SOLVED!: E53 X5 3.0 sounds like dying banshee on fire when I take my foot of the gas

Good stuff, guys

I ordered the CPS and it should be here mid-next week. Will keep you updated on whether it fixes the acceleration hesitation.

I was just looking at smoke testers online. I don’t know if I trust myself to build one from scratch lol, but I’m willing to give it a shot if the ones I’m seeing in the $70-$100 range are crap and the only reliable options are $200+ ones. You guys know anything about the $75 models on eBay/Amazon? Andrew, how do you like the model you got?

I bought one off Amazon or Ebay, I don't remember which, but it was inexpensive and it works fine. There's really not much to them. If I'd had time I probably would have built one myself. Helped my find a crack that wasn't obvious in my intake boot.
