This 100%! Same thing happened to me, car wouldnt start after TB change. Online instructions did not mention this very important step. Went back and put the rotor on in the correct orientation and she started right up.89 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...

Nope, I put it on the wrong way. It is keyed, but still possible to put it on wrong if you dont know its keyed. So, if you just put it on without paying attention to keying it properly, its likely its on wrong and thats your problem.

It's always hard to double check your own work, you tend to assume. When I was writing papers in college one of the professors told me to re-read the papers from the bottom up, forces you to read the individual sentence. Same sort of thing trouble shooting, inspect one thing at a time as an individual part. Hell, I think we've all skimmed over something trouble shooting a problem! Glad you got it sorted!2004 525i Manual - 1985 325E Coupe Manual
