m52b28 seimans ecu's can be reflashed , or you have to desolder the main (postage stamp type surface mount) chip and fit a plug in type if you want to do a live rolling round remap etc. i will be doing mine at some stage soon. costs about an extra $100-200 to get the plug type chip fitted to the circuit board the m50b25tu is a it bit easier as the bosch motronic ecu's have a plug in chip to start with. my mate has a e34 525ix touring and we fitted a m52b28 engine into it and it runs perfectly fine on the std 2.5L bosch ecu setup , no issues at all , proforms quite a bit better than the std 525i engine setup so not sure why you are having issues , best to get it checked out make sure you have all the correct parts fitted fro the bosch motronic setup and no vac leaks and every sensor is working correctly etc maybe the 525ix touring would go a bit better if he got it remapped but we where pretty impressed with the proformance power and torque upgrade on the the standard 2.5L ecu setup

stu's trim in manakau . otherwise i have some used ones you could just swap it out with coupe? sedan? sunroof or not??

most likly not , is the key shaft silver(chrome) then no . if its a gold colour then yes. most cars i see with ews are 96 onwards and some 95's etc

should have some. 021433600

couple of videos from the bmw club track day in taupo in may first time in a while for my car on the track with all the mods and tunning done etc was handy being able to rev to 7000rpm , also decent torque out of the corners preformed quite well. also marty was there with his turbo e28 , but my camera battery went flat so missed filming him from behind was spitting flames at me etc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5_xH5xWvPw...;feature=relmfu another video from my freinds smart phone in HD and turn up the volume e30 m3 ,e30 325is ,2002 , turbo e28 , e28 m5 etc

if its running crappy , first check if everything is hooked up correctly temp sensors the correct way around etc vac leak , vac leak , vac leaks etc etc. bad pcv valve . bad maf (afm) (or dirty sensor from the oil on k&n filters) faulty camshaft sensor etc

as above dont bother with moding the engine. mayeb a manual kit and some suspension and brakes etc or just the a m52b28 and 5spd in out of a 328i or even a 325i m50b25

marty has a trans maybe he can swap bits over http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-465953806.htm or do this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-455466847.htm

build one of these or just buy this one 4.4L is the way to go or lot more torque and power than the 4L when they are unrestricted. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....=29108&st=0

well done now you have the ultimate unbreakable cup holder cheers good work

no i mean camshaft sensor

sensor wire insulatin breaks up , wires short together and dont always show a fault as its not a open circuit fault. unplug it and check the wires behind the rubber boot at the plug end

like glenn said get it scanned to be sure. cam sensors fail often on these and make it hard to start , also sometimes intermitant fuel pump

bumpers will fit from sedan , coupe etc. rears seats are completly different in teh touring. door mirrors from sedan and compacts will fit (not coupe) front door rubbers same as sedan , door moldings from sedan will fit. suspension from coupe sedan etc will work fine

another video from my freinds smart phone in HD and turn up the volume e30 m3 ,e30 325is ,2002 , turbo e28 , e28 m5 etc

also drivehshaft lengths vary if its from a small or medium case diff . if from a small case diff car like a 316i 318i 320i and fitting to a car with a medium case diff like a 323i 325i and some 320i the driveshaft will need to be shorter . or kit from a 4cyl fitting to a 6cyl will need to be shortend too

sound like headgasket , engine gases are blowing into the coolant system and pressurising the coolant system . if you start it up when cold fill the coolant up run the engine with the rad cap off and if you have bubbles coming up and more so when you rev it up. there's your problem but pay to get it checked properly with TK test and compression test etc there will be a reason why its gone , maybe faulty thermostat , water pump , radiator ,bottle or hoses leaking , faulty viscous fan , or maybe just old gasket with corrsion , is it full of rusty water???

hi peter . just got a set of 18" ones same version same as , pity they are not 17" thanks brent

yes too bad , havn't even groomed it yet , has been pretty well looked after . engine and trans are excellent , pulls like a train managed 8L per 100km coming back from rotorua the other week.

BUMP!!! has any one got anything . mainly looking for tyres 225/60-15 or 215 or even 205/65 15" this is the car they are for . will be for sale as soon as i get some tyres on it for the wof

no

i use this guy Auto Plastic & Fibreglass Repairs Contact: 09-298 3346 17B Ingram St Papakura Auckland 2110 would be about $80??? i guess

bump http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-463528793.htm

have a good used one if needed. e38 ones arn't cheap some have heater wires down the bottom to heat the wiper blades etc etc etc
