    Assume so! All I did was the backbox delete! Mine was a manual though. Don't know if it makes a difference as my auto E39 doesn't sound like this with the same mods!

    It is a mk2.5 manifold mk2 downpipe (standard) with a section of 2.25" stainless welded in to adapt it to a mk1 decat and mx5 parts single exit cat back exhaust. What I have recently done is now welded it onto v bands and have a removable straight pipe or resonated section to put on for certain trackdays. This was straight pipe centre.

    Yes do it! Mines a 1.8 and it makes 190hp, 180ft/lb 👍 It feels like a fast naturally aspirated car, but you do get ti a limit where the boost can't get turned up any more, which is where turbo takes over! Bur this is fast enough for track days!

    Thanks for the info, Ben. I have an '03 e39 530i in which I replaced the ABS module with a rebuilt unit (not my original). Unfortunately the rebuild was coded for an automatic trannie and not my 5-speed - and thus my DSC remains disabled. Can you possibly point me to which coding module to access to change that option? I have already installed all the BMW Tools & I have the K+DCAN cable, so I should be set to go.

  • @C_Productions

    As long as there is a round connector on your BMW, you always should use this one. Because not all of the ECUs are accessible through the OBD2. This changed once the OBD2 became standard in about 2002 and simultaneously the old round connector was no longer included.
