BMW designed the systems to function correctly when everything is in working order. After several repairs along these lines, the systems will be rendered undiagnosable/unrepairable due to the "band-aids on bullet wounds".

Most here will agree that when looking at pre-owned vehicles, seeing these types of repairs QUICKLY remove them from the list of accepable vehicles.

If a shop returned my vehicle with that installed, I would be breaking my foot off in the shop managers butt.

End Ouote

Wth content like "technological capabilities and scientific potential" you may want to go back to the basics of good vehicle repair, root cause ID and correction.

Why would you call somebody out like this? Nobody thinks of this as a permanent fix. We all realize this is a band aid. I appreciate Able truck sharing his solution to the problem. You come across as an asshole. When you have this problem and run to the mechanic, please share your repair bill with us. Im personally tired of dumping thousands into my car, just because it says BMW.

It's been my life experience that when people react with closed minded negativity as TiAgX5 or BMWOEM1 does - They usually have something to loose or have done something wrong. They may make money on the issue or maybe he's an engineer protecting his profession. Most TBS (SIB) are admissions that an engineer or a dicision maker has phucked up. And nobody wants to get hit in the wallet.

I think TiAgX5 is a tree hugger that hates to see anybody mess with the emissions stuff on a vehicle. Or, maybe he works for the EPA....and he's about start issuing fines to everybody on the forum that's altered their vehicles. We're all screwed! We've have big brother after us now.

What happened to the days of the ole Chevy 350 when there was a simple breather on top of the valve covers....

I've been called many things but NEVER this.

The Viper is running 700 hp with Henessey big tube headers, straight pipes and Moroso race mufflers, no cats.

The Viper is running 700hp with big tube Henessey headers and Moroso spiral flow race mufflers, no cats. Even passed Fla emmission inspection that way because the inspector can't visually verify the cats on a Viper, OE location is inside the rocker panels.

You're going to be a tree hugger if you keep pokin' the bear. Couldn't be a better time to eat some humble pie. Suggestion--say--I was outa my hed. I was a sittin' ona fir ant hill whenst I rote it.

Not closed minded negativity at all. Just pointed out the fact that resale values drop and troubleshooting future problems becomes more of an issue when band-aid repairs are done.

I've been involved in dozens of these types of "make it to shore" repairs in the '70s and '80 when out on 3 day deep sea fishing trips and 6 to 8 week cruises up and down the eastern seaboard of the NA continent (everything from big block Chevys to a 53' Bertram SportFish with Cummins VT8370s W/twin turbos). I've also redesigned/fabricated a few automotive components, the 1st gen Viper in my sig has an oversize trans input shaft, bearing and front billet front trans plate (torn down, CMMed, designed in UniGraphics, CNC machined, assembled and reinstalled by me), to handle the added power and get rid of the input bearing neutral rattle that is common on gen 1 and 2 Vipers.

I avoid these indirect repairs whenever possible. Pulling heads and sending them to a machine shop for a rebuild is no big deal.

I'm a manufacturing engineer for the aerospace industry and had therefore well aware of the millions of $s and hours that go into designing and testing systems.
