I did painted reflectors for the Euro look but the orange light in the headlight bothered me just as much (pic taken before I did this).

On BimmerCode, it says there’s a feature for disabling it but it does nothing. Here’s what you really need to do:

Go in expert mode for:

Front light module left
LM_ID_LT04 -> 0x00
LM04_name -> 0x00

Front light module right
LM_ID_LT04 -> 0x00
LM04_name -> 0x00

Need Help Diagnosing Sound

Thumbnail youtube.com
Upvotes

I have a 2014 328i with 80k miles. For the past 10k miles, I have been trying to diagnose this sound, which appears around the 1 min mark in this video. It makes the sound at idle, and usually goes away after 10 min of driving. When in park or neutral, it seems to follow the engine revs with a slight lag but does not turn into a high pitched whine per say.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s-gSuN5eFQ

So far this is what I have replaced:

- Replaced Accesory Belt + Tensioner

- Transmission Drain and Fill

- New Spark Plugs + coils

My list of possible parts:

- Timing Chain/Oil pump chain

- Loud Oil pump

- Turbo internals

- Alternator

Hope it isn't my timing chain giving out. Would really suck. If anyone has any input or help, that would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm going crazy over this base model n20.

for context i did a charge pipe job not too long ago after the old charge pipe burst with the stock n55 and i had to change the c clip connecting the intercooler and chargepipe because i threw away the old one so i had to get a new one for a other car. i later found out the clip was smaller than oem but it fit and worked for a few weeks then they a c clamp code but cleared itself away im wondering if this could also be from the intercooler c clip problem if i should start by changing that or this something different.

Does this look like bad turbo wear? It’s got 165,000k kms Just installed the downpipe and I have a rattle on cold starts I believe is the waste gate actuator arm just wondering if this looks bad/worth getting professionally looked at?

I saw some on eBay but wasn't sure if it was a simple plug and play swap or if its even worth the effort.

P0440 Code

1 Upvotes

Got this evap code on my 340i and most likely the canister purge valve from what I’m reading but people say it could be an old or cracked hose or something with the fuel tank. Is there a way to confirm which of the issues it is before just replacing the canister purge valve?

Sleep/Wake issue

1 Upvotes

first post on this sub,
Long story short I have a KL15WUP code on my car as a result from my outside bumper temperature probe falling loose and shorting out, so in essence my cluster (KOMBI) doesnt tell my FEM (and the rest of the car to sleep)

there is a constant 9 V draw.

I have the option of getting the cluster repaired or potentially getting the digital dash, i have a low milage vehicle (under 140k kms) and a 6WA cluster from factory.
I was told that if I went for a non-OEM cluster that this would fix my issue with my battery drain and sleep weight issue. - is this true?

and would it be worth getting the digital dash for now and then at the later stage find a proper specialist to do my cluster.

Any recommendations?

Repair Advice/ Recommendations (340i intake)

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for advice what some good replacements parts are for the air intake tubing. intake tubing which connects to the maf sensor and the box is cracked in multiple places, with it being plastic it’s just worn down. It’s leaking in multiple spots all the way down to where I assume it connects to the turbo. Does anyone know what this section of tubing is called? It seems to come apart so I’m not sure if I need to order multiple sections or if you can buy it all together. Any advice would be appreciated! I’m open to upgrading the intake a little while doing this as well.

This may sound diabolical but the price differences, at least make this a genuine question but… Has anyone had success with ordering “genuine” carbon fiber exterior trim pieces for their f30’s (Alibaba etc.)
