Took it for a run on PRIVATE PROPERTY (cough cough) and it sounded great... none of those stalling issues either...

As mentioned in above post, you can drive it softly with no flutter and if you want it to flutter just give it some stick!!!! :)

All is good...

(now to take it off so that i can drive on the public roads again withought being defected by the boys in blue....)

Mine is the other way round. I got a HKS 2530 and a Greddy BOV plum back and has flutter at low revs and in med revs you get flutter then a little psshhh and when i give it stick i get alot of pshh and very very small flutter. I have an adaptor plate between the pipe and bov which i need to check to see if it's blocked or not. Sounds awsome but thinking of going back to stock just so it's one less thing the cops can pick on.

Yea, I know what you mean dude! It's one of the first things cops look for... And who's to say some cops won't b sitting in a shopping centre car park when you go to change gears...

All of a sudden you see, two red and blue flashing lights in your rear mirror and hear woop woop!!! :(

is it true that some people have been pulled over and asked to rev their car???

That's why I was trying to find a way of blocking it off making it look stock but also wanting some flutter when I give it a good bit of stick...!

Chestnut, the spring rate in your BOV is what is causing the flutter on throttle release on low pressure and has the wssssh on throttle release after giving it plenty. I would highly doubt that you would have the BOV blocked off.

I am running the standard BOV in the sedan, and it flutters in gearchanges under load/high boost.

Only mods that i think contribute to this effect are the trust metal intake pipe, the standard BOV return pipe (which has been slightly modified to accomodate the metal intake), and the blitz pod filter. So it's a very standard looking set up. No coke can / blocking plate bizzo

Take you BOV off and you might just find it been blocked by a coke or JD can :P

well seeing as its another SAU;SA members old car, do you know something I don't Krish? LOL

I haven't seen anything like that though, have taken the crossover pipe off a few times now to replace plugs etc.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
