Help!! New to BMW's

jrod · 10-09-2007, 05:36 PM

Ok i am good when it comes to Turbo imports. But my friend has a 2003 335i and he has the ideal issue. I belive it is a really bad vacuum leak, as we can hear it. I can block the intake completly, and the car will continue to run. And one got ideal as where to start looking. Thanks, Jared

There wasn't a 2003 335i. Did you possibly mean 330i/ci?

samwoo2go · 10-09-2007, 06:34 PM

he said he is good with turbo imports so maybe he meant 2006 335i

That is correct

ejazbmw · 10-09-2007, 07:01 PM

maybe he meant 2008?

Taittinger · 10-09-2007, 07:03 PM

Maybe it was a rebadged 2003?

What's an "ideal" issue?
maybe it's a 2003 330i with a vacuum leak and he thinks all BMW's are FI?

jrod · 10-09-2007, 07:36 PM

ok looks like i am wrong about the 335i part. It is an 01 325i. My fault all the damn 300 series get me

Any way does anyone have any clue too what the problem is? Please help.

I would ask the same question on a BMW E46 (1998-2005) forum.

Are you blocking the intake at the throttle body or at the filter part?

Best help would probably be found on E46fanatics.com

Our cars are a completely different platform then your buddies.
