How much are you wanting to spend ? I know of a blue 330ci, heated seats and glass sunroof I was going to snap up for my self.

No the penguin pools drift car used a m52tub28. It still runs the same engine but now with a turbo. Superchargers were a consumable item, to the point it was hard to find good ones as spares. It went reasonably well, but its of my opinion the SC14 is just too small for what's expected of it on these engines, so lifespan is greatly shortened. The mounting of the supercharger bracket was a bit flimsy as well, I had concerns about it but it never gave any trouble. The SC14 is bit of a tight bit trying to jam it between the alternator and intake manifold - not that there is much else options, but it makes the inlet manifold to the supercharger and the rest of the plumbing bit of a nightmare.

I don't have my address on my license either. Its when you get pulled up, they ask your address and they check it in their system and it does not match they seem to get upset.

Had that happen heaps with the license having the wrong address associated to it, but mail from LTSA getting sent to correct address. Gave up trying to get it sorted, neither side LTSA ( or whatever ever they have decided to call them selves this month) or cops interested in fixing it.

Diesel 5 series or x5 for sure. E60s are cheap now

Unlucky. I've had a few and they skid hard, rev limiter all day. 😎

Yeah I wouldn't pick that one. How many people actually have issues with timing chains or is it another internet rumor. I've had a few and no issues at all.

Sounds terrible. Is there a cure ?

A highed specced 740 is superior to a 750i imo. The m62 is a much better engine.

Someone online that you don't even know has a cooler and more powerful car than you, does a skid (that you don't agree with). Resorts to personal attacks calling the guy low IQ and a drongo lol.

Bit rich coming from someone who gets excited over a Honda Fit tbh.

Just looks like someone having fun, doing what they enjoy with their car.

Yep that works as well, as long as you don't mind the disabled theft protection, mismatched VIN numbers, and just be aware of different software variants / options, ie some cars having SAP and others not etc.

Take clone of DME and load on to replacement one, then sync EWS and you should be away. Common problem.

Shouldn't be a problem to weld.

Try turn asc off and see if it helps.

At my previous job it was for all jobs, nearby or far. $2 per km, there and back, while charging full workshop rate for time traveled. Why would I drive my vehicle around at a reduced hourly rate (or free as some people would expect), when i can stay in the comfort of the workshop and charge full rate on another job. If there is some other sucker out there willing to drive around for free by all means, call them instead lol! Now I'm somewhere else, and its a set fee for travel around town. Out of town is extra. Most of the time dealing with the general public is such a f**k around i understand why a lot of people don't bother. I do a bit of work on the side for people, and I turn people away all the time because the hassle just isn't worth it, I don't even bother doing jobs for people unless I know them any more.

I'll charge both thanks. It costs to run my vehicle x amount per km. And it costs for my time. Otherwise I'm better off to do jobs close by / at the workshop and actually get paid for my time rather than drive around for free.

Remove valve cover and check chain is intact, camshaft timing is correct and check for broken rockers. Or even a broken camshaft. Assuming you checked compresion with throttle wide open? If no compression i wouldn't even bother with the timing light at this point but would be removing the valve cover.

How did you check for fuel? It may not be enough if pump is failing. Fuel, air, spark and compression is all that's needed. As long as valve timing and spark timing are correct. 120 psi seems low, but should at least run at that. Have come across failing crank sensors that were still operational but all over the place, causing ignition timing to all over the place. Timing light would confirm that though.

Can you put a timing light on it and confirm timing is correct? Check compression if you have access to a tester. Remove oil cap and see if valve train is rotating in case it dropped the cam chain.

TPS won't stop it from running. Seems like a coincidence. As Glenn said check distributor.

If you're looking to remove it, let me know. I have a couple of uses for such a thing.

Supposedly depending on your obc can program them to come on at a certain time each day (if outside temp drops below threshold) and run the heater fan so car is nice and warm before you leave for work. Yeah mine works occasionally, has an intermittent glow plug fault. Think its a dodgy control board.

Does yours have the auxiliary / supplementary diesel burner for heating the coolant? It's behind the left front wheel plastic guard liner usually.
