I recently purchased a 97ti with a M44 that has a DASC. It did not come with an install manual. Does anyone have one in electronic form? I am looking to evaluate the crank case ventilation routing and this differs from stock form.

They are very helpful and should be able to email you a pdf. Just make sure he knows exactly which m42 or M44 versions you have. If he can't help I may be able to find one, depending on what year. | | | 08-15-2017, 08:56 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2017 Location: Colorado Posts: 8 | Quote: Originally Posted by cmoore Contact Jim at Downing Atlanta.

I did not have a contact name so it may take a bit longer. I have a 97 with the M44. I am not clear on the model of the SC, but will take another look after work. | | | 08-15-2017, 09:57 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2012 Location: philadelphia Posts: 217 | I know I have the 97+ M44 manual. If you give me an email address , I can forward it to you. | | | 09-01-2017, 03:21 AM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2017 Location: Colorado Posts: 8 | Thanks for the offer. I was able to get it from the previous owner. I am still trouble shooting some vacuum and/or intake issues. There are stutters in the 2000 to the 2800 rpm range. The PO did some valve work, the exhaust is also a larger diameter than stock, the SC pulley is the smallest available and the car has a performance chip. I've replaced some hoses, clamps, etc., and it has gotten better, but this is mildly annoying, and I want to get it perfectly smooth. I believe the crank case valve is in need of replacement too and that will occur this weekend as it just arrived. The other item to address is a lower than normal idle for the first 1-2 minutes, etc. Once up to standard running temp it is fine. The forum advice is a bit all over the board, and without seeing/feeling/hearing it, it perhaps isn't realistic to diagnose the issue from a keyboard. Thanks again, and I hope to contribute to the knowledge base for others too. edit - pulled everything off can cleaned thoroughly. It runs nicely now. It could have been a dirty MAF sensor.

Might need some dyno tuning to get running properly and have a proper tune for the DASC. | | | 09-09-2017, 09:51 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by schiavonec Hello, new to the forum and BMW.

The site is telling me I don't have adequate permissions to download from the link above, I assume because i am a new user. Does anybody know where else I can find it? | | | 09-06-2019, 03:09 AM | #9 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2019 Location: Oregon Posts: 9 | I think the forum will let me download it after 5 posts, but it sure is hard to rack up posts with how slow it is around here. | | | 08-25-2023, 10:14 PM | #10 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2023 Location: London Posts: 2 | Hi, are there any admins on here?
