That's pretty much bang on - https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-fuel-injector-kit-13538616079kt = $4500 odd NZD

Where did you get your Index 12's from?

Thanks for the advice! There are mixed messages about what sort of battery to stick in. I found this - https://www.autopadre.com/battery-size/bmw-335i which claims that an H6 was the battery it came with. The one I pulled out was an H6 but possible underspec'd at 63AH, 580CCA. I would have thought that AH is roughly how long you can run things and the CCA (Cold crank amps / ability to start the engine) would have been more important? I got the Varta E39 (AGM) which is H6 size but 70AH and 760CCA so an upgrade in terms of CCA (and AH). The previous battery never seemed to have a problem starting the car unless, on the odd occasion (twice?) it was heading towards flat. I measured the voltage on the old battery after having it out of the car for 3-4 days and it was coming up as 12.43v which is about 75% charge so that battery looks like it's fine but perhaps not really big enough. The new battery measures 12.52-12.63v at rest (95% charged) and I'm getting 14.22-14.28v when the Alternator is charging. On the DTC side of things, I find it odd that there are mostly none when the dash cluster is lit up! I would have thought that if a DTC is triggered then it's stored in memory until it's manually cleared? That's certainly the way my VAG car computers operate. Is it different for Bimmers? After driving around this morning and having the intermittent same 4 messages as above I had a couple of instances of the transmission warning light. At one point, the traffic lights went green, I tried to accelerate but pretty sure nothing happened. No rev's going to the engine and no movement / engagement of 1st gear from the car. 5 seconds later it was fine, driving normally. When I got back home I checked the DTC's again and had a long list. The first time I have seen most of these - 2F4E 2F4F (I've had this one several times before, recently and in isolation which is the Right Rear ABS sensor. I've previously had the same symptoms and had the Left Rear ABS sensor replaced so figure it's time to replace the other one now...) CD95 CD98 CD9C CDA1 CDA5 CDA8 CDAD CDB3 Looking at https://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1990156 and https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934018 - Both of these guys, their cars died completely. Thinking about grounding straps and DME relays might be next to check in parallel with sorting out the Rear right ABS sensor.

So I have been getting these ABS and related errors (DBC, FTM, Start assistance) intermittently for the last few days. I have had them in the past, usually on a road trip they will pop up once and hang about until the car is next restarted then disappear and not come back for weeks. They seem to be getting more frequent (or perhaps I'm just driving the car more frequently over summer holidays!?) and as well as these I have a Transmission light that has started showing up now and again. The transmission light is less frequent but more weird and doesn's seem to be related, as in it will show up at different times. I noted today when it was coming on whilst I was stationary with the engine running, the steering wheel seemed to be trying to recalibrate itself, moving small increments left and right but itself (active steering) and the error is mostly showing up when the car is stationary though my wife claimed it hit her whilst she was driving and that the car "shuddered"... Will come back to this one later. With the ABS lights, when I've had them in the past, as I had a mechanical breakdown Insurance policy that came with the car, I took the car to the local garage who diagnosed the problem as a rear wheel speed sensor. Assuming that this is the same cause but simply the other wheel, I've ordered a couple (1 for now and one spare) of BOSCH "0986594572" which are apparently a good fit for OE Part 34526870077 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partsearch?id=UV72-EUR-01-2009-E91N-BMW-335i&mg=&q=34+52+6+870+077. There appear to be broadly 3 classes of these sensors, the cheap-as-chips Chinese ones that can be had for as little as $18 AUD which I gather are to be avoided, the middle of the road ones from Bosch or ATE for about $70-80 each and the OEM ones which seem to run about $200. I've gone for the "one up from the bottom" on the wine list. Anyone have thoughts on the relative merits of each type of ABS sensor? I've also been having electrical issues for some time with my battery progressively dying on me due to all manor of additional electrical crap that has been tacked onto the car (android auto/carplay retrofit, Dash cam hardwired). I purchased a Varta E39 70aH AGM replacement for $500 and fitted and coded this myself yesterday (following the PDF instructions from https://www.e90post.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11379622&postcount=48). I was hoping that this might be the remedy for all of the above and was smugly driving around yesterday thinking exactly that until... all the errors came back today. Corelation is not necessarily causation! I'll have a go at swapping out the ABS sensor when they arrive and report back.

I literally discovered the same one in mine 2 days back and was also wondering...

Insane build. I'm not sure I could get this much work done on mine in 2 lifetimes.

Great thread! Very impressive build! Sorry to resurface your bad memories but I just wanted to say I've had 3 similar experiences recently. One of my cars got hit on the rear drivers quarter a few months back and I booked it in for the panel beaters (3 month wait list... ) Finally got it in there, got the work done under insurance ($400 excess, about $2k worth of work?) and had it parked on the street all of 2 days - Friday to Sunday before some other ass hat hit me in EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE! I won't be getting it fixed again until I have a garage. After this experience I bought a dash cam and hard wired it into my 335i for security duties, sure enough, someone scraped the front drivers quarter a couple of weeks back... I have accumulated quite a bit of damage on this part of the car now (someone also opened like a van door over the top of the quarter/hood causing a massive scratch, clear coat is blistering - black car parked in the direct sun...) so it really needs to get into the panel beaters! I've been through a load of the videos and still not able to locate any solid evidence of when that scratch might have occurred. Again, reluctant to get this one fixed until I have a safe place to park because where I live is clearly a massive liability for these sorts of parked prangs and it seems that no one leaves notes anymore... 🤬

Nice to know about spareto... I wonder what else I can get from them!

https://gensportunited.com/need-colder-spark-plugs/ in case anyone want's to get into the pros and cons.

I just picked up 6 of these - https://jbhauto.co.nz/products/ngk-laser-iridium-iridium-spark-plugs-silzkbr8d8s-97506. Seems like a bargain at $30 vs $87 each at Repco. Too good to be true? Anyone got any experience buying from JBH Auto before? Website seems a little light on details... (P/N = SILZKBR8D8S 97506)

Initially I went for an off to the passenger side of the rear mirror mount and left it over night on a test run but the wide angle of the lens actually picked up some of the mirror mount! So I simply pealed off the weird clear antistatic thing you attach the GPS mount to and whacked it right square in the middle beneath the rear vision mirror. Yes, I routed the cable off to the left and down the A-pillar and then into the fuses behind the glove box. The hardwire kit seems to drain quite a bit of battery even when I leave it in G-Sensor (as opposed to Motion detection) mode so am constantly coming back to the car complaining that the battery is getting near flat. On the plus side the car seems very capable of managing it's own electrics to prevent the battery going totally flat so that hasn't happened to me,... yet. I even suspect (but have not yet proven...) that the GPS Mount that you slip the camera into is draining battery without the camera docked into it so have now started unplugging the USB cable from the mount when not in use to see if that makes a difference. Went for a nice cruise out to Wainui beach yesterday so was thinking the battery would get a good charge. Then pissed about cleaning the upholstery with the radio going and no motor running for an hour or so and proceeded to run it nearly flat again. Oh well - Good excuse to take it for another long drive I guess?!

Necro posting - FCP do the Pierburg and another Aluminium unit (Nissens) as well now - https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-water-pump-replacement-kit-11515a05704kt3

OOo, just found this as well. https://www.gdwv.co.nz/vehicle/2006-BMW-323I/1471
