My dad told me I should pick up some gasket sealer before I do anything, will this work?
Nick so I won't even have to take off the timing chain cover?

The oil leak is right around


Hard fix?
What needs to be replaced to fix this?

Hey guys my 97 318i squeaks a lot while running and I have no idea what it is.
I've changed the belts thinking it was that and it still squeaks.
Any ideas on what it could be? Its embarrassing

Suspension / Setup help

« on: September 24, 2010, 02:09:34 AM »

Hey guys I got some ground control coilovers and I'm wondering what setup I should run with them. I've got 650lbs spring for the front, and 400lbs in the rear.
Problem is the rears are 2.25 and I need 2.5 so I need different springs.
What rate would you guys suggest for the rear, I was thinking around 450.

I'm also in need of camber plates, what are some good ones that don't break the bank. Also will rear camber be a big problem, are adjustable control arms needed?

That's the one I was looking for, thanks man!
I need to get this going soon, my M44 is a little on the slow side.

Interior / Shift knobs

« on: September 17, 2010, 02:35:50 AM »

Hey guys can anyone direct me to a shift knob that's not factory BMW, I'm looking to spend $90 on one..
Tuner has momo's but those are also like $90.
I'm not looking for anything specific just something a little different.

Stroke your m42!
There was a build thread on it, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Engine + Driveline / Check engine light codes

« on: February 28, 2010, 12:42:32 PM »

Hey guys I have a 97 318i 5speed sedan, my check engine light turned on the other day and out of no where the car started to run like total shit.
I've got a friend with a computer to get the code for the check engine light, is there a site somewhere that shows what all the codes mean?
