Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the advice. Ultimately this ended where I was started but knew I needed to work my way to - the injectors. After replacing the pumps, filter and confirming ECU, etc was good we eventually ended up at the fuel rail. We were getting good pressure to the rail but were not sure ...

Hey All,

Just over 5 years since my last post. Over the last decade my available time with the car dwindled to a drive once or twice a year. I dealt with some personal issues in 2022 which kept the car covered and finally got around to it in late '23 with no luck. I got motivated late last year and ...

Replace the negative battery cable (has a ground strap under the fuse box). Worked wonders for me, and it's cheap and only takes 5 minutes to swap.

I wish someone would chime in and verify they fit the E12 shelf. Not sure why they wouldn't, but who knows.

The polks I have fit without issue. Surprisingly.

One more to show the speaker housings in my car... when I had the interior gutted getting new leather...

This is what I am referring to. Would be a MAJOR upgrade if you could use them. I've got a small Fosgate amp mounted to the rear ...

I wish I could remember. I did some good Polk 4x6s up front and components in the rear. I'm guessing your car has the 4x6s in the rear instead of the bigger premium housings?

The bigger premium housings? You mean aftermarket or can we fit bigger ones in?

99% sure this is what I used for the ...

Check the easy stuff like the thermostat first. I replaced mine as a preventive thing back when I got my current 528i and I had multiple failures with the replacement tstats... should have just left it alone!

I guess that's the quickest way to start, stick it in some hot water and see what happens ...

Alright, I figured out that the answer hinges on the definition of proper. It is certainly very possible to do it by making an incision in the carpet between the firewall and the blower. It comes out easily then and you could install the carpet in a way that no one would ever know that incision had ...

Never heard of those symptoms BUT... take a look at your ground strap on your neg. battery cable. Sometimes cleaning that up will fix weird electrical issues...

Here are some shots of my car from last summer on the ST Springs w/ Bilstein Sports. Pretty much the same now, but I have raised the rear perch all the way so it has a little more rake to it.

M3 wheels. Probably not going to fit right.
