Just ran across this thread and signed up to the site. Wow! What a great source of information. From those of us that are just starting to get our...
I moved all the pictures in this thread to a non-HTTPS image server. Hopefully, that fixes the issue.
Yep good info there. Etuners even went so far on a build as to key the crank where the lower timing sprocket sits. Definitely a permanent...
^ That's more like it. I was beginning to get worried about you Dave. I was starting to think you weren't feeling well or were on some kind of...
Its a common problem with the vacuum wastegate actuator on the R56. Vlad had the same issue with the JCW turbo up top. Take a look at DNA, JZW,...
As noted above no N18 here. My last Mini was an N18 and I specifically looked for an N14 since I plan on building this engine to include cams....
Haha it's all good and Dave.O has a point. JCW today does not mean what it once did. The Mini is evolving and in some ways not always for the...

Mmm I've tried to be open minded but I just can't help it and have to say this. BMW could you possibly have screwed this up any worse?...
Sounds like it's probably vanos noise. Dr. Vanos makes rebuild kits for other BMWs but I'm not sure if they make them for the R56. If over 100k...
A very simple solution I urge every one to try at least once is this. Pull dipstick, wipe, reinsert but not all the way. Push it in until the...
Not sure if they do or not. I use DashCommand with an iPhone and wifi OBD adapter. It will specifically measure post cat O2 sensor. The PID to...
Forge FMIC within 1 to 2 degrees of ambient here in South FL. Temps up to 95 degrees same speeds as the OP. Around town <30mph about a 4 degree...
Forgot to add a couple of other thoughts. The steady state driving I mentioned above, that is when the O2 sensor is operating in closed loop and...
