Hello all, i have a 2005 E61 525d. And i want to hear the turbo while driving. I had an E39 530d where the turbo was noticeably louder. So i was wondering if there was any silencer somewhere in the intake system muffling the turbo. I know i can make a cold air intake that will mount directly...

Hi all, I have a problem with my (usually) trusty 525d touring (187,000 miles, dubious quality of previous owners). It stalled out on me in very wet weather & wouldn't restart. Plenty of battery power but just a click-click or sometimes ugly rattle when I turned the key. Recovery guy put a...
