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...

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...

I'm not sure what the extended (silent) warranties apply to as they don't really publish that information to the public. A few dealer bulletins have been leaked here and there, but that's not...

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...

I have done this on an E39 as well as part of a factory navigation retrofit. It's been a number of years, so the details are a bit fuzzy, but I ended up using DIS to code the retrofit & cluster to...

:iagree: the pressure plate was the only part difference between the e39 & e53. I used the Valeo single mass kit, and I like it. Way simpler, cheaper, but it does give a hint of great rattle...
