Wait, what? You have a ferrari?

Thanks Dave for that wealth of information, as I always wondered what the differences were amongst the many pzero tyres.

I think you just answered your own question there.

Land sails?

That will make one fine interior.

Its purely a "fashion" thing. Absolutely terrible for driving, and quite possibly dangerous. I dont get it why people do it either............

Have a look at tirerack.com. Usually cheaper to import from them, even after shipping and taxes are added.

I checked the disa on my m54 (120,000kms) and it was fine, but I can see how a faulty one can cause major problems, especially the risk of the metal pin getting sucked into the engine. I checked the disa on my parts car (165,000kms) out of curiosity and it was faulty. You can buy aftermarket metal ones which look way better, and way more reliable. While you are there, you may as well remove the throttle body and the icv that are below it and give them a thorough clean with throttle body cleaner.

Someone on here?

What size are you after?

You could try milland or euroitalian. Alternatively supacheap have a sale on fluids at the moment.

Not of a car but still....... http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/home-audio/amplifiers-tuners/auction-1008203311.htm

You are probably right. I will just replace it anyway.

What scanner do you have? The cheap ones are far from accurate - best to get it scanned on a proper scanner. I presume the shop has a proper scanner and scanned it - what results did they get on their scanner?

How can I tell how old the fuel filter/regulator is on my car? It doesnt have any dates on it but looks reasonably clean. Dont wanna spend $100 on replacing it if it was done in the last 30,000kms.

What year and model was the car that donated the m52? I'm pretty sure the canisters are the same, but don't quote me on that. Yes, my advice is to keep the canister and purge valve setup. Sorry, I dont know about keeping obd2

Your e36 will be Obd2. Most people keep the charcoal canister, otherwise the fuel vent line vents fuel fumes into your engine bay. If you do decide to delete it, use a 1watt, 1k resistor in the end of the wire to stop getting codes.

If you cant post the picture, then type down what they say on here. Alos, have you had a compression test done?

What wheels are those in your pic?

Or fuel tank purge valve, although the purge valve should show up on a scan.

Why pay them more money when they dont know what the problem is? And how do you know its an electrical problem, and not a fuel or vacuum problem?

#facepalm.

The shunt resistor is in the long black plastic box (see pic below) on top of the injectors that houses the coil pack harness. The plastic box just unclips from itself to reveal the wiring and the shunt resistor. The resistor has a small black carbon casing around it that may or may not be intact - they tend to disintegrate over time because of age and the heat of the engine. Break the carbon casing (if any is left) to see if the resistor is still intact. If the resistor is broken just replace or solder it back together. I used heatshrink over the resistor in place of the broken carbon. The morale of the story though, as has been repeated constantly in this thread, is to get it properly scanned by a bmw specialist (like Glenn) who has the proper scanning gear (like Glenn). Otherwise you are throwing money at guesses, which as you have proven is very expensive, time consuming, and frustrating.

On a friends m52b28 we had a misfire we couldn't figure out. After changing all the plugs and coil packs for new ones as prescribed by the mechanic, the problem was still there. We got the car scanned again with a different mechanic, and a different scanner, and got way more accurate results. Turned out that the little shunt resistor in the coil pack harness had become brittle and broken. We just soldered it back together, and problem fixed. Months and nearly $1000 and still not fixed, and then 30mins with a decent scanner and a soldering iron and problem solved.

Rad video. I think one of the first drivers was a chick.
