wasnt m3 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm running the oem one on my wagon, love it. I believe the standard e46 coupe/sedan crossbars are about $220 from BMW. DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 So far this winter the M3 has been doing okay. Avoiding driving it on the super cold days in favor of the 2001 XJ Jeep. Necessary to do's: - Weld two new resonators I have into section 1. - Install new crush rings and bolts where the headers meet section 1. Hopefully these two fixes will fix the running rich on bank 1&2 and stop the vibrations at low rpm. - Connect sunroof drain hose in the A pillar. - Dry out the carpet.

DrLeadFoot Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Can you guys help me shead some light on the M3's cylinders misfires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsweers89 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Well smotth running values def indicates cylinders 1 and 2 misfiring at that time. BUt your fault codes show more, and a low fuel level fault also. When does the misfire occur? Id be inclined to either investigate cylinders 1 and 2 or clear all faults, make sure you have more then a 1/4 tank of gas and see what faults return. coils. plugs, injectors could all cause this.

DrLeadFoot Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Plugs and coils have been replaced recently. Usually #6 always throws a code. The tank was full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I cant believe all the crap you can read off newer control modules. That would drive the OCD crazy with all the faults that come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I cant believe all the crap you can read off newer control modules. That would drive the OCD crazy with all the faults that come upYou have no idea, I bought the scanner that can tap into every module in my e46. It is ridiculous what it will record, "low voltage passenger side mirror" for example. It was a shadow code so it wasn't actively happening. If you unplug anything it will remember. Gets crazy, and that's on a 2000, imagine what the 2014 cars are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsweers89 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Clear it, see what happens. Next time it comes on please get a real scanner and print codes. aka gt1 or isid. I mean how easy would it be to have burger run faults for you quick. Also do you have any tuning software on it or stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I printed the codes from an autologic(?) Scanner. It comes on right after start up after clearing. I have frank smith software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsweers89 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ok so its a present fault. Do all the misfire faults come back? cylinder 1 and 2 could be the culprit and causing the rest to store faults also. What if you remove the software and clear? Easiest thing would be to swap coils and plugs with differenct cylinders just to make sure its not either of them. I know you stated they were new but still. Next would be fuel injectors.
