Hi all, it's been a while but I'm back in a beamer, a mint 2003 E39 530D with 69,000 miles on the clock, just had it mot'd and although it passed i was advised about the front "banana" wishbones Hopefully that makes sense to you guys and if so is there anyone that can recommend where to buy replacements and if it's a relatively easy job to change them Cheers in advance, and will post pics tomorrow when it's light

So i cleaned all of the the intake system over the weekend with no joy, i have taken the spark plugs out and they look like they could do with replacing so i am going to replace them and see if this makes a difference So can anyone advise me on uprated manifold options? Any help greatly appreciated
-
Thanks Dabsy, will try cleaning all the intake system at the weekend, your help is much appreciated, so do you think that uprating the intake manifold is possible then?

Hi all, after selling my E38 7 series 6-7 months ago, i'm back in a beamer an S reg 323i with a 2.5 engine (confused, can anyone explain?) Really pleased with it overall, drives really well and the engine pulls like it should but is a little lumpy/rough on tickover, doesn't stall just hunts a little, from what i've heard it could be the idle control valve but can anyone tell me if it maybe something else? Any help appreciated, cheers in advance Anyway here are a couple of pics

What sort of gains would that give then mate?
-
Well im not looking at spending too much might have a few hundred quid to spend depending on the gains im likely to see

Hi again all, looking to release a couple of extra horses from me S reg 728i and was wondering what you guys and gals would recommend to do so? Any help greatly appreciated Cheers in advance
-
Have to agree with Dabsy, the steptronic for the bigger beamers, but manual for the more "sporty" ones
