BMW E70 Chassis Dynamics

If a lateral tire force is acting on the wheel, a braking or accelerating force (tangential tire force) can only build up in a longitudinal direction up to the maximum total force (resulting force on surface). When this is reached, the wheel locks or spins. Conversely, only a limited lateral cornering force (lateral tire force) can be achieved under braking. If this is exceeded, the wheel slips in a lateral direction. This causes the vehicle to skid. If a braking force takes effect, the full lateral cornering force can be established in accordance with the radius of the Kamm's circle.

In the same way, the full braking or acceleration force can be established when the vehicle is driving straight ahead (again according to the radius). This relationship shows that acceleration or braking that is too rapid under cornering can cause the vehicle to skid, as any longitudinal force on the wheel, whether it serves to accelerate or brake, inevitably results in a failure of the lateral cornering forces. The radius of the Kamm's circle depends on the friction coefficient between the tire and the road, i.e. on the tire, the road surface and the road conditions. If the road is wet, for example, the radius is considerably smaller than if the road is dry.

BMW R1150GS cruise control

How to determine what type of brake calipers and ABS sytem is fitted. During development of the cruise control for the R1150GS we have been aware that there are two different types of front brake caliper and two different ABS systems fitted to this model, and some bikes without ABS. In order to supply the correct kit for the bike, we need to know what type of front brake calipers your bike has, and what ABS system (if any) the bike has. This is easy to determine by following the instructions below. Identifying the front brake calipers. The earlier models were fitted with Brembo brake calipers.

Later models were fitted with the Evolution brake package. This included these calipers, labeled with the BMW logo. Please specify what type of brake calipers are fitted to your bike, Brembo or BMW Evolution.

ABS (Anti-lock) brake system identification.
ABS brakes were an optional extra on the R1150GS. Some bikes will not have ABS brakes fitted. Some models were fitted with ABS 2 braking system. Later models were fitted with ABS 3 (Integral ABS). Se need to know what ABS system is fitted to the bike. If there is no tone wheel (a metal ring with multiple slots) fitted inside the left front brake disc on the front wheel, then the bike does not have ABS brakes.

Step by step guide to installing the SMT6

This guide focuses on the standard installation of an SMT6 unit. For help with non-standard tuning applications, such as the turbo nitrous control, please refer to the Application Notes. Application Notes can be found under the “Downloads” section on our website www.perfectpower.com.

Please send any comments or suggestions to info@perfectpower.com. It is not recommended to complete an installation by wiring everything at once. The reason is that should a problem occur, it could be difficult to isolate it. It is best to divide the installation into its separate components, and complete each component successfully, step by step. It will be useful if you are familiar with wiring diagrams as a wiring diagram can help you save time. However, wiring diagrams should only be used as a reference, as it may be possible that the diagram is not compatible with your particular car. By following the installation step by step, you can confirm that you have the correct signals with an oscilloscope. If you don’t have an oscilloscope (scope) when doing an installation, this step by step installation guide will at least help isolate any problems, should one occur.

BMW E46 M3 & 3 Series E36 3 Series Front Installation Instructions

Most 17” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper for a 328mm or 332mm rotor kit. For a 355mm kit, a minimum 18” wheel is typically required, and for a 380mm rotor kit, a minimum 19” wheel is needed. The more critical clearance, however, is the gap between the spokes of the wheel and the face of the caliper. Do not assume that a larger-diameter wheel will automatically clear the face of the caliper.

To determine the actual metal-to-metal distance from the stock rotor face to the inside of the wheel spokes, refer to the StopTech website at www.stoptech.com, and click on the ‘Wheel Fitment Charts’ link at the bottom of the home page. BEFORE printing out a copy of the wheel fitment drawing for your vehicle, click on the ‘How do I use the charts?’ link at the top of the page, and review the instructions carefully, to ensure that you have a full understanding of how to accurately measure the critical wheel clearances. Only then should you click on the link for your vehicle, and print out the appropriate wheel fitment drawing, to use as a measurement template.

It is very important that you verify the accuracy of the scale of the printout by matching both a width and length dimension on your vehicle. Dimensions are shown in millimeters, but one dimension in each direction is also shown in inches, and StopTech recommends adding at least 2mm of additional clearance to these dimensions. Follow the instructions carefully, to produce a fitment template, and take care to ensure that your measurements are very precise. If you have any questions or difficulties, please contact the StopTech Customer Service Department on (310) 325-4799 - extension 105, or send an e-mail to support@stoptech.com.

2000+ BMW X5 Front Installation Instructions

Most 18” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper on a 355mm kit. However, the more critical clearance is the gap between the spokes of the wheel and the face of the caliper. Do not assume that a 19”, 20” or even 24” wheel will clear the face of the caliper. The actual metal-to-metal distance measured from the stock rotor face to the inside of the wheel spokes is 62.25mm for the BMW X5 front kit. StopTech recommends at least 2mm of additional clearance. See the Wheel Fitment Drawing page on the StopTech website for more specific measurements, at www.stoptech.com. Note: Final fitment of the wheel to the caliper is the responsibility of the customer.

Wheel Spacers
Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required. Note: The Wheel Industry Council has issued guidelines advising that wheel spacers not be used. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.

BMW E36 with M42 engine Oxygen Sensor Wiring Harness Voluntary Recall Campaign

BMW of North America, Inc. has voluntarily initiated a recall campaign which involves the oxyge sensor wiring harness of the affected vehicles. The potential defect is due to a possible incorrect oxygen sensor harness routing during production. The oxygen sensor harness may have been mistakenly secured with clips to the exhaust heat shield and/or to a bracket on the transmission housing. Due to the movement between the vehicle body, transmission and exhaust system the oxygen sensor harness may stretch and break over time causing the check engine light to illuminate an fault code 70, (oxygen sensor disconnected) to set in the DME.

This Recall Campaign affects E36 318i vehicles with M42 engines produced from 8/94 - 12/95. The procedure given in this bulletin must be performed on all affected vehicles identified on DCS. (A copy of the letter which will be sent to all affected customers is attached to this S.I.) In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this recall, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the DCS (Dealer Communication System). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action. The Chassis Number Ranges listed below are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor. The affected vehicles are limited to vehicles within these ranges but not all of these vehicles are affected by the recall. The final decision is the DCS inquiry.

BMW Wiring Repair Procedure for Firing Circuits of Airbag Systems

Damaged or defective wires and connectors (e.g. chaffed insulation, broken connector pins, torn crimping) in airbag firing circuits, will cause the airbag light (SRS light) to illuminate, and will set fault code "resistance too high" in airbag control module.

It is acceptable to repair (replace) individual pairs of firing circuit wires by using "Airbag Repair Cable" kits, crimping connectors and insulation shrink tubing. Part numbers for the assortment of "Airbag Repair Cable" kits are listed in the BMW Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) sections 61 12 19, and 61 12 40. A detailed repair procedure can be found in the BMW Technical Information System (TIS), Repair Instruction RA 72 12 à "Repairing airbag cables".
IMPORTANT:
-- Only one crimping connector can be fitted into a single wire of the airbag firing circuit.
-- The firing circuit wires cannot be lengthened as a result of the repair.
-- Any damage to wires or connectors (for the side airbag firing circuit) in the door wiring harness must be repaired by replacing the entire door wiring harness.

BMW E34 Touring Rear Wire Harness Repair Layout

The repair wiring harnesses for E34 touring models are universal for ALL applications (Europe, Japan, US, etc). The part numbers, as noted in other resources like ETK/websites are:
61 10 8 365 702 Right main harness
61 10 8 365 704 Left main harness
61 12 8 355 153 Rear window defroster
63 25 8 359 099 High mount stop light

The high mount stop light wires (two wires in one sheath), and window defroster wires (two wires in one sheath), connect directly to plug ends behind the grommets where the harnesses enter the D pillar. If you observe how things are assembled as you are taking the old wiring out, you will see how they should go back together. At the other end of the respective wiring, the high mount stop light has two spade ends that connect to the back of the stop light, while the defroster wiring needs to be spliced in to the leads coming off the grid on the rear window. Cut the existing ones 4 or 5 inches from where they are attached to the window and solder and shrink wrap the new ends to them.

BMW 1985 – 325e Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement

Some people say that this job can easily be done with the hood on the car. I found it MUCH easier with the hood off as I ran into a few problems and had better reach with the hood off. Before removing the hood, trace the hinges with a Sharpie or other pen so alignment is easy when you put the hood back on. Mark everything well. Here I’ve marked the proper wiring attachments for the radiator electronics.

Drain the coolant from the system, and make sure you also drain the engine block by unscrewing the 19mm drain plug by the exhaust manifold.
Remove the radiator by unhooking the shroud, hanging it on the fan, disconnect the top hoses and the bottom hose, and undo the two bolts and remove it.

Removal: The Fan & Clutch, the water pump pulley, the distributor cap & rotor and the drive belts.
Remove the fan & clutch. Remember, the 32mm nut opens CLOCKWISE as you look at the car. I used Channel-Locks and a strap wrench to hold the pulley still. I also used the strap wrench to hold the water pump pulley while I removed its 4 retaining bolts.

ECG Operations Quality Manual

This Operations Quality Manual is an ECG publication written in consultation and collaboration with the quality departments of the following car manufacturers: BMW, Daimler AG, Ford, General Motors, Mitsubishi, Nissan, SEAT, Toyota and Volvo.

The idea of establishing common quality standards for the whole industry was born from a commitment shared by the logistics service providers and the manufacturers to improve operational efficiencies by reducing duplication of activities due to the lack of harmonization. Indeed, the standardization of practices will also lead to a reduction in the damage rates and a more rapid and effective handling of the cars.

This manual is intended to be used as a management/supervisory guide when training staff on handling procedures. This should ensure a consistent approach. Copies of this manual can be downloaded free of charge from www.eurocartrans.org.

The present manual is only the first step on the path towards a broader harmonization in the industry. The establishment of common damage codes with a table of translation to the manufacturers’ own codes as well as the harmonization of audit procedures will be done in the near future. A permanent Working Group coordinated by ECG and gathering delegates of logistics companies and manufacturers will be responsible for supervising this work and, if necessary, extending the cooperation between the LSPs and the OEMs to other fields.

BMW Rescue Manual Information for Rescue Services 2003

Optimum safety under all conditions is a natural development objective for BMW products. Bringing about the "Ultimate Driving Machine" thus does not just amount to providing attractive and technically sophisticated vehicles. It is just as natural for BMW to have a suitable safety concept.

The BMW safety philosophy is impressively reasserted by the introduction of the "Intelligent Safety Information System", ISIS for short, beginning with the E65 model series. This is based on the approach of considering all systems in their entirety, i.e. precise coordination of all active and passive safety systems. This stretches far beyond merely satisfying the legal requirements and also takes into account the necessary technical preconditions for life-saving applications.

In effect, this involves providing specific information on dealing with the BMW restraint and safety systems and tips on using rescue equipment. This brochure contains all the information on airbags needed for rescue operations incl. ITS (Inflatable Tubular Structure = head airbag) and AITS (Advanced ITS), seatbelt tensioners, rollover protection, safety battery terminal, side-impact protection, tips for using rescue equip- ment and installation drawings of the battery and tank. All details refer exclusively to factory-installed systems in BMW and MINI cars.

CS1000 Fault Code Scanner BMW Instructions

All 1989-94 BMW vehicles are equipped with a self diagnostic system for the detection of injection faults. When a fault is detected by the system the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) records the code corresponding to the defect in the ECU's memory until either:
1) The vehicle battery or the ECU is disconnected.
2) The engine is started 60 times with no recurrence of the fault.
3) The ECU memory is cleared using the BMW MODIC, DIS, Bosch KTS300, KTS500, or the Baum Tools CS1000 or CS2000 BMW hand held scanner.

To review the FAULT CODES from the ECU memory use the following procedure:
1) Turn the ignition switch to the 'engine run' position.
2) Depress the gas pedal to the floor 5 times.
The CHECK ENGINE light will blink out the FAULT CODES starting with the lowest number first. These FAULT CODES consist of 4 digits each separated by a short pause (ie. blink pause blink blink pause blink pause blink translates as 1 2 1 1)
