This is the location of the above "F" fitting - and is PC 6 in the Realoem drawing (Note it looks nothing like what's installed in your car)

Wow. That's cool Dane. Now I know what I'm actually looking for ie: DISA valve and auto leveling sensor.

Thanks! :)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

This has the potential of being a monster thread. Woot woot.

[pyreguy]

Very badass Dane

[danewilson77]

Thanks fella's.

There was a guy over at Bf.c complaining that his oil filler cap was leaking....and he said he didn't know what it was for, but it said ATF on it.....so I made the first engine compartment drawing for him...then decided maybe I would just post up some random cool pics, that I have snapped, to kinda familiarize the novice....

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Bump for the new members.

[GMATT]

Great Info........THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might have some pics of the 2dr headlamps for you, not sure if already online or just on my comp at home. Will get back to you

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

does this apply to just the car or all things in general cuz I've always wanted to see a blue duck

[Hornung418]

Bump! Something of note, the F-Connector found on the upper intake boot provides vacuum for the Brake Booster and the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) not the Fuel Pump.

Related, I broke my old upper intake connecter and could not get the Brake Booster line back on securely, so it's crudely assembled with Duct Tape and praying I don't have any lean codes in the coming days. I would like to see some pictures of the ZHP DME/Brake booster area. Need to figure out what part to order to replace the broken hose. Do not want to spend $80 at the dealer for a whole new "Sucking Jet Pump" unit especially if it won't fit the car. Thoughts and tips appreciated!

[Hermes]

you're lucky that working on the 320 means I'm still awake. Here you go:

I couldn't really get to where that hose from the F connects with the camera

[Hornung418]

Yeah that was not what I expected. On my 328, the Suction Jet Pump is right next to the brake booster and the line from the top of the F-connector Runs directly into the Booster area.

Thank you for taking the pictures, JP!

[danewilson77]

Bump.

I would like to add the under engine splash shield to the original post.

We found it here once, but I can't find the P/N to the cheaper piece.

Using my VIN, I find the one listed below (Which consequently doesn't even look correct) which is some $285!!!

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=EV53&mospid=47725&btnr=51_3274&hg=51&fg=70

Like I said....I know we've been through this before.

I seem to remember using a different P/N which yielded one that was around $80?

OK. Here it is. $100. What is that other panel? I wonder how many guys have spent > $300 on that thing?

[danewilson77]

Added to initial post.

Thanks for listening guys :shifty

[Avetiso]

Is that from an e39?

[danewilson77]

Which? The flat one? That is what actually comes up from my VIN.

[alexandre]

Isn't the expensive one the big ass metal one that is under the rear main seal, behind steering components, and is attached with 8 (?) 16mm bolts, while the cheap one is the plastic shield that protects under the pullies, etc more towards the front, in front of steering components ?

[danewilson77]

No.

That's the subframe brace.

[alexandre]

Gotcha. The expensive part is mysterious!

[Avetiso]

The outline on the diagram looks like an e39. The flat one.
