managed to snap couple of photos during balik kampung recently. the staggered wheel setup with good tires really amazed me in terms of the handling.

i dont know where to check the threadwear la but i know that the tire is not going to last too long since it is semi slick hehe.

last time itchy2 want to try so install. plus not many choices available for style 66 standard tire setup. maybe next change will put normal one. thanks for the recommendation though.

Broken Valve Cover

minor update. yesterday i diy my valve cover gasket replacement. i changed because the other day there was smoke coming out from my engine compartment. from my observation i noticed the smoke came from the leaked oil burned by the exhaust manifold which i assumed might be coming from bad VCG. so i got a set of new gasket from BA and started dismantle things until i found out it was the valve cover itself that broken. apparently two nut holders in the middle that supposed to hold the cover to the engine head are broken most probably due to overtighten and this makes holes on the VCG which leads to EO leak. so i ended up buying a used valve cover from chop shop and it costed me rm450 which i think a fair price. the process of installing the VCG with new gaskets & grommets is fairly simple and quite straight forward.

fired up the car and clear the stored DTC (the neverending CEL) and walla the CEL is no longer there until now and hopefully it stays that way (touch wood). the CEL warning that appeared since i got my VCG and vanos seals replaced at the workshop is now solved. never realized all this while that the broken valve cover is the real culprit. i am one happy driver now. so anybody that faces the same neverending CEL problem might want to start checking their valve cover condition.

in continuation to my post above, i provide some photos as below.

the valve cover

the left one broken, it's plastic. note the eo residue, suspected to leak from the broken part.

the right one is also broken

also i have no idea why my angel eyes are behaving like the video whenever i turn on the ignition switch. cannot be sure either because i replaced the angel eyes bulb or because i played around with the LCM using bmw scanner 1.4. i did tick some of the boxes but cannot remember what they are.

Then after you turn on the Ignition switch everything goes back to Normal?

after i start the angel eyes still flickering but less frequent. that's when idle, no idea whether it behaves the same if car is on the move.
