Hello! Recently purchased a 2.5 e85 from a member. I’ve had it a week and I’m in love! Figured I should join to find out more about these great cars. Also considering some minor mods (springs, exhaust, wheels/spacers) so going to have a search to see what’s popular etc.
 
Thank you. Absolutely loving it! Cant help but have a massive grin every time I manage to tack it out. I removed the bung to engine today for some more noise. On the fence whether to keep or put back.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

If your car has a manual gearbox get rid of the Clutch Delay Valve.
 
It's designed to protect the drivetrain from drivers who aren't too competent with a manual gearbox and does it by restricting the flow of fluid from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder. It basically does it by having a smaller diameter than the pipe, and looks like this.

Although as you bought the car from Stuart it may not be there anyway!

If you search for BMW CDV removal there are loads of "how to" videos on Youtube.
