Let me rephrase: If anyone with a year model other than cssnms would like to come in with for a test fitment to see if BMW changed anything in between years like they did with the N54 motor, please contact me.

Alex, see if you can get your hands on a MY 2009 (first year the d was introduced in the US), since this was the year BMW also put a different transmission in the car; not suggesting one has anything to do with the other, but it was the most material change between MY's so perhaps they tweaked some other things. I suspect there is no differnce between MY '10 and '11.

[Ron1n]

Mine's a '10, but you are way too far for me to drive out to you.

I plan on getting the JBD box soon. I already have a decent scan tool that will work on CAN systems also. Is the JBD CAN tool necessary if I already have a scan tool.
FYI I have a Autoxray EZ-Scan 6000.

This is gonna be funny but does anybody have an idea where I can get my hands on one of the bolts that hold the engine cover on?? That's what I get for trying to be careful when I put the JBD chip in.. I accidentally dropped one down in the engine compartment and haven't a clue where it went. Maybe I could get an extra one or two in case it happens again. I just don't want future problems if god forbid I have to bring the car to the dealer and they ask why a bolt is missing.. If they even notice..

DieselD:

I lost the bolt that mounts lower than the rest of them. It came out when I was trying to remove the cover. In the future I will remove all bolts before manipulating the cover out. It took 1 1/2 hours to retrieve with a magnet bolt finder (the kind that looks like an antenna). I had checked everywhere and was ready to give up when I heard a faint clink. Removed the tool and there it was.

I found it on top of the lower engine cover in the area hidden below the pulleys. It's probably the lowest point. Check there with a retriever if you have one. Wife gave me this kit from Sears for Xmas in my stocking. I almost returned it. Glad I didn't. As you know, there are many nooks and crannies where this bolt can go. BMW certainly used the entire engine bay.

I live in NYC, i'm less than 90 minutes away from Philly. What does this entail? The test fitment.

I have a 2010, i believe the build date was late 2009.

It would not entail much. Come in in the morning, leave later that afternoon. We have restaurants and shops right near the shop as well as a waiting room with Forza and call of duty. We would be taking your stock intercooler off and lining up one of ours to see what differences and design changes would need to take place in order for us to be able to produce an intercooler specifically for the 535. Please email me: Alex@helix13.com so we can speak more.

In addition to your time and assuming all risk, it will also cost you approx $600 plus install if you decide you want to purchase their IC.

The roads were wet last night so I did not lay into the throttle to much. Right now I have the box @ 85% no codes and Like I said just plain fast. My wife was even blow away at how fast the car is. All and all it was a great bday as I have one more year left in my twenties.

Emoney, any updates 2 years later with JBD? any issues with engine or tranny?

Axel I am starting to think you are in the tank with Renntech they way your promote their product.

[Puerto Rican 335d]

Chris I will be honest with you usually when I do purchase items I swear by them IF they work out!! But if I find a defect I will procede to notify the entity in question and see what we can resolve or whatever BUT!!! if there is no solution or I get tricked Fuck, TRUST ME I will lash out with evidence , READ my execuhitch comments and you will see what I mean on this, to this day NO ONE from EXECUHITCH has contacted me. The last thing I heard from them was OK PLEASE SEND me VIDEOS OR PICs that you took, but no one saying ok Axel were screwed up here is a differential and thank you for bringing this up we the 328i installation was the same as the 335d.

RENNtech has been a great product for me, yes its expensive but WTF I havent had complaints from the product for which I have used over close to 9 years on both my 02 MCS and now my 335d. So gladly I promote it!! Wouldnt you also do this?

The same issue with AMSOIL which I have used to over 25 years in vehicles ranging from 82 VW Rabbit with GTI engine(yes, the GTI came in 83 but with frankenstiened this 4 dr Rabbit and installed a Jetta tranny in it!!) Also a 92 Honda Civic Coupe and 02 MCS and SOON!! the 335d when the 50k are done.
