the post yesterday saying I could sign up for a new teleservice for my f30 - basically texts you if the battery gets low and the car books itself in for a service.

Has anyone got this already? (I assume it's on cars leaving the factory now)

Choking at low RPM

Hey guys,



My car has developed a problem and as I had no idea, I thought someone here might have some ideas. At low RPMs, (>2000), the car chokes - as if it's running out of petrol - just for a split second (sometimes repetitively). Even at idle, there are choke-like gaps in the exhaust grumble. I'm thinking its nothing severe, as mostly it runs fine. My thoughts were maybe injects, spark plugs, or fuel pump. Used that fuel injector cleaning liquid when I filled up petrol - no luck.



I have some sound coming out of the hood, almost like a whistle. By the sounds of it, I'm thinking its the dynamo. Probably needs calibration. Could the two problems be connected?



I have to honestly point out that I'm not very good at the mechanics of the car.



Thanks in advance.

DME SIB 13 09 10 - What to expect?

I've spent my time searching but finding old information.



I had my car in for wastegate rattle and they wouldn't replace the turbos under warranty without doing the DME update (SIB 13 09 10). Unfortunately the 'software' has fixed my wastegate issues although I'm not sure how software can fix a mechanical issue and seems to me that it's a temporary fix.



I know several years back it was reported that this update neutered the car

to calm down the wastegates and was also a Band-Aid for the HPFP issues.



Coming from MSD80, what can I expect at this point? Is the latest DME update pretty solid or can I expect my car to be neutered?

AWRON Digital Gauge Teaser for my M235i - Display temps (and more)

While I was at EAS (European Auto Source) the other day getting things coded, Tom and I got to discussing the issue with the M235i and it not having a temperature gauge, which I know has bothered many people here (including myself). Coding wasn't something that could solve that problem, unfortunately, and the debug menu is a pain to get to every time. Luckily, Tom happened to have an awesome digital OLED gauge from a company in Germany named AWRON that basically sits in the center A/C vent (the left one) and can display all sorts of information on the car with a touch of a button on the steering wheel controls. Considering that I plan on doing quite a bit to the car and tracking it, this would be a no brainer for me since I'll be able to monitor temps, boost, etc, while on the track and just daily driving in general. I will be getting mine installed sometime this week, so I'll be sure to post up more about it for anyone interested!

volk ze40 (which are the ideal specs to purchase) will 10.5" et 20 rear fit?

So I have decided to have two sets of wheels.... one set of bbs e88



and I am going to go with the new volk ze40...as is rather common with ray's they do not offer a lot of options with regards to widths/offsets.



here is what is available for 5x120



18x8.5 +50

18x8.5 +30

18x9.5 +50

18x9.5 +40

18x9.5 +20

18x10.5 +20



I was thinking 18x8.5 et 30 front and then 18x10.5 et 20 rear is the rear going to fit is the biggest question? a shop in Japan (as I am getting them direct from Japan it cuts down on cost by almost half) said the rear would not fit and hit the inside of the body.



but using the offset calculator for the rear it will only be 9mm less inner clearance to the strut housing for sure that will be ok wont it? a couple of shops in north america said the distributor (i assume its mackin recommends 10.5 rear for our "M's")



anyone have any thoughts on which to choose?

2006 E90 Junction Box zb File

I'm working on a 2006 E90 (production of 08/2005) sedan and need to reflash the junction box because it is non-responsive. This is one of those "in-between" models, so some of the hardware and software is mixed and matched between E90 and other chasis. I cannot find the zb file anywhere. I have Daten versions 44 and 50, and cannot locate the correct zb in either daten version. The part number printed on the box is 61356982709-01, and I cannot locate the part number anywhere on a google search either...other than ONE used part for sale in the UK. If anyone has this zb file, I would be forever in your debt! Or, if someone could enlighten me on a compatible upgraded file that I could search for in my archive, that would be great!

E90 stock ride height?

I replaced the stock sport suspension on my E90 335i last year with KW v2s (with m3 bits up front). I DIY'ed it and neglected to measure what the stock ride height was. I eyeballed it after install to what I believe the stock ride height to be, but the front end washes out at least as easily as it used to, and going over bumps (with DTC off, since i have an LSD) the rear has some bit of travel which translates to loss of power until the suspension settles.



In short, I don't think things are adjusted to their ideal settings yet. What was/is the stock ride height on your stock 335i w/ sport package?



For street performance and some infrequent track days, what is your height setup?



If you have KW v2s, what is your hard/soft settings all around (in clicks)?



I don't want to have to take it to a speed shop to figure all of this out for me if I can try some things out first so I thought I'd start here. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook at sunset

I was able to capture a cool picture of my m3 today as the sun was setting...







Polished and sealed E90 headlamps today

My 2006 330i was in dire need of some headlamp restoration. This could have easily been skipped if BMW didn't GLUE the stupid lenses on! Anywho, I ordered up some Optimum Opti-Lens Permanent Headlight Coating and today I got to work.



Tools:

Blue painters tape

1000 grit sandpaper

Porter Cable 7424XP

Poorboys SSR 2.5

Poorboys SSR 1

Orange buffing pad

White buffing pad

15% Isopropanol in a spray bottle

Optimum Opti-Lens Permanent Headlight Coating











Procedure:

Mask off the area with blue painters tape

First I cleaned the headlamps off with 15% IPA.

Then I went to town with the 1000 grit sandpaper (wet, of course)

Followed by Poorboys SSR 2.5 on Orange pad

Repeat above as necessary until abrasions are gone.



Final polish with Poorboys SSR 1 on White pad to finish it off.



One last clean with 15% IPA.

Then I applied the Opti-Lens coating somewhat-liberally.

Waited 3-5 minutes to "cure," then wiped off excess with included microfiber towel.



Before:





















After!





















If you really look, you can still see some imperfections. I didn't feel the need to wet-sand the lenses all day so I stopped when I felt like it. Now we shall wait and see how "permanent" this coating is!

Rubbing on Front Fender Liner Help!

Hey guys I have 18x9.5+30 with a 235/40/18 and on a full rotation left or right I am scraping on the front fender liner. It is not a matter of ride height because it did it at stock height before I put my coilovers on. What is everyone running this setup doing to avoid this, any help would be appreciated!

Squeaky M5

Noticed today a loud squeaking noise that increases/decreases with revs. Popped the bonnet and sounds like it is coming from top of engine at the rear. Sounds like a belt? Car has 2.3k miles. Anyone know what it could be or had the same?




E90 LCI build thread - M Performance

Hi all



I've had my 330d LCI M Sport for nearly 2 months now after trading in my 320d M sport which I remapped to 234bhp.















I had a couple of bits I was able to transfer over from my 320d like my M3 spoiler and painted splitters. I didn't waste much time in tinkering...











Then came the debadging...







And the splitters...







After I fitted my 'old' parts, I couldn't resist getting it remapped to 336bhp. I probably don't need to say this thing is rapid, but also very economical still.



The opportunity then came to buy a set of 313 wheels (that needed a serious refurb). My aim was to refurb them as a weekend project and see how I got on. I'm really pleased with the results.











All polished up and ready to fit....







The next step was LED Angel Eye bulbs from Zain @ Horizon. Top service, and a great product.







I managed to find a brand new M Performance bumper on ebay for good price. Had my mate spray it up for me at his bodyshop but had to wait for the grilles to come from Germany through BMW.



In the meantime, I went about spicing the back up with a painted Performance spoiler. I also got carbon splitters for my new bumper.







I wanted a carbon piece in the spoiler to balance it out with the carbon I was going to have on the front so I wrapped the centre section of the spoiler before fitting.











Here are the splitters...











The next stage for me was to tidy my calipers up. I went for yellow with some added detail...























Then the day (or night in my case) came to fit the bumper...











And here we are as it stands today...























































I hope you have enjoyed my journey so far with this fantastic car. The next stage is the interior. I plan to swap my silver trims with a carbon fibre and yellow piping combination.
