It's been a while since I did mine, but the only thing I remember re tools is that I had to try a few different types of sockets as you need a pretty thin walled socket to get the pinion nut off. ...

Not factory - but HRE forged

Another one to add to the list. These aren't factory, but interesting nonetheless. Got a set of HRE 547 wheels in 20x9, and the bare weight is 30.07 lbs. ~6.5 lbs (18%) lighter than the same size...

No, I think only centrifugal blowers can still be bought new for the m54 - now or of production for what, 17 years? You'd have find a pd blower used. But, no way I'd spend $5-7k on a blower for...

Yes, the flywheels are the same. The clutch disc will have different splines based on if it's mating to a 5 or 6 spd.

Adding power won't fix a bad transmission, and I noted that in my post where I said the transmission and cooling need to be in top shape before considering boost.

I'll throw my two cents in here since I've kind of been thinking of doing the same thing as you are. I've concluded that the M54 engine will be fine with boost provided you don't become addicted to...

Make sure you run the EU2 tune or an equivalent that remaps the car for catless operation, and it will really cut down on that stink. If you just remove the cats without tuning, the car will run pig...

Questions on 35d SCR/DPF/EGR delete

When we got our 35d a few years back, we knew a trouble point on the diesels can be the emissions equipment and figured we'd do the delete when the time came. In fact, BMW also recognized this and...

That's the hard part - getting the communications to work right. Since you've tackled that, you're ahead of the game. Flashing takes like 10 minutes.

Yep, my guess is a massive vacuum leak since all cylinders are misfiring, and misfires are usually due to lean condition. (I suppose you could have 6 bad plugs/coils, but that's unlikely)
