Most likely the previous owner used bimmerlink or another app to code out a few things. The info memory errors are most likely from low battery voltage and disconnection. I have disconnected my battery multiple times to do work and left the battery disconnected for days/weeks, with/without a...
Curious if anyone has replaced another vendors brace with this one and if there was a noticeable difference between the two. Currently have a VTT brace (I know how some people feel about VTT), trying to decide if I should replace it. I like how this one has the spine (no better word) in the...
You have to trim the strut tower side a little to allow it to clear the AOS.
Don't disagree, it's not their responsibility to ensure their parts fit with someone else's parts, but that's not what I was referring to.
One of my gripes is the rubber ring that always comes off unless you put a zip...
Had to modify the heat shield, size of it is a bit ridiculous.
Honestly, wish I went with a different intake, was an impulse purchase. It looks nice and all, but for the price, HKS could've/should've engineered parts of it better. Granted there's the HKS tax, but still.
Curious as to what you're expecting from a temperature decrease and where/what that decrease will help with. Suspect based on your climate you're looking for an overall engine bay temp decrease.
Thank you for sharing this.
Assuming the pic of the Wagner installed is yours, I'm not seeing marks from filing to clear the cylinder head. Am I correct in saying you're not running a spacer?
Thanks for replying.
I get the heat soak when stationary, but once moving the increase in temp should come down quickly. Yes, aluminum is a great conductor but it's also good at shedding heat in most cases and these manifolds aren't thick blocks.
Yea, the intercooler in the manifold does...
Granted, they're not expensive but some manifolds need slight modifications when using a spacer, which makes me think some vendors didn't design their manifolds to accommodate a spacer. For example, I've only been able to find a single thread where someone (BMW forum) used a spacer with the...
