Tomorrow im goin to be opening my back box to cut out baffle pipes and reweld some solid ones in, was debaiting weather to get a full system but doin this makes the car sound mental iv had a good look on youtube, any of you'ves had ago?? if it works out all good will reverse the box and have some stainless pipes fabricated!! any one interested?? will get some pics and a vid!! if all goes to plan!!

Cheers boss il have ago!! tried resetting it a few times but keeps comin back!! il get onit tomoz and let you no how i get on!!

Hi all, light has been on since iv owned the car was told loose wire under pas seat, on sat whilst havin a tinker i borrowed mateys diagnostics reader went thru the whole car and come up with drivers tensioner?? zk1 somthing to do with buckle or pretensioner?? anyone had the same code and sorted it? if so what am i lookin for? all wires are clipped in no loose ones, any help would be great cheers

Hi bud best bet its to find yourself a local engineer!! Theyd get the nackard bolt out no problem and while your there get em to tap your new thread will only cost a drink if a good job give him 2! if you cant find no one try a metal works factory and speak to someone there! once sorted why not buy all new jubilee clips for those hoses and find out the torque settings for those bolts that have been taken out? always worth a go if unsure on the head gasket there is a chemical test you can do! good luck

Suit n tie that would be a laugh! could use the kipper for polishing them up, they come up real nice tho must have saved a packet!!

I did try to get em in step by step but was flat out rainin plus front wheels took foreva to get lacker off!! the bigger dishes were mostly done last week i had to finnish with 2000-2500 grit hope you like!!

Rims are done after some hard graft still not 100% due to some deep kerb marks still came up spanking tho!!!! anyone know how i can upload pics off a samsung galaxy?? Cheers!

I got the dremmel with a polishing wheel on the rears today but done more harm than good!! back to the wet n dry, hopfully somwere around my way sells 2500 grit, the 1200 isnt quite enough to get the fine scratches out!! Cant stress how good they come up!! any one else had ago??

Cheers!! lol good job i had it off lol the second rim had to be done on the ground as i didnt have a jack, was hard work but paid off as the finnish came up alot better due to the fact i kept catching my fingers on the valve not good!! still have the fronts to do this weekend will get some before n afters and try to upload results are very impressive mirror finnish like new not sure how long it will last tho??

Hi guys finally got my internet back not been on here for a lil while!, just treated myself to a set of 18"beyern mesh that had milky lacker and savage kerb rash to dishes!! had a lil look on you tube at refurbs and had a lil bash myself!!! mental results!! i jacked the rear end up fired it up in 3rd and cracked on with the wet and dry! 400 grit and worked upto 1200 then meguires metal polish to finnish results were stunning!! If any of you have deep dishes that need doin have ago!! and be carfull not to take your hand off lol

sounds like they forgot to change!! i done my service yesterday and my oil was the same nasty stuff! could be worth checking to see if the other parts were replaced too!! take a spark out or somin mine were evil!!! is the car any differnt as my car is now very quiet and alot more resonsive!!!!

good choice!! brembo are vgood ive had ebc turbo discs n red stuff pads (race rated) n wasnt upto scratch had brake fade plus discs warped!!

ladies n gents!! just popped into asda and see they had a sale on there castrol gtx 4l at £12 so i got me 2 of em, the oil is 5w 30, no info wether its part or fully synthetic just states (5w 30 a1) not sure wether its long life short life, i have a 2001 e46 330ci msport will this oil be ok?? just fort id be safe and pick your brains b4 i blow the bottem end out using wrong oil any help would be great cheers!!!!!!!

id go with that!! only downful is that the bigger the wheels more stress on the diff!! especially if there cheap and nasty rims as they weigh alot go for some nice lightweight rims!!

hi there i had the yellows on my e36 328is there bilstien m3 shocks??? was lowered 20mm but was stiff as hell and rear end was lively!!! if your not keen best bet is ebay youl find plenty at good prices

when you hear about the airbag light everyone refers to the passenger seat, i had my mate pug his kit in and done a reset and kept coming back saying something to do with the seatbelts???? strange! anyone heard of it??

love the clubsport only let down in my eyes is the rear spoiler! they should have a csl type with its own signature?? as for the windows have a look on the ajustment if it had a swich left n right itl be manual fold if it has a button to press theyd be auto

i had the big mayo crap on my e36 328is cap aswel as a small amount on dipstick this was due to short journeys ona daily basis its the hot and cold thing? causing condencation both oil and coolent were fine as soon as i gave it a good run it dissapeerd same goes for my e46 330 it has plenty of mayo on the cap untill i drive for around an hour!! i did panic when i see it on dipstick so i give it the good old in out in out whilst cleanin in between and did all clear up!

got me a new elbow from bmw for £8 bargain thought id be lookin at about £30, all fitted and sorted the kangarooinn out when pullin away, whilst fittin i found oil all down the side mabe old not sure tho mabe a rocker gaskit jobbie?? my mate got me plugged in and came up with a few faults most of em cleared but cam sensor kept comin back after clearing 5 times would this be a cause of power loss?? cheers

yeah cheers have been tryin to find a samco replacement but ebay only has listings for the m3? will give the gaffa a bash and see how i get on thabks again bud!

hi all just been out to fit my simota and what a lovely fit considerin it was for an e36 m3!!! anyway whilst taking the airbox out i noticed i have a split hose! after the maf theres a hose then joiner then hose with a ribbed elbow about 30 to 40 dia, well the elbow itself has split big time! just wondered if this was the cause of some power loss?? i know that the weather and pressure gives cars there good days and bad days mainly turboed motors but some days it feels like a slug!! also whilst decelleratin i can hear a faint noise like some one taking a gasp of air?? any help would be great cheers!!

heAd lights are a 5min job the buggers could have ajusted while doin the test!!! not sure if you can doit yourself as a workshop has the leveling machine that gets them to the right angle of beam?
