I thought you could still limp the car home if the water pump goes. Is this not the case?

jor2cool4u · 06-29-2015, 01:22 PM

maybe with the heat on blast? idk i was getting paranoid with all the smoke coming out and the stupid blaring red error message saying to turn the engine off

I don't think they'll care about your tune or the DPs, but what tune are you running? If it's the Cobb, I'd flash back to stock anyways. Water pump should just be a revised part number, not including a DME update as far as I know.

you know what i was thinking? I probably have to uninstall the cobb and then overheat the engine again so it throws the warning because I am assuming uninstalling the cobb will wipe any trace of the waterpump failing for the dealer to see : /

Would you want to risk that?

no, especially not as I have AAA. I know if your HPFP fails you can limp home, same with many CELs, etc. Just curious.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the motor won't start up when it's warm and will just shut down once the Red coolant icon shows up. I remember coasting into a parking lot then calling AAA.

Also is there a reason they don't list e92s 2011+?

I have the 160's for my E90 LCI. The 2011 E92 is not listed because the E92 LCI received LED angel eyes as part of the facelift

jor2cool4u · 07-01-2015, 01:42 PM

got my waterpump replaced under warranty so now I have a brand new waterpump and bolts for sale if anyone is interested

Torgus · 07-01-2015, 01:48 PM

I'm interested. But I've been really lazy and paying people to do the work for me. PM me a price for it all if you don't mind.

I wish I paid someone to do that stupid install. Hated it.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Don't do it man, just get the OEM

I ordered a carbon fiber spoiler from jl motoring and the weave and fitment sucked asshole. I also wouldn't use these fucks again either as their customer service is atrocious

Ended up selling the spoiler and got an OEM

Hello! I'm a new 2007 e91 owner and would love some insight into some different mods and upgrades performance and stylewise. You guys sound like you have a decent amount of sense and humor, a lot of the later if I read correctly. If anyone has personal experience with the three stage intake, that would be great!!

Welcome.

Honestly it being an NA engine means it's going to cost a lot to get much performance out of it. The E91 is a heavy pig with an underpowered engine(imo). Not wanting to burst your bubble but it probably isn't worth investing much into straight line performance. Do they even make headers for it?

MetsFan · 07-06-2015, 01:59 PM

So after getting new tires put on my OEM 16's to be able to pass inspection, the check engine light came on. Cylinder 4 misfire... I cleared it and drove it a couple of times during the weekend to see if it would come back.

Luckily, it was still good this morning so I was able to get an inspection sticker finally. I think I'm done with the car next year though.

If anybody wants to buy a brand new ebay m3 trunk lip spoiler in black sapphire, let me know. I never got around to installing it.
