Wow they changed the layout and how to configure the kit. Kinda nice.Quote:

One of the reasons I ended up ordering from Tischer as they made the basic kit just the most failure prone parts, leaving the radiator and other items optional.Quote:

Thanks for this. Given the proximity of the airbox it's impossible to imagine any other way, now that I dig into it. The best DIY I've found for later cars is at http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=639475. And note what you have to get into if you have headlight washers. This is the second consecutive "basic" component I've purchased from Bimmian that hasn't turned out to be basic in the least. (The first was completely uninstallable and they retroactively declared it 'quarantined'). Sorry: venting. I will move this conversation to Lighting if things get more complicated. Again: thank you.Quote:

The intake has to come out for access on the driver's side. On the passenger side, you'll run into the washer tank being in the way.
For the washers, personally I deleted them with a washer tank that doesn't have a pump for the headlight washers, so it's super easy for me. For you, all of your fluid will leak out when you remove your headlight washer nozzles, so be prepared to either suck out all the fluid ahead of time or to refill it with a new bottle when you're done.
Getting to the bulbs are the reason why I recommend removing the headlight. The actual bulb swap is super easy, it's just getting to it that's the time consuming part.
PA Soft question: How do you clear a Service Engine Soon (SES) light? I was fiddling around with my sister's new (to her) car using PA Soft to reprogram the odometer from kilometers to miles, and then the SES light came on and has stayed on. I only programmed basic stuff in the IKE and ZKE. Would "Clear DTC" do it?
There are two errors I did find that might have triggered it unrelated to using PA Soft, a fault with an O2 sensor, and a misfire in cylinder 5. Both were marked but not currently present.
Yes clear dtc or if you go into the modules themselves you can clear each module individually.
Great, thanks!Quote:

about 50% of the time, when i turn it on it will set the temp at 26 or 27ºC - even if i had it at 21ºC (roughly 70ºF) the last time i used it.
not a major deal, but strange.
Mine stays the same.

Mines never changed.
Warning signs of electrical problems?
Mine has never changed unless I've done it myself.
Mine stays the same, although now when I run the defroster, my radio goes static...
I had a subaru that was flooded out and it did this :/
Could be a loose connection at the antenna. It's under one of the C pillars in the back. I can't remember which side.Quote:

Another larger random question. Well two rather. I bought an automotive stethoscope to hunt down my vacuum leak. It is def coming from below the intake manifold.
How hard is it to remove the intake manifold?
Do i need to replace the intake manifold gasket if I pull it off?
I have my GFs car for the week, so I want to pull the intake manifold to get a closer look underneath and get the right vacuum parts.
I think you answered your own question. The manifold rarely comes off, so now's the time to do it.Quote:

What are these hoses for? Looks like it connects to the radiator and goes behind the engine on the exhaust side.

AC? Not sure. Normally metal fittings means AC I thought
Definitely AC. Note the star-shaped black cover on one side.
I will be proven wrong...
yep! AC
So, when you remove an intake manifold from the engine block, you should not see oil all around the gaskets, correct?
My turn signals and steering wheel buttons (cruise control works) aren't working!
Anyone?Quote:

That's odd. have you popped off the airbag to look around inside to see if there's a loose wire or something in there?Quote:

As regards installing replacement high-beams on a Xenon-equipped coupe (with headlight washers):Just bumping the question...Quote:

You have BMW assist. It's part of that feature
Thank you!
I have about 115k miles on my Zhp, is this the right time to replace the radiator? Or am I already on borrowed time?
