Hi 

I have a bmw 320d 2002 engine was done recently  but the grey smoke still coming also rattling when idling.

What could be the problem  and how to fix it. The turbo was changed as well

Rattling could be the timing chain or incorrectly set valve clearances. Either the engine has been rebuilt badly, or it hasn't been rebuilt at all. I'd find a BMW specialist who could give the car a once over. You don't have to have them fix whatever is wrong. You can choose where you go.

ANY smoke from tail pipe is an automatic MOT failure.

Welcome to the Forum Thabani

With Richard here, if the engine has been "done" recently whoever did it should be sorting it as it doesn't sound as though they have done it properly

      Hi Richard. welcome to the forum. as greydog said, it depends on what you are trying to achieve. my old company motto was ‘nothing is impossible, it just costs a lot more’ a remap and air filter/ exhaust will show a little gain, a low pressure turbo unit will show a fair gain. … a full engine swap will be big gains… but then it’s big brakes and chassis mods too. give us an idea of budget and dreams are and we can go from there! 😜

      4 Series Convertible - water collection in sills issue !

      I own 2018 BMW Series 4 convertible. I noticed water sloshing around in the rear panel of my two door car. We took it to the local dealership who confirmed that a vast amount of water had collected in the rear panel rendering the roof and window inoperable. We can see others who have experienced the same issues and wondered if they have had any success in getting BMW to acknowledge this as a design fault and pay any compensation. The cost to us for rectification which included new drainage system was £1000. We have tried all avenues to further our claim and met with a dead end.

      Hi Richard Welcome to the Forum With normally aspirated engines an ECU tune will not give huge power gains from what I have read your 2.5i will be around 180/190hp stock a good ECU tune should see 215/220hp First google ECU tuners in your area and talk to a few see what they think outside that it is conventional tuning Headwork, injectors, Throttle body, exhaust, inlet etc a friend of one of our sons built a 1 series Drift car 2.5i based had around 350hp when he finished I guess it's the Carol Shelby question, Speed cost money young man how fast can you afford to go 🤣 Enjoy your Beemer Dave

      Breaking Complete 320D 08 reg

      I drive a 2008 320D touring and have a similar car which I am breaking for spares. Most parts now removed and available but shell with V5 also available. Shell still has most of the engine, 6 speed gearbox, rear axle, windscreen and dashboard still fitted. Please let me know if you are interested in anything.
