Hi Chaps,
Just been reading/viewing some interesting articles on various forums and You Tube to do with the e60's.
First thing - of y'all that have e60's, how many of you have the "sport" button feature situated behind the gear lever? How many of you with that feature use it and what is your opinion?
I have had 2 530d msports and neither have had that, not my pre LCI or my current 09 LCI. I think I may have seen one before with it. The reason I ask is that there is a nifty hack to enable the feature and install the button to activate it. Has anyone done this? Would be interesting to hear the feedback.
Second thing is to do with the swirl flaps. By all accounts its the 520d that seems to suffer more with the failure. Apparently the LCI 530d's dont suffer from this as there was a factory fix applied - not sure how true though. I have read that this was a very common issue with the e39's. I also have read various comments on other forums that folks who have done the blanking and egr delete have mixed results. Some have reported a fairly noticeable loss of torque low down? Would be interesting to hear thoughts on this as well and if anyone knows if the LCI's have been rectified or if there have been failures?
