So I have replaced spark plugs, air filter, and checked for loose connection and what not, still getting a somewhat hesitating acceleration from 1500-2500 rpms & light throttle, i'm wondering if its just the nature of the motor, or it should be smooth. Another thing I'm noticing (not sure if...

Ok, now I'm going to be called the "BIGGEST" troll, but seriously though, not trolling, I've had this idea for a while, but my previous car trembled from even a thought of doing this so wanted to get some feedback about this. So, the idea is to build an electric driven turbo (no don't think...

Busy with questions here... So i recall seeing a thread somewhere about this but didn't pay much attention to it, now can't seem to find it, maybe another forum? Anyway, when the 5 is cold, and you're accelerating, and once you get passed maybe 2500 rpm, all of a sudden it feels like it just...

Hello, question about clutch, does m5 have a simple hydraulic clutch? or is there a pump involved like in power steering? I ask because when the motor is not running the motor doesn't seem to hook up to tranny until it is almost completely depressed, but when the motor is running it starts to...

Hello, second post here. I have a question about 2007 M5 power steering unit. Is it electric motor driven? or pulley driven? I haven't peaked under the hood yet (just bought the car) but while i was driving it I noticed that when I killed the car (as it was rolling down hill (i know what i'm...
