Actually the seller just got back to me and said that the holes were tapped from Vishnu with 1/8 NPT, I guess I will be on the hunt for either a 1/8 NPT bolt for now to plug it up pretty good or ill be waiting until I can get a replacement meth bung in that size.

Pretty simple fix with the 1/8th plugs. Just make sure you get some appropriate rubber washers or O rings so you can be sure you have an air tight seal. IMHO the coupler idea was probably the fastest and easiest solution.

So I attempted to create a coupler to plug up the holes, yes holes. I took out the second meth bung to attempt to find the right size bolt to plug up the hole and now the second meth bung won't screw back in either. The bung appears to have just been held in place with some loctite because the hole is clearly bigger then the meth bung to the point where it just sits in it and I can pull it out by hand. So I made a coupler to cover up the holes and as I thought all was good the car still ran like shit. Idk what to do with it now, brought the car to BMW to let them figure it out / fix it. We shall see I guess.

Brought the car to BMW, they said they couldn't figure out what the problem is with the car and that they test drove it and couldn't find any issues. They said they could try to upgrade the DME but there's no guarentee it would help anything and since I'm under CPO warranty that it would cost roughly $300 to get it done. Does that seem right to you? I thought for sure the DME would be under warranty if my car was running like shit.
But I'm going to pick up the car soon and I'm gonna see how it runs

what exactly is the car running like? is it rough at idle, on a load, high rpms? now that you have the coupler on, just to reset maybe anything wierd have you tried to unhook the battery for a little bit? i would think that the dealership would have done this but i would do it just to be sure. sorry to hear about your car running shitty. i hope you get it figured out and its nothing big. |
