Hey Mpulsive My car is an E46. Auto Cheers

If you want to improve the response of the engine remapp the ECU and also gain a bit more power and economy at the same time.

Hi Guys, Just thought i would add my 2 cents worth. I have a 99 328i. The economy i get is a s follows. On a long trip from here (TGA) to wellington with 4 in the car and aboot full of luggage i reset the trip computor at home and achieve an average speed of 100kph, my fuel economy is 7.5l per 100 km. My urban cycle driving normally is 9.9 l per 100 k. I admit that my HP has been increased to about 205 hp but the economy is pretty good for a 2.8.Its cheaper to run than most of the 2.0l jappas.I also know of several 540 owners who have gained another 100km out of a tank of gas by the same method on a long trip. Cheers

All that has been listed is good but what about the stuff a bit to the left of mainstream, Stuff like Shriekback - All lined up , Nemesis Depeche Mode - every thing counts, Photographic Yazoo - dont go , situation Sisters of mercy -This corrosion, Dominion Thomas Dolby - windpower, Blinded with science Eurythmics - paint a rumour , Aqua The Shamen - ebeneezer goode , Move any mountain And thats just a quick browse through one CD rack. Bring back the 80s and Fast E30s

Check the multiplug connector between the door and the body, they get corroded and cause bad connections, also check fuses .

Does anyone know of a DIY hack to put an Aux input into a E46 head unit and use the cd changer also?

Just out of interest what does repco charge for an oil filter?

control unit is playing up .Remove strip down and resolder cracked solder joints then refit.Bobs your uncle and fannys a rude word

For what its worth i have run Hawke pads front and rear with new genuine discs. This stops the best i have ever had and no brake fade after a days testing at Puke. You pay for what you get. Why go cheap on brakes when you nedd to stop in a hurry you want to relay on what you got.

I have put a 318i flywheel onto a 320i motor and it was fine.

Interesting, the more stuff i read the more you get confused. As far as i can see the standard m52 is about 141kw . An m20 325 is 110kw so if i tweek the m52 it must be worth it .

Has anybody done this to an E30 with good results. Would be keen to see some pics and find out pros and cons. Cheers

What year is your 535 as the info i have tells me that you should use Castrol SAF-XO or similar

BMW did not have much room under the bonnet so they came up with the idea of one hydraulic pump to run the power steer < self leveling>and brake boost. The system was refered to as the H31 sytem. The fluid in it was usually a special hydraulic fluid and the sphere was filled with nitrogen to allow you to have boosted brakes if the motor stopped while driving.Unfortunatly many people did not fill the systems with the correct oil and used ATF. This caused the seals to fail and caused many costly repair.It performs the same job as a vacuum booster but takes up less space and could be intergrated with other systems.The system is monitored and has a self check system to let you know when the pressure is faulty.

Superchips load up YOUR ecu file and then modify it . Its not off the shelf .Then It is then refitted to your vehicle and the adaptive nature relearns to how you drive, They can also do all BMW even new ones like the 335 turbo and 745 E65. It also comes with a lifetime warranty.
