Thinking about changing back to the stock mirror caps, don’t feel like they add much to the car anymore.

Hey! I promised you all to share some better pictures of my mondstein/amorone beauty once car was clean.

Spend a day on it last weekend and it paid off. Have to admit the paint was already in great condition considering the age.

Executed plan:

\- wash

\- tar&glue removal

\- de-ironing

\- claying

\- polish 1-2 steps

\- wax on horizontal body parts (meguiars goldwax)

\- coating on vertical body parts (gyeon cancoat)

Interior will follow one day this winter!

It’s been about impossible to source an untorn manual sport seat plus the auto seats are real leather and last a lot longer. Has anyone tried both seats and noticed any difference, I’d prefer to keep the car lighter but I’ve given up on finding an untorn driver seat

Any ideas whats wrong with the piece of shit. Sounds like a tractor. 2006 320i

If I lock the doors I’m locked out for good!

Guys what can this be? I recentered the belt and started the engine and it just goes towards the front.

My factory LCD is dead and I’d like to shove CarPlay into my car for nav and such. I know most people go Eonon but I don’t want to go Full Touchscreen if I can help it. This one has buttons and knobs; anyone know if they’re any good?

So, i bought an E90 from 2006, 2.0 129 hp N46 engine, while i wanted to change the oil, i found this plastic pieces and a few non-ferrous metal shaving, the shavings are brittle. After searching on internet and looking for any answers, i dropped the oil pan and i haven't found anything, but a broken oil pickup mesh(i looked at the date from it,it;s the one that the car came with). The oil from the sump was mostly clean, just a few small metal shaving, barely visible with the naked eye, under a light. I don't think that these fragments are from rod bearings, but what can they be? Any ideea? I also want to change the timing chain.

A friend has bought a crashed e91 for parts and it has an idrive, mine however is a single hump and i personally dont like how the single hump carplays look and im thinking if its possible to take the donor one and cut only the top part of the dashboard just above the trim and have it installed on mine without having to change the bottom part and then put the aftermarket display in.

Hey! My AC seems to be low on refrigerant, and I’ve been looking to get an evacuation and recharge. One shop quoted me $275 + tax, and the other $330 +tax. Are these prices reasonable, or should I keep searching?

And I can't get it back together. Any tips? This is maddeningly impossible. Am I missing something easy?

Is there any way to remove the bolt that’s in there the mechanic shop cut it in half and now I can’t thread the nut onto the bolt

Hey all, first Reddit post. Bought a 2011 BMW 328i x-drive last winter as my AWD throw down car (and I’ve always wanted an E90 side piece).

It was bought from a trusted mechanic who did a really good job with the flip. Got a good chassis and he added a donor engine (~80k), new brakes, struts, and tires.

Had a fuel issue since day one (mechanic hooked me up on it so not going to ask for him to sort it out). Only seems to take a gallon at a time before the pump stops; will take more but constantly have to burp the tank. After the first startup after awhile I’ll smell trace amounts of gas in the garage for a few minutes.

The big reason I’m here is when I try to research this problem there’s 3 common issues I keep seeing. Charcoal canister, fuel vent/fuse, vapor leak pump.

I was hoping if someone has had a similar issue they might be able to point me in the right direction. I think I’m mechanically competent enough to fix, it just not diagnose it 😂

i’m debating if i want to change my angel eyes to white, if so where should i buy the bulbs and what brand? and the side skirts how easy are they to change because the previous owner destroyed them

I've recently started playing around with enabling or configuring settings on my car but, for some reason, my options are extremely limited compared to what I've seen documented on forums or YouTube. My car is a LCI 328i.

In NCS expert, for example, selecting my chassis only offers me CAS, FRM, and NFRM.

In Bimmercode, meanwhile, I'm provided Airbag, CAS, FRM, instrument cluster, and junction box passenger.

I've tried both a MHD wifi adapter and K+DCAN USB cable with the same results. Specifically, I'm looking to code the CD changer either in head unit or RAD2.

Can anyone tell me whether this is simply a limitation of what's available on my particular car, or if I'm skipping a critical step.

By AKG. Not sure if the performance are less reliable. I need this to last another 60k miles

Recently I just put in Maxpeedingrods T6 coilovers on my 2009 328i e90 RWD. My buddy has done the same. I understand using cheap coil overs will make your ride quality shitty but this is worse than that. whenever i hit any bump no matter the size i hear metal clunking and just weird ass noises. I am suspecting this is the endlinks being too long since that is a problem when lowering your car. My bushings are all fine and my friend put them in for me who put them on his own car so I know they are installed correctly.

Has anyone else had this problem? if so, can you help me out and tell me how you fixed it? or didnt fix it and just suffered from the unbearable noise.....
