Are those of any use to you? they sell individual ones too
-
I don't know if it's the dealer, they have no issue ordering them for me but when the request goes to BMW over in Germany they are saying it is illegal to send that item here. Usually only happens with Euro only stuff, but I may go there today and see what the heck is going on. It is a US part, so it getting denied is not logical.
Those are the nozzles Snap, I'm really hoping I don't get to that point. Dude guy is shipping the new injectors today so I'm going to call and see how much testing / adjusting them will cost, and if the cost is low I will have them cleaned and inspected. If the cost of the shop is too high I will just buy the stuff and do it myself.
Fuel pump is still dumping fuel and I found that seal kits cost about $15 so I ordered on of those as well. While I have all of the injectors out I may as well pull the fuel pump too and reseal that.
As for my $20 purchase...
I got the middle ones all drilled and mounted, but need to do the outside ones yet.
I have issues with not doing things properly so I learned how to take apart the sunroof stuff and get to the roof!
I look forward to wiring them up and putting everything back together! I will be wiring them to the running lights to they are pretty much always on.
I looked inside the intake manifold after pulling it and I think I need to do some cleaning!
I'm glad to finally have injectors that aren't garbage on the way, and I feel like I'm digging myself out of the hole that this motor has been putting me in!
Next step will be to get the intercooler in place and piped! Ordered some couplers to make that happen, but I'm not sure if I will be sticking with the stock intake manifold for this part.
Until next time!

How is the rear view mirror even attached/removed? Mine wiggles a little bit and id like it to not wiggle a little bit. Can you, with your vastness of space and clarity provide me with any such explanation on removing/tightening the rear view mirror? its something id rather not break off out of hopelessness

I remember trying to pull a mirror out of a shell before and it didn't want to move.
It is spring loaded pins that push into the chassis and apparently you can just wiggle and pull.

There are some random parts on US cars that end up being blocked for no reason and it's frustrating as hell. We spoke with a BMW rep at SEMA in 2016 in hopes to get more info and finding a workaround for their policy and all we got was a blank look. BMW seems totally oblivious to why this is even a concern among enthusiasts.
If you need blocked Euro parts let me know. We work with a dealer in Europe specifically for this reason. Shipping takes a bit longer and is a little more expensive, but it is an option.

I have a very favorable opinion of this project. While some may consider this an abomination, I am very much looking forward to seeing it's completion.

15 holes in the roof later...
Test fitting and marking more holes
Added a wire to get them running without buttoning the whole car back up.
I'm extremely pleased with how they turned out!
Dave, you will be getting a message from me! Thanks for the help on that, didn't know you were still lurking on this thread!

Oh, my coolant expansion tank is dry now. Gotta find where that is going. Assuming heater core yet, need to swap that out.
-
Lookin' rad.
Also, did you forget to tighten your oil pan drain bolt?

Nope, as stated somewhere earlier that is all diesel leaking from the fuel pump. I pulled the fuel feed line off of it yesterday so hopefully it will stop soon.

I didn't realize spilled diesel was so dark and oily-looking.

Coolant leak confirmed
I already bought the heater core so now it's just a matter of swapping it.
Pulled out the fuel injectors and removed the fuel hardlines running to them. I had soaked them for a few days in PB so pulling them wasn't too scary, it certainly wasn't that fun though!
Worked on pulling the fuel pump out, took the pulley off the front, disconnected the throttle, fuel line, thermostat, and the bolts that hold the rotation of the pump. It didn't want to move so I called it a day and looked at the manual to see how it comes out. There are 3 bolts hiding that I need to take out and it should be free!
I finished up the cab lights as well.
Completely hidden, and come on with the key. I'm pleased with the way they turned out!
"New" injectors will be here tomorrow, and will be taken to a local shop to be tested/cleaned. Fuel pump seal kit should be here this week, and will tear the pump down a bit to get the new seals in and then back together it goes! I want to get the heater core swapped out while the motor is down.
I ordered some couplers to get the intercooler in there as well.
I'm quite excited to see how it feels with clean injectors and an intercooler. Should start scooting pretty well!

Reference for later:
Fuel heater turns on at fuel temp below 30 degrees F.
Fuel heater turns off at fuel temp of 55 degrees F -
Hmm. What is missing from this photo?
Oh! Found it!
I removed all the accessory stuff and was left with this.
It looks interesting, and I think I can see where fuel was leaking which is relieving. This lower sensor (timing advance) seemed to be quite soaked, so either the o ring seal there went or something above it did, but that area is easy enough to take apart.
My "new" injectors also came in! These look 1000x better than what I took out of the car. I will be taking them in to have them checked and cleaned if needed.
Now just waiting on the pump seal kit so I can get that taken care of!
