    same thing for m60 e34s. they are known to flood if you run it for a short time (seconds) than shut it off because of the massive fuel dump on startup. ask me how i know.

      It did that to me a few times but Snap had told me that leaky injectors could be the culprit. My coupe doesnt the same rough start thing as mentioned above too

        On a cold start you will have the following fuel added on top of what is required to idle the engine:

        Priming pulse

        Cold start enrichment

        After start enrichment

        WOT during cranking will stop firing the injectors to allow a flooded engine to clear. 

        One set of injectors I had would leak to the point where I would get a bit of a hard-start after it sat overnight. It was a very slight and subtle leak but it was even more fuel added to the list above

          I had an injector leak that caused the engine to "hydrolock". Pulled the spark plug, cranked it over for a split second, shot fuel across the garage. Fun stuff!

                So FedEx put me on part time so I ended up finding a new job. I'm going be driving the PlayStation tour truck from April till end of October across the country to music festivals, air shows, comicon, etc. Should be a fun summer but bummed I'm gonna miss the whole car show season.

                https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/road-to-greatness/

                That's the schedule with last years dates still thought, hopefully some of you will stop by at summerfest!

                    Pretty cool!  Always neat when I see that rig rolling around somewhere.  The trailer set-up is pretty neat.

                    Plus, I designed the controller holders, so that's probably the best part, hahaha.

                        if the kids/adults who come to play games at your truck are anything like the ones playing COD and other online games on Playstation, your days should be fairly entertaining with lots of cuss matches, racism, and hacking accusations.

                              I want to order front adjustable endlinks for mine from them. Good to know their customer service is legendary

                                  At times folks have had better luck ordering IE parts though other vendors. Interesting business model.

                                  As mentioned in other posts, Gutenparts, Blunttech and others have great service. Bimmerworld came through this week as well for me--order placed on Wednesday showed up this afternoon by regular UPS ground no less. Immediate answers to emails and phone questions. Too easy.

                                        Blunttech is where I've ordered all of my stuff so far. Steve is a cool dude & responds to emails at pretty much anytime

                                          Blunt doesn't offer adjustable endlinks. So far it's IE or Pelican

                                          IE is like $55 and pelican is $70

                                          I'd rather not go homemade for the sake of crappiness
