    I have a 2004 330xi with 122,000 miles that makes a ticking/rapping type noise when cold. Cold as in ambient air temperature cold. It only makes the noise if the weather is below 55 degrees outside and continues to make the noise until my temp needle just gets out of the blue area slowly getting...

    Hey guys just wanting to replace my DISA valve O ring. I have a 320ci. Can't seem to find someone selling one online that says 320i specifically. I was just wondering are the disa vavles the same size on the 320i as the 323 and 325 as they specifically list o rings for them. Or is the O ring the...

    So I had a stripped torx on the DISA, the upper one. After a couple of attempts at getting it out with a drill and all of that hassle I was finally able to get a good hold into the torx head. Only problem was that now it just spins. It doesn't come out nor go in, just spins. I used a flathead...

    M54b30 (E36 Compact) Hey, I've had a problem with my battery bracket that recently led to the battery slamming into the DISA valve, partially unplugging it and causing my engine management to freak out, this happened twice whilst I was driving, I made it home, repaired the bracket and plugged...

    I recently bought a 2001 E46 330i with the 3.0l M54 motor. When replacing the crank position sensor for a separate issue, I took out the DISA valve and noticed it was almost completely gone. I went ahead and looked up on realOEM.com the correct part number DISA valve for my car and found that...

    Let me start off by saying... yes my DISA is screwed, the flap is very loose. I've been trying to figure out what's been wrong with my car it was working fine a month ago then as i was going up hill i heard a sort of knock sound and my car was running like crap once again. I didn't suspect...

    Hi guys, my car went lost all power on the way home from work last night, and after limping it home, the morning after saw it starting fine and then dying at idle. I’ve got fault codes: P0102 P1512 No dash lights, feels like a limp mode; complete loss of power, dies in idle, feels like a...

    Hey guys, I've had quite the headache around my car - a 2000 e46 323IA - the last few months. It threw me an engine light, and I've since tried to figure it out. IMPORTANT TO NOTICE The car drives fine, however it does idle abit rough sometimes, I don't believe this is tied into the problem I...

    So if you're like me, every penny counts. I don't have $300-$500 to throw at my car just whenever something decides to break. I recently had an issue with my DISA valve. I went out to start the car to warm it up (inside) and the SES light was on. I opened the hood to see what might be the issue...

    Ok guys so my engine has been running lean for 5 months now and I finally examined my disa valve today. What I noticed was that it was very easy to take out and that the flap when moved would stay in the position I moved it and not flip back like a good valve should. Should I replace the whole...

    Hey guys. So I bought a 2000 BMW 318ci with the M43B19 (M43TU) engine. It's the 1.9 single cam engine. I got the car really really cheap and I was going to part it out but it really is too nice. I bought new gaskets, oil, plugs and all that and did a head gasket job. The car now runs. All dash...

    Will I regret saving $150 buying the aftermarket brand DISA valve replacement over the Genuine BMW DISA valve? Is this something I should spend the extra money on and not have to worry about any more, or are the aftermarket versions of this just as good as Genuine BMW?

    I bought all of these part to repair my Upper/Lower boots and Disa valve. Prior to doing this, my starter began acting up and I decided that I was going to get a new vehicle. Included for the $275 is upper intake boot, lower intake boot, vacuum hose, the ring that holds these two boots together...

    Recently my 325 has developed some odd symptoms. When I’m cruising and I let off the throttle to coast then re-apply the throttle, it will hesitate for a couple seconds (2 or 3) between 1200rpm and 2000rpm. While accelerating from a stop it doesn’t hesitate at all, only does it when I’m...

    Been having some issues with my car - today I was taking out the DISA valve as I had a rough idling problem on cold start / when the car warms up it idles better and sits at about 5rpm. Took out the DISA and (((pow)))) <img src="http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/4289/medium/IMG_31461.JPG" />...
