:ty: Everyone
Peter, I am still astonished by what a different car I'm driving now.
Here are a few things I've noted straight away :
Responsiveness is MUCH smoother, not just upon accelerating, but decelerating too
Low down Torque has increased tremendously (boy am I having fun now )
The 5'er used to get idle jumps/drops when cold and idling, that is now a thing of the past :joy:
Fuel consumption has decreased noticeably too
Engine feels like its running MUCH MUCH easier than before
Power delivery is SMOOTH as silk throughout the the rev range
Overall the whole car just feels 100times smoother and happier - Even better when I just got her :joy:
Let me tell you gentlemen, if you want your beemer to be sought after at insanity levels of detail and care, AXIS is your answer!
Peter and Alex, I cannot express my gratitude! Thank you for TOP CLASS work on the 5'er and all the advice!! You gentlemen are a BIG asset to the Forum and definitely some of the most knowledgeable guys around!
Thank you Sean (Moranor) for supplying the needed parts :ty:
Lastly, thank you Axis, for delivering the best service ever received so far! I shall most certainly recommend Axis to all bmw drivers!
:thumbs:
I am forever in your debt!
Thanks for getting this 5'er back in tip top shape and sending me away as one happy camper :ty:raise: raise:
Peter and Alex, you gentlemen are Legends!
Hats off to youraise:
Thanks again gentlemen! :thumbs:

Sorry to hijack the thread.But I also want to do the vanos rattle and seals repair. I am however unable to find a impact tool in upington to loan to open up the vanos piston. Do you guys have a different method without the impact tool?
I have M54B30 motor with no vanos rattles as yet but wanted to do it as a precaution measure.

Do not attempt to do rattle without the special vice covers and an impact tool.
It is imperative that the vanos piston is not clamped into a vice unprotected as they will be damaged and that will be the end of the vanos unit.
You will equally need the cam locks to set the cams in the correct orientation.
I realise the Beisan do not mandate the use of cam setting tools however trust me it is insurance to use them.
In a nutshell you will need an impact tool to do rattle kit.
You may wish to consider your local exhaust shop as they use air impact tools.
Set it to the lowest setting.
Today we finished installing all new water hoses as well as a vent pipe.
The vent pipe required the throttle to be disconnected and a word of warning to those unsuspecting.
Do not disconnect the throttle plug without first disconnecting the battery as it is a monumental mountain to climb when you attempt to reset the throttle position.
I think it took us at least 1 hour to clear faults and reset it.
Apparently it requires the use of GT1 which is a reader used by the dealers.
Alexander got it right with INPA however by his own admission he does not know how so he is unlikely to replicate it.
Gordon was most supportive of my negligence even apologised for me cocking it up.......thanks Gordon.
Anyway fuel consumption is now in the order of 7L/100Km which is astounding for a 1,6 ton car with 400klicks on it.
alucard if you decide not to do the rattle kit you can send it back to me with the jaw liners I will refund you
