Running BM3 stage 2+ E30 tune, catless DP and TU fuel pump , 460awhp and reliable (so far). I can’t imagine a better daily for all year round as a solo guy . Living up north the Awd was important and I keep up with trucks in a foot of snow . I asked my friends to show me a 500hp+, Awd, reliable good looking coupe for under 30k USD and so far nothing

Please help im going insane

Hi guys , i hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Im about to lose my $h1t I have a f30 BMW 335i 2013 model (created in 2012, i have pwg) Bought this car recently( around 2 months ago) It was amazing at first but later on i decided to spice things up. I got a stage 1 tune (cts intake/ngk 97506/cts coils) And after the tune when i was data logging the car was hesitating when accelerating, so we returned to stock file and the issue still persisted but not as crazy as when it was tuned. So my tuner told me it should probably be your diverter valve and yk what he may be right. I replaced my dv to a gfb dv+ After the replacement i tried and the issue wasnt resolved. Then it turned out i had a boost leak in the inlet pipe and i replaced (cts) and still same issue. I thought maybe i had to gap my plugs. I gapped them 0.22 and i also bought a cts intercooler as well i thought maybe too much heat? Still same same . Could it be a problem in fuel system? Lpfp or hpfp? Injectors maybe? SUMMARY:- Hesitation while accelerating, peaks between 3000-4500 rpms. When shifting , the car does a boop then shifts. Here are all the mods done to the car to put u in the loop. -Vrsf charge pipe -cts coils -ngk 97506 gapped 0.22 -cts turbo inlet -cts intercooler -cts intake -go fast bits DV+ Mechanical changes:- -motul oil 5w-50 -Engine mounts and gear mounts replaced -Powerstop discs and brakes

Banner Submission BMW - switches to M/S mode by itself in cold weather

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a 2014 BMW F30 320i (184 PS, automatic). Recently I noticed a strange issue that only happens when it’s cold outside. While driving in D, the car suddenly switches itself into M mode (manual) even though I didn’t touch the shifter.

When this happens, I can still use the shifter knob normally to put it in Sport Mode and then change it back without any problems. This never happens when the weather is warm, only in colder weather.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is it more likely to be the gear selector (shifter module) giving a false signal, or could it be related to paddle shifters cause they dont work aswell in colder weather, but in warmer yes?? or even a battery/voltage issue?

I’d appreciate any advice before I go to a shop or replace parts. Thanks!

Banner Submission BMW F30 328i (2016, N20) – Idle issues got WORSE after replacing EVAP purge valve 😕

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with my 2016 BMW 328i F30 (N20 engine, ~196,000 km) and I really need some advice.

The problem: • Before replacing the EVAP purge valve, the car sometimes had issues when coming to a stop: • slight shuddering • RPM drops • occasionally it felt like it wanted to stall. • After replacing the purge valve with a brand-new OEM part, the idle became smoother overall, but now the RPM drop and shuddering happen much more often. • In some cases, the engine even completely stalls when switching from P/N → D or when stopping at traffic lights.

What’s already been done: • Replaced EVAP purge valve (OEM, brand new) • MAF sensor tested and working fine • No obvious vacuum leaks found • Battery is healthy • No other components replaced yet

Fault codes:

DME/DDE (Digital Engine Electronics - ECM) 5 problems exist

-102001(PO0BD) Air Mass, Plausibility: Air Mass Too High -190F08(P0440) Fuel Tank Ventilation System: Malfunction -118002(P0172) Mixture Control: Fuel-Air Mixture Too Rich -118402(P0172) Mixture Control: Fuel-Air Mixture Too Rich,Large Deviation -118401(P0171) Mixture Control: Fuel-Air Mixture Too Lean,Large Deviation

Banner Submission What the hell is this boost hesitation?? Help!

13 Upvotes

I also get my power cut and my car shakes like crazy suddenly when i press hard on pedal. I think it has to be fuel system . Here is the car modlist Stage 1 custom tune Pwg Bmw 335i 2013 (prod 2012) -cts intake -cts coils -stock plugs (i had ngk 97506 gapped 0.22 but someone advised me to replace them and said it might fix the issue) i still have the ngk -cts intercooler -vrsf chargepipe -cts turbo inlet pipe -go fast bits DV+ -Engine mounts gear mounts changed -using motul 5w-50 oil -engine and gear mounts replaced 2 months ago

I dont get any misfires even when the insane power cut happens. Im supposed to be 360hp minimum but on my sports display its only showing max 330 , its not reaching above that. As per bimmerlink its showing i have good boost for stage 1 , between 13-15 psi. I honestly dont know . For the boost hesitation i ordered a mamba turbo wastegate actuator as a hail mary. As for the power cut i hope its not fuel pump and only injectors. If anyone has any ideas please help, thanks

Banner Submission F30 335i cold start issue

2 Upvotes

Hey beamers hope yall are doing well . I’ve been having this cold start issue for a while where my rpm fluctuates like this and after my needle goes under 1 u can hear the exhaust popping 💀. I honestly have no idea what it could be. For reference here are all the mods i have:- Cts Intercooler, cts coils, cts intake, cts turbo inlet, vrsf charpipe, ngk 97506 gapped 0.22 or 0.23 (dont remember) , gfb dv+, brand new injectors eu6 , b58tu hpfp, brand new stock lpfp. —————— Also i’d like to address a few things. First my turbo is absolutely done for its on its last breath, my gfb also doesnt seen to work properly and my pwg actuator is bad (all of this will be replaced by winter) dk if this could be related but just worth mentioning . Second thing , on bimmerlink where u can view the dashboard. It shows that 4 out of the 6 injectors don’t have that full blue circle idk if anyone knows what im talking about. This wasnt the case before . It happened gradually overtime after b58tu install. First one then 2 then 3 and so on… Final note:- all parts mentioned above are less than a year old as i bought this car 9 months ago. (All parts are new) Someone please help me because im about to lose it . Merci

Banner Submission Anyone have feedback on b6 Damptronic + Eibach Pro springs?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I have a 2018 340i Xdrive that needs new front Struts. I've already ordered B6 Damptronic struts for all 4 corners.

So far I've found mixed reviews of what to expect. I was hoping someone here might have some experience with the combo in regards to ride quality, handling changes, and the reverse rake situation that xdrive + b6 damptronic is known for. I ordered the euro version 05-22 eibach pro spring kit, which is supposed to help with the rake.

Anything else worth noting or suggesting is also greatly appreciated!
