4.8iS Doesn't See a DME!
Okay, some of the original issues are chronicled in another post, but long story short, I was having intermittent P1515 codes (some CAN error) and P2272/P0159 (O2 sensor issues). I then started...

I'll do that at lunch. And sorry, maybe I'm thinking of this wrongly: The N62 has no functional throttle while running, so I should feel NO to little vacuum, right? Am I feeling for too much? What...

That's a great test. I'll check that. I'd be surprised if a CCV problem would cause severe enough lean mixture for the O2 sensor to think it is stuck, right? Could it cause a stumble?

I have had my 2006 4.8iS for a little over a year now, and **fingers crossed** I finally solved the P1515 "Engine off timer plausibility" code that multiple BMW service places, including the...

N62B48 Replacement Engines...
Hey all,
I did a quick search, but as is common, the clutter makes it very hard to get a simple answer.
I am looking to rebuild an N62B48 for my 2006 4.8iS and there seems to be a dramatic...
