The m3 also has brand new H&R sways and a strut brace over the front towers.

Ohh and DME shows a ready state :)

The first article i read about the situation said that officers responded to the scene within a few minutes, but after sizing up the situation called for an "armed police unit." Thats why it took over 20 minutes for officers to engage these guys. WTF?! Your police aren't armed? Do they carry airsoft guns? I find it hilarious that i see no mention of that little detail now. Now they say things like this "There were also questions over why it took around 20 minutes for armed police to arrive on the scene, during which time the killers calmly walked up and down the road, carrying their bloodied knives and a pistol, while members of the public confronted them. When police did arrive, both gunmen tried to rush at the police and were shot, reportedly by a female officer." Bitches..

Well I realized I had my dp fix connected to the wrong sensor. I had it connected to the one that failed it was still throwing an ses light. I swapped it to the good sensor and its now reading about .7v at idle. I noticied it will fluctuate around there most of the time but On decel, the value will drop to 0v, especially when coming to a full stop. The value always went to 0v at a full stop. The values were displaying pretty quickly with the other cable I have. I agree an oscilloscope would yield more accurate results. As for the pin out on the DME, it was the same for n54. I verified that with my Bentley manual. So this should also work on the z4s, granted you find the correct pin out for the DME.

As a Muslim myself, we don't consider people like these Muslims. They deserve the death penalty

Thanks for the replies guys. I am pretty sure it is my turbos leaking.

proven power Tampa made it along with everything else. I'm not sure what the exhaust itself cost. they did so much work. give them a call or email they are the jam!

What did you pay to have it made, who made it? PM if you have a minute.

By the way just wanted to thank everyone so far for the help. Really do appreciate it

Nope downpipes were installed a while ago last year Don't trust myself to do stuff like drop the subframe to get access to the DP's for xi but i'll probably have them throw in the rear o2's next time i'm at the shop if at that time we still think that's it. When I get my USB cable today i'll go out and try to do some logs for you guys. One 3rd gear pull hopefully no misfires then i'll do my best to make the car misfire and log as it happens. Maybe i'll try that but i'd still have to pay a shop to do it and sounds like a pain... I'm going to post up logs later today that will hopefully help to better pinpoint where the problem is Yea I have two rear o2's and the only codes i've got is for the rears. But don't the rears just do emissions whereas the fronts are AFR? If so then why would one rear being out make the car misfire?

Hi Guys, good news: ************** ISSUE SOLVED ********************* We ended up pulling the rear axle speed sensors (ABS sensor) on both sides of the car. Instead of removing the sensor near the axle, it's much quicker to unscrew one screw holding the fire wall and then disconnect the wire there. Takes 10 minutes and completely eliminates the ABS brake system. I didn't even have to push the DTC button. I couldn't anyways, because i already had the standard "Flat Tyre check signal missing" failure (the dyno measures the torque on the axle, the wheel has to be removed). So if anyone wants to dyno their BMW on a hun dyno, make sure you pull the sensors. greetings, Jeroen

So HPF went under due to the ost of lawsuit...Sad

I am but I think he changed plans on the hardware. He had a horrible experience with his installer and had to replace his entire motor. Everything left a bad taste in his mouth which is understandable.

When is chucks car ready? are you working with him?

I prefer both. aka home grown. Dig it up, then roll it up ;)

Yes hopefully so! If not he should drop the car off with me for a few days. I'd be happy to push the crap out of the turbos for him. :)

TurboMike's car is at GIAC, sounds like among other setups they're going to tune an aggressive e85+meth map. we should see some nice numbers out of that

+1 to this

my map won't work for you. it's set up to work with cobb, and it's for my vargas turbos. (unless you're running the same setup?)

if any one is on the fence about the Vargas fuel pump/rail upgrade, don't be. from what BoostAddict said (I'm back at work) it was an easy swap and it definitely works ! VargasTurboTech thanks again for the help!

there are a bunch of pics pages back. but to sum it up, the pictures do nothing for it! when you see it in person... wow! single 4" SS exhaust with one vibrant flow thru resonator/muffler. and of course ... open dump from the wastegate.

Did this happen after Down Pipe install? I switched the front O2's once and had similar problems. Took me 15 mins to swap to the right configuration and back in business.

i went up to their shop last week!! :music-rockout: their labor price also isnt bad either, less than the dealer too. bavauto is also pretty close but ive never been up there...cant believe the biggest shops all happen to be close by and not in cali lol

it will be wide spread...there are cars that can dig that have enough trap speed behind them to roll race the best of them. But flip side there are cars that can roll but have no work into their suspension for a hole shot worth a damn. It will just be a measure of who had the most money

I think his reaction towards the situation is more than understandable, and actually courteous. When you pay X amount of money for something that is contracted you're supposed to receive just that. Regardless of whether this customer paid cash or not still doesn't change the fact that BMW has not fulfilled the agreement on their end. They are just trying to get out of doing it all over again. The 8 weeks for the interior is nonsense. I'd be willing to bet if someone from BMW went down to their interior supplier and said this needs to be done in two weeks it can be done (albeit at a price). Mistakes happen, but BMW needs to make this right for the customer. After all, they're already sitting on his money. In the grand scheme of things this won't even affect BMW. I think they have the financial resources to build another one.

Nothing is ever simple when dealing with thousands of cars! But if you are not over boosting down low, etc, then its probably fine. Normally guys who use e90post are the ones that don't know about software updates or how to set things properly. They should really be reading n54tech instead. :)
