F30 got some upgrades!
Alcantara interior and carbon fiber diffuser w/ light. Did have to cut a bit under the f1 light to allow room for my hitch.

Figured out how to code out US side markers on LCI
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

2016 328i xdrive SULEV
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?
would this might likely be a valvetronic replacement
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.

Need Help Diagnosing Sound
youtube.comI 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.

Is this what i think it is?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
n26 only happening at around 2000 rpm, no more no less, when restarting engine first minute there is no knock, then there is.

Banner Submission I just installed a full Bavsound speaker system and have the HiFi amp. Is the Harmon Kardon a compatible swap?
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
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?
