35is Cold Start Rough?

Post by sunnydays » Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:56 pm

My oh my, the valve cover change sure was intensive, so many things had to be moved. Any how the car now has now had the following done:

6 x Bosch OE Spark Plugs
6 x Eldor OE Ignition Coils
3 x Index 12 Version 2 Injectors
1 x New Valve Cover / Gasket / Screws

I have just finished wiring everything up, I am going to double check all the wiring around the ignition in the morning, and then code in the new injectors. Fingers crossed she is all good when she starts up :)

OBD Cable is dead, so waiting on a new one so I can code the injectors and start her up. Everything else has been done and is ready :driving:

Well done. I'm a reasonable DIY'er but jeez, that 35is engine compartment looks mighty complex for mortals like me....... Extended warranty for me, £50 per month. and let BMW sort it....

John-e89 has very generously offered to pay half of the cost of the repair. It is very much appreciated, a true example of the great members we have on the Z4 forum. Thank you once again.
