My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
Default

My "engine fault" warning light comes up again. The car is shaking when idling. Probably due to the malfunction of the Spitfire injectors. It's already the second time (last time costed me almost $1.5K to replace one "ginseng"). I will probably change it back to the original ones after diagnois. You never know when is the third time will come. :thumbsdown:

If you plan to install spitfire stuff, think twice !!

Are you sure Splitfire causes that? Be honest here... you sure you weren't at a quiet spot somewhere with a ?

Seriously, I really don't know if it was because I have their whole set or what, I haven't had any problem with Splitfire or Okada Project... the Splitfire still runs perfectly in the E93 today after all these years...

Hong Kong sounds like it would be an awesome vacation. I wonder if I could get an e60 rental over there?

Perhaps I got bad luck with them. AK used the computer to check last time and it was indeed the malfunction "Ginseng" that caused the problem. I will be down there tomorrow to install new coilover and check the engine again. Finger-cross...

Honestly I prefer a nice bed with a jacuzzi tube instead inside a car. Anyway, it's good that you still have that thought.

You wouldnt actually need to rent a car...

Much easier to get around by public transport or cabs...

Finding a parking space as well as the traffic would be a pain if you are a tourist.
