Yep. It was on clearance for around $220 and then the price jumped. All of a sudden it’s showing out of stock. There’s still more out there though if you need.2003.5 MT JB/B - CSL SCHRICK SUPERSPRINT EISENMANN JRZ SWIFT MILLWAY APR ENDLESS BBS/SSR DREXLER KMP SACHS RECARO AR SLON MKRS GSP DMG KARBONIUS CP AUTOSOLUTIONS KOYO

For those of you with SSV1s, where did you place your sensors (if it even matters at all)? I see two bungs per header for O2 sensors and there's also a bung for the EGT sensor on both the headers and the catted section 1.
As far as I understand, the EGT is only there to protect the cats, so I think it makes sense to use the bung on the section 1 for that, as it'll be closer to the cats.
For the bank 2 header, the O2 bungs are right next to each other, so I can't imagine that matters too much. However, for the bank 1 header, there's one bung downstream of the collector and one in the middle of it. Which one should I use?
Not my pic, but I've labeled what I'm talking about here:

Just use the ones highest up, and cap the secondaries. I don't use EGT, but I agree that you should put it closer to the cats, so in sect 1 if your sect 1 has cats and the pipes have an egt bung ofc.DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram

Usually, you have to use a hex or a socket to hold the shaft while you loosen or tighten the nut. 7/8" or 22mm oxygen sensor sockets are good for this, as you can slip a smaller tool in to hold the shaft, then turn big socket with a big wrench.
For loosening, an air tool will zip the nut off so fast, you don't need to hold the shaft.Last edited by Tbonem3; 10-06-2021, 10:36 AM.DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram

I am planning to DIY rod bearings in my garage this winter along with VANOS refresh and valve adjustment and suspension refresh.
My question is about space required to do the rod bearings.
I will have the car up on the QuickJack, but I will have to have it positioned such that on the driver's side there will not be much room to even slide by between the car and the wall rack. I will have room in the front and plenty on the passenger side.
Is that doable?
I don't want to take the car apart, making it immobile and then not being to complete the job.
Thanks!2006 BMW M3 ZCP

It's doable as long as you can get the wheel off on the drivers side. I removed the whole front subframe when I did this job with only enough room to remove the wheel on the drivers side and about 3-4 ft clearance in the front.2001 TiAG M3 - 6mt Coupe, Anthracite Impuse - SOLD

What size is the schrader valve for testing fuel pressure, 5/16"? I rented a guage tonight and all of the fitting were much too large.
Can anyone recommend a decent gauge?2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

I'm going to be tackling some transmission work and am curious about deleting the clutch delay valve (CDV). I like the concept of a faster engaging clutch but have questions...
Is this worth doing at all? Or more of a "3 TiGhT FreE $$$ Mods!!!" Youtube video kind of mod?
Does it do any long term damage to remove the CDV?
