Just wanted to Introduce myself.

My name is Josh and have recently graduated from uni and as a present to myself I bought myself my dream car. I purchased a nice black with blue pearl R32 GTS-t. I have been driving around while studying a very slow Suzuki Swift Cino so its been a great change.

So far its fairly stock but it does have a bodykit (not sure what type) HKS drager exhaust with twin tips and a HKS pod filter. Hopefully when my bank balance recovers I would like put a nice set of wheels on and a front mount and upgrade the suspension.

Looking forward to meeting a few people at the next mountain run.

Let me know what you think of my car

Cheers Staffo

Thanks again for the warm welcome. Looking forward to the mountain run.

Had a slight problem with the car last night. Was missing under full acceleration at about 5500 and about 6500 as well. Seemed to only occur when it was hot.

I'm thinking maybe coil packs or spark plugs could be on they way out. I've been told to take the cover thingy off as it makes the coils too hot. Is this right?

Any suggestions? Fuel pump is only about 6 months old

Sounds like coil packs to me...but try the spark plugs first

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?

      My BMW 335i

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Kip · Posted

      Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.

      Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
