The clutch pedal should have a spring (#19) that helps assist it back up. Does yours have that?...

Rockauto will list measurements on some parts. I looked up a 2002 330i clutch release bearing and one of them has measurements: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...48&cc=1383230&...

When parts are plated in larger bins, they suspend the metal item so that the electrolysis process can easily access all sides. I would try again, but suspend the wrench by a wire or something.

I think to have the DME work without the car, you need to flash it. I have read about a 740i manual swap where a guy went over the details for getting that to work (with INPA or ITSA I think). You can...

I think that depends on the H&R spring rate and shock absorber. The H&R race spring rate is much higher spring rate. Add more dampening from a better shock and you have more force out into the...

What is the purpose? The coolant temp sensor changes the maps the ECU uses. Does this trick it to choose one particular temp for fuel mapping?...

Bilstein put the kit together. You can find it on their website and sold by many retailers besides ECS tuning....

I would check the coolant temp sensor resistance when cold and see if it's within spec. And do the same with both crank sensors, they should be with in spec when hot or cold.

I ran Eibach before. It's not as rough a ride as the H&R race springs (with Bilstein B8s) , but the H&R have less body roll then the Eibach. I am used to the H&R race springs, but I have contemplated...

What is the penny trick? Is the TPS adjusted properly?...

[jbontke]

The valeo kit came with a throw out bearing, why did you not use it? Is the TO bearing the same height as the one that came on the trans? Is the clutch fork the same between the m52 and m54 Zf trans ...
