Pretty sure that's not stock.

Was there someone on here who was doing a full m3 conversion on an E91? Drivetrain and all? I'm curious

@bluem3wagon on Instagram has one. Not sure if that is who you are referring to or not.

I agree. Another member just swapped in a diesel with a manual trans into one also. Probably my favorite build I have seen on this forum. Then again, I am partial to diesels. It always seems like the guys who swap wagons hold nothing back and spare no expense. Absolutely awesome to see.

Finally replaced the tensioner and idler pulleys after having the parts sitting on a shelf for a year.. They were more overdue than I thought.

Anyone here got some fun DIYs for me? Ex: dinan style intake

For some reason I thought their shipping was an additional $17, so I wasn’t going to order from them.

Shipping cost is good so I’m going to order from there.

Before I order or start a thread, I’ll ask here. I just read it’s ideal to run 6mm line from the bov to the manifold with a tapped fitting on the manifold.

Question, the hks bov nipple looks like it’s too small to accept a 6mm line.
What should I do?

& all I find is people saying 3.5 mm “will work” and others say they run 4mm!
Is there an advantage to running 4mm line?

There's no advantage to running 4mm line vs 3.5mm. 3.5mm is OEM spec. That's what I use. No issues.

As for the BOV, I can't help you there. I run OEM blow valves, which you can do up until around 20-22psi.

Did you need a new caliper bracket?

I've seen used sets for all 4 wheels for under $500.00
