I heard heads and rods where a problem when going above 200hp, do any of you guys have anything to say/add to this? I want to make sure that when I upgrade mine I don't push it beyond it's limits.

Hello, so I have e53 2002 diesel and I noticed that the engine is quite loud, also when I am driving for a long time especially when going uphill for example in the countryside, after 1.5 hours of driving the oil pressure warning light comes on and it is flickering when pushing the gas pedal...

Hi - I'm interested in purchasing the unicorn 540d (in carbon black, no less). I've been keeping an eye on cars.com, BMW CPO, leasetrader and swapalease. Obviously, very few come available. I'm not sure how many were imported to the states, but it looks like < 200 from what I'm reading? I...

Hi guys, I have a 2012 x5 35d e70 - glow plug code came up and will get that taken care of. Just wanting to get the intake manifold swirl flap delete at the same time while having to remove the intake manifold anyways. 2 questions come to mind prior to removing intake manifold: 1- what is...

Happy New Years! I had to pull the intake on my 2011 335d (110k) to clean up the CBU. I figured that while I have it apart I would pull the injectors and send them out for cleaning and testing. The first 5 injectors lulled me into thinking that getting them out was a breeze.... until injector...

Brand new to this forum. A little background - I've owned exclusively VW TDIs (several 4 cylinder 1.9s manual trans, and 1 V6 3.0 auto) over the last 20 years or so. I've also owned several diesel Sprinters and Ford Powerstrokes at my company. So I'm pretty familiar with diesel engines and their...

I purchased a used 2011 X5 35d last week (private party), I haven't even transferred the title and after only 5 days the yellow (1/2 yellow) engine malfunction light came on. After using my Veepeak OBD with the OBD Fusion app (iOS) I have found the injector on #5 cylinder is...

New to the forum and new to BMW, we recently purchased a 2011 X5 xDrive 35D. Great little SUV/SAV whatever they wanna call it. But I cant leave well enough alone. For some back ground info i have custom tuned our vehicles myself for the past several years and have also ventured into doing...

Hello, Looking for some clarifications if possible. Been reading the forums and I got analysis paralysis. Been having some fun trying to pass smog and I think I'm close however I can't figure out the following: 1) Can my 2012 X5 35d pass smog test with the " PM Filter " still not set...

Hi, wondering if anyone has had an experience like mine: * 2014 F31 328d * @ 70,000, #3 fuel injector malfunctioned and was replaced. Four digit repair cost at the dealer. * Now @ 137,000, and the check engine light is back on. My mechanic indicated that its now time for #s 1 and 4. Talking...

I have a 2014 535d xDrive, 56000 miles. Recently I noticed a slight diesel exhaust smell coming from under the hood of my car. The car seems to run fine despite this. When I pull the sound deadening engine cover off and look at where the injectors are on top of the cylinder head, I notice...

Hi, I have an E91 325d (similar to 330d with smaller turbo to those not familiar with this model). I've noticed that there is some oil leaking from around the bottom of the turbo (I tried to take a picture, but it is difficult to see). According to a mechanic this was due to a seal on the air...
