Applied this to the headlights after restoring them:

Seems like a quality product, supposed to last for a year.

Well, spoke too soon, the new speed sensor died already. On further examination the reluctor ring is lifting up from rust on the CV joint underneath and causing an out of round high spot rubbing thru the sensor. I put some chalk paint the old sensor and pushed it in slowly while turning the axle, marked out a good long run of teeth that are scraping the bottom of the sensor. I tried one washer under the mount screw, still rubbing so went with 2 washers, barely a slight touch of the sensor so crossed my fingers the pickup would still work. I took it for a couple mile test, working for now but the obvious long term solution is new axles with new ABS rings.

Side note: I also have a 330i, I expected to find all the same parts here in the rear of the 325. I knew the brake disks and calipers were smaller, but I didn't realize the axles, rear knuckle, wheel bearings and abs sensor/ring are also different. On the 330i the tone ring is built into the wheel bearing race rather than the toothed CV joint wheel on the 325i (and I believe 328i).

can anyone help me out. I got no vacuum leaks or anything. I got this bov and it stays open at steady idle and then it closes real quick then opens and let's the pressure out when I release the gas pedal. I've been reading a lot people are saying it's supposed to be closed at idle and some say it can be open but idk. it came with this extra spring that's a little bit thicker should I put this one in?

and I also am running my silicone vacuum line from my manifold to the bov, could that cause a problem getting air through since it's not the bigger vacuum hose that was supposed to come with the kit (mines didn't come with one).

Replacing the weak stock control arms with these performance non grease needed thrust arms

[Twix]

Got one! $150 CAD, or about $3. Included a free milkshake lol

Ordering new valves and seals. What else should I do while the intake is off?

[fazm]

Picked up + installed my custom plates.

My m3 control arms have been one of my favorite mods to date

Depending on how preemptive you want to be a starter motor adds like 5 minutes to this manifold job, alternately a starter motor job includes the several hour manifold removal.

This will be the best mod you ever did, it was for me anyway.

Clean it thoroughly. I've seen some weird shit inside junkyard intakes, tools, leaves, balls of grease, disa valve shafts. Don't want any of that garbage going into the engine.

Got the dreaded 3 DSC/ABS lights on the dash, so read the error codes and I'm trying to work out my plan of attack! Look out of the post later where I'm sat having to ask for help 😂😂

Codes?

It's 5DF0 and 5DF1 (DSC hydraulic pump, and pump connector respectively). Looks like it'll be a nightmare to swap out, and the units (even refurbished) are expensive.

And I know - will if so post in correct section of this forum…

BTW if you do N54 intake, rather than buying new cover - pretty easy cut w Dremel to clear intake runners etc. I would recommend tuning if you swap but increased both Torque and Power on mine over the 3 stage and with proper tuning should do the same on NA the shop told me after several N54 NA intake swaps, especially from single stage one. Time to enjoy!

Did my headlight wiring with brush on electrical insulation but wasn't satisfied with the results.. so I went ahead and took out the connector and put heat shrink on every cable pin by pin as far as I could go without removing the headlight. Now having constant short circuit codes for the two sides adaptive headlight motors

[F30lolz]

Ordered an oil change kit from FCP. Side note, ordered a MAF sensor for the f36.

[CTinline-six]

Installed a P3 gauge. In the 328i it can show coolant temp, oil temp, battery voltage, EGT's, 0-60 time, as well as scan for codes.

[Chapperss]

So it took a while but I just finished FBO and an Oil pan job

Props, that must've not been fun to do in the driveway on stands. I remember working on cars in my parents' gravel driveway, never again.

Cheers bro - tied for the hardest job i've done on the drive - the Clio gearbox change is the other contender...

OPG and FMIC easy - those damn dp`s.......... I`ve got to drop the frame again as after 4 hours of trying to get the clamps to engage I just tightened them up and now they rub on cold starts and left hand turns (RHD Car).

In case anyone doing the job read this - the dp to turbo bit on my new dp`s was a bit thicker so I had to widen the girth of the clamps a bit. Just used some pliers.

What`s the hardest job you did on the drive dude?

I've worked on a lot of stuff on gravel. I worked on a farm while I was in high school. Oil pan gasket on a Jeep I had probably takes the cake. Just a messy job and laying in the gravel sucked.
