Leaky valve cover gasket. This is a common problem that affects all models of BMW. The symptom that a valve cover gasket is leaking could be the smell of burning oil. If this problem persists, oil can enter the spark plug holes. This can destroy the ignition coil which is quite expensive to replace. Well-Known Member. Nov 4, 2012. #10. Re: Engine Mounting - replacement - BMW E90. Heard the 335 mounts are harder, but after install, feels the same or vibration on steering wheel much lighter. Did mine as preventative maintenance rather than replacement for worn out mount so maybe not much difference. Hello all, I'm having a very strange issue with my car that seems to be related to the eccentric shaft sensor and possibly the valvetronic motor. I drive a bmw with the N46 engine (318i - identical setup to the e87 118i). For the past few days I've been reading up on pretty much every thread related to these parts and systems and am pretty sure This article gives detailed instructions on replacing the camshaft position sensors in a BMW vehicle with the N52 6 cylinder engine. Even though we used a 2006 530xi to perform this repair, this article can be applied to any BMW vehicle with the N52 engine including most 2004-2013 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, X1, X3, X5, and Z4 models minor modifications to the repair steps. iTrader: ( 0) Heavy Vibration through chassis/engine bay? Hi there. When I rev the engine the car vibrates throughout the body, I have noticed no drops in performance or anything else that would highlight any easy to spot fixes. There is also a lot of shaking occuring when the car is idle, when I rev the car the shaking stops but there is more BMW are aware of this and have issued the following documentation: - BMW SI B61 08 11 View attachment BMW SI B61 08 11.pdf - BMW B61 08 11 Attachment View attachment B610811_Attachment.pdf This fault is a recall in the USA but not in the UK.

Seems normal. As mentioned, it's normal for voltage to fluctuate between 12-15v. If it goes outside this range, you have issues. These cars charge the battery when there minimal load on the motor. IE during coasting, deceleration, or any other light duty on the motor will raise voltage. If there is a large dump in the car or there is a large jsR4.
