If the limiter excist, the reason is BMW tries to limit heavy wheel spin, more than trying to save mechanical parts. Safety reasons, I think. But, I sure dont like it, Z3M goes so fast with 1st gear it limits acceleration too much. Some writings say that after dropping the gear sensor cables its bet...

Ive been thinking my S50 dont pull as fine at first gear, than it does at second or higher gears. It feels like 20-30% is off from the torque. I felt it when taking rolling starts, but also when slapped the clutch hard at start. It feels really flat at aprox 3000-5000 range. I asked from E36 M3 frie...

Good link of installing cruise to S50:

Are you going to lift it, or drop it? If lifting, with or without the gearbox? I took mine with gearbox. Very tight but doable.

131

Thanks for that. Ive been doing gooood deals. Just bought the actuator with cable and the switch delivered for 62€. Not bad, huh? Found the module for 20€ and I know I get new clutch switch for 10€ so I should have cruise under 100€ which isnt much

131

Very good link! Im gonna write the final question there. My brakeswitch wiring isnt the same as in the thread pics. Thanks!

131

Ive been studying and I can find: - module connector behind glove box - switch connector above the brake pedal - actuator connector beside main-fusebox What Im not sure yet is how the clutch switch is prewired. I can find few wires which could it be it, and they might have jump-cable/connector now. ...

131

The "latch striker" costs only 24€ so it was cheap repair! But, I had to study the electrics so deep that I found out the autocruise module is prewired. Im pretty sure the switch is also prewired. I didnt find the clutch switch wire but its propably there. Have anybody tried to install cru...

Problem solved :D Although Im a bit :oops: cause I was kinda stupid, but what can I do :shrug So, here is the problem, the knob is worn; http://www.131abarth.com/Kuvajemma/nappi.jpg As I said earlier, I measured the door switches and they worked perfectly. But I didnt understand the door didn push t...

I think the problem is finally going to be solved, see this link and following text from there: "If you have an E38, 7-series, E39, 5-series or E53, X5 and have the problem where the door locks don't work from the key fob remote and the central locking button, but, do work when the key is inser...

131

Yep, I checked it again earlier when I noticed the fob do open the locks. The light is on in both positions of switch. I can try tomorrow, to make sure, taking off the door switches. Its easy, the plug is under the plastic in cabine, just beside the door. You dont even need to take anything off, jus...

131

I have measured all the switches and they do function as they should. I have been reading that if some door is open, it will try to lock and then opens. This isnt what is happening with my fob, it just dont do a thing from lock button.. Does the system need clutch switch? I dont have it. Although wh...

This is so weird. I did find the siren from under fusebox. I also called previous owner who confirmed that this car did have working remotes and alarms last summer. Its been mine since, so there should be all hardware needed. I cannot find alarms module though. I just ripped everything away from beh...

131

Did you find the switch? I dont have one either. I did find two cable connector though 1x2cm with round female pinholes. Could it be so that the switch has been removed? Should the switch be actually "switch" or somekind of blind plug taken on and off or what? Trying to solve the alarms pr...

Are these 61138353797 bulbs BMW available from BMW only? Osram or such doesnt sell them? Ridicilous pricing here, 7€ each, standard 1.2W is 0,50€..

Could you tell why I dont have "High speed relay" nore "Normal speed relay" in my fuse/relay box? I dont have the "Compressor relay" either, but its propably for AC which I dont have.

Robert, This is S50 for sure. So, I dont have ASC+T at all. Trunk light, I found the thing you mentioned earlier today. And it seems to work. When I was painting the car the battery went to zero if the trunk bulb was in place. The cabin light still needs detective work. If I want the button away, sh...

Some new pics, taken with my cellular. Will post better later. Paintjob is pretty fine, I need to refurbish the wheels. AC Schnitzer suspension is nice, but rear should be a slightly higher.

I finally got the M complete and running. Its really nice car, thats for sure and lovely ride. But, it seems to have a lot of electrical problems, which I would like to hear if there is some shortcuts to these problems.

Thanks!

BTW, if somebody has corner weight scales for sale and for reasonable price, let me know. I have E30 325i track racer, thats why I need them.

131

Yep, that was the problem. Now the camber looks like fine. But, Im still looking for the AC Schnitzer alignment specs. I did see the file in the forum, but cannot find it anymore. Please, gimme link to the page if you can find it.

131

I noticed eccentrism and for odd reason I thought the arrow stamped on them should point outwards.. It should point frontwards??

Well, I better check it tomorrow.

131

I bought AC Schnitzer suspension from Ebay.de. I got the front struts from sodablast and got them painted. I also changed the slides and seals so their like new now. I installed them yesterday and ran in to weird situation. I measured front camber before and it was 1,5deg. After I installed AC Schni...

The painter is my friend, and is driving in our raceteam. So, I cannot press him very hard.. I just visited today his workshop and they hadnt even started the painting.. Dough!!

The engine works perfectly! Have been driving in my homestreet few meters allready. I have to change the front discs and pads, and front AC Schnitzer springs and struts and its ready. Except the painting.. I noticed the spotwelds too, but Im not sure if the part itself is made from two pieces, or if...

The calipers look really cool and they propably do the work. How about the master cylinder sizing? Is the original size ok for those? And, where did you get those calipers, how much you had to pay for them?

I was going to paint the bumpers, and the left mudguard cause of the wrong colour. Then I noticed few stone hits at the another rear mudguard, so I took if off. Then I thought I better paint the "side entrances" also, to take them off I had to take front mudguards as well. The drivers mirr...

Thanks for help! The cable has plastick "stick" which locks the lid, the stick is cut from the middle. It seems to be pretty easy to change. Just ordered bunch of more parts from Schmiedmanns.

Im stripping my Z3M, it has repainted rear and front bumper, and wrong color ofcourse.. Im going to paint rear mudguards at the same time as some other parts too. But, the question. I took of the right rear mudguard and there was this weird sensors mounted inside. What it is? No switch or such, just...

Almost unbelievable... I bought white vaseline, thick grease which I put with my finger to those metallic rails. I sprayd silicone to front rail, and teflon spray to all over the mechanisms I couldnt put the white vaseline to. And vóila, all problems went away... Almost unbelievable, it was so stuck...

I found those lube threads earlier, but they didnt seem to be the problem cause the window rotates. I think it could be the sliders mentioned in the bimmerforum thread. I cannot find them from ETK... :( Could order them straight away. I will go and buy some lubricants as mentioned in the links and t...

Im going to do it, thats for sure. Its ugly as hell, first thing to see when you go in, broken guide.. Another problem, wrong thread though.

Uh, sometimes it so hard to read AND understand. :head: Well, that dont look like a job I would like to do.. But I just ordered the part from schmiedmann, along with 100 other tiny bits, screws and nuts and so on and on. Im missing the little plastic holder that keeps the first aid kit in place. It ...

Has anyone renewed the fuse-relay box cover? I accidentally broke the large connector plastic bracket, it needs the whole box cover to be replaced.. It seems to be pretty cheap at BMW, about 20€, but im not sure if its possible to change it when the cables are still attached in the car? Im talking a...

Damn, I got the engine running yesterday, finally. But, it kept terrible rattle-sound.... :shock: It was getting worse and worse :bawl: I work as paramedic so ofcourse I do have stethoscope in my garage, I started lookin for the place the sound comes. It wasnt Vanoses, not the cams, but seemed to co...

131

Thanks for info. I should have two of those "flowers"? And the hinge, should I have two of those for the lid? They had put subwoofers on the lid.. What you think, where should those plastic screws be at? Or the pipe with open side?
