No, many older BMW motors suffered from issues with plastics. One of the most common was the charge pipes popping. However, most were not related to outright power, things such as cooling hoses were just multiple heat cycles.
It is a ZF8HP50. From what I can tell it is a stock block. He mentioned development of forged internals awhile back but I don’t think it has happened yet.
Well, my issue is that the MkIV is limited. They aren't making more anytime soon. I feel bad when people really ruin these cars doing stupid mods and even stupider driving. Blowing eardrums with two-step and throwing it on bags kind of defeats the legacy of the car. I think a showroom fresh car...
I never claimed 1000hp anything. Matter of fact, I don’t think a B58 will hit that number for a long while, and it definitely won’t have a stock bottom end. I am simply saying that the provisions to make more power do exist.
JB4 controls port injection, already proven to do so since the N54. Intake spacer with 6 injectors to run port injection, also proven. A LPFP upgrade is easily adaptable from other cars.
So there is conflicting information with that actually.
I think the fuel pressure cap you are referring to is the IPW cap, injector pulse width, which is essentially just limiting the maximum amount of fuel that the ECU will allow the injectors to cycle.
On the contrary, Mission Performance...
Hello fellow forum-goers,
I have some good news from the land of blown turbos solenoids, dead water pumps, snapped crank hubs, and failing high pressure fuel pumps!
Recently, the B58 DME (Digital Motor Electronics/ECU/Computer that controls the motor and has encryption) has finally had a large...
It's also terribly expensive, the interior isn't great, and I personally do not like the way it drives much. The only big positives it has in my book are the looks and sound.
Really appreciate being called stupid. Anyways, a 10k depreciation hit for 25k miles is not very much depreciation, especially when it comes to the type of car.
I am not saying it is forever limited in any way shape or form. All I am saying is there is likely enough early demand to outstrip...
The thing is you can't just order phantom matte gray. It
Correct. You have to be extremely careful even wiping the car down after washing. I also believe you can't do paint correction very easily.
