    Which engine do you have? It will make a difference in the MAF you need. If you are still after help. I can do an engine diagnostic for you. It will require you to set up OBD Fusion on your phone/tablet and run some data logs. Post the logs here and I will do the diagnostic for you. I do...

    Transmission Fluid Leak at Mechatronics electrical connector

    My 2007 3.0SI E86 coupe with the 6HP19 auto transmission has a leak coming from the electrical connector on the Mechatronics. I have the ZF transmission service kit and the new Mechatronics connector sealing sleeve. Getting under the car, there looks to be next to no space to get to the...

    Vague Center Steering

    Closing off the thread. Took the lower cover off and did my geriatric yoga to find the Torx bolts. Man they were tight, but I managed to get them loose. Marked the "as found" position. Made about a 5mm anticlockwise adjustment, tightened everything back up and went for a test drive. What a...

    Vague Center Steering

    The car is a 2007 3.0SI E86 Coupe The problem is that at 100 km/h (60 mph) there is around an 1 inch (25mm) area of vague steering in the center. The car can jump either way a little when steering is centered. Put the car in sports mode and it's worse. Question. Is there a way to adjust the...

    Z4 will Crank but not turn over

    Here is a link to a thread on what to check. It's from the E46 guys, they use the same M54 engine as your car. https://www.e46fanatics.com/threads/no-start-guide.1011677/

    Presure plate "ninja star"

    Yes, you have to rest the pressure plate again. See YouTube videos on how to do this. Yes, you have to drop the transmission again. Only remove the ninja star once the pressure plate has been bolted to the fly wheel.

    E85 3.0 m54 intermittent rpm drop/nearly stall on cold start

    Hi Max Do you have an OBD2 scanner for your car? If so, with a hot engine at idle write down and post her the following live data PID's: - Short term fuel trim (STFT) for both banks - Long term fuel trims (LTFT) for both banks - MAF value in g/s.

    Rough idle 3.0si N52b30

    Too rich (any fuel trim < 0%). Too much fuel, not enough air. Faulty MAF or Pre-Cat O2 sensor fooling the DME into thinking 1 of the 2 prior causes is happening, blocked Cats. If the problem is bank specific, a leaking injector. Check your cats by looking at the post cat O2 signals with a hot...

    Lumpy Idle upon start

    Your screen shot shows the long term fuel trims but not the short term fuel trims. Some vacuum leaks are small enough for the engine DME to manage when in closed loop control (when the engine is hot). They cause misfires when the engine DME is in open loop control (when the engine is cold)...

    Lumpy Idle upon start

    Check your fuel trims (4 of them) to see if the car is running lean. If it is, then smoke test it to find the vacuum leaks.

    What colour is the Auto Transmission oil in an E86?

    I got under the car to inspect and it's definitely auto transmission fluid. Leaking from the electrical connector at the rear of the transmission and dripping down over the sump/pan bolts. Thank you everyone for your help.
