M43 engine.So far rebuilt the long shaft by changing the spider coupling , replaced the CSB , replaced the rear axel , duplicating a new key fob, upgrading to e90 staggered rim/tyres [ 215/45/17x8jj & 245/45/17x8.5jj ]My biggest setback so far was the damn ignition switch which becomes faulty with resulted not able to start my car right after the cloning of the codes from the EWS & the keyman not able to find the fault. Finally a good Wireman was able to kautim the fault by repairing the ignition switch. One month before that,  an "oversmart" wireman told me that my Alternator was not giving out the proper charge needed & resulted to my car losing power & eventually stalled , I replaced a recond. Valeo Alternator but the problem still persist & now I suspected the culprit should be the Ignition Switch that did not supply enough electricity to my system [ ASC , ABS & Brake indicators all light up when it happened ] But so far after that IS was repaired, so far so good till now, touch wood............ However whenever it rains heavily, water seeps into my rear seats via the rear door, anyone encounter this b4 ? I suspected the rear doors need to be adjusted to close the minor gap.</blockquote>
