I have a bentley maintance book but it neglects to even mention this part or even how to replace it. Does anyone have experience replacing this part, a picture of the engine parts schematics and a list of needed parts and special tools required to replace the buggar? | | | 10-24-2007, 05:40 AM | #2 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | for m44: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...11&fg=10&hl=26 however, i have no idea how to access and replace it. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 10-24-2007, 05:41 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | Ick. It's deep. You can see the two in these pictures. The upper and lower intake manifolds, fuel rail, wiring harness, etc. are all removed. The front one might be accessible from the front of the engine without removing stuff. I'd have to have the car infront of me to know. I think the only way the rear one would come off without removing everything might be from underneath. The starter may be in your way, if it's even possible. This is my M44 BTW. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
