    I kept the swirl flaps on my M47, but I cleaned the whole manifold system (using your video on that subject) and removed the EGR so only air and oil are coming to the manifold. It’s been ~110k km since then, manifold is still perfectly clean and flaps are holding strong 💪🏻

    Hi George I'm new to BMW's I bought a really nice 2008 series 5 e61 M57 engine I bought new swirl flaps gaskets and blanking plug to find out that this does not have them it's a early 2008 I was informed it was only the later model that were discontinued. Just a quick question is it illegal to blank of egr and other items fitted when taking it for the MOT. Cheers.

    I have a 35D that needs all the deletes and a remap. Starts with 286, so it should be similar output as I probably won’t touch the turbos or intercooler. Despite twin turbos, it does still have awful lag. I hope the work will clear out some of that. It’s in my queue… 😀

      Had a ECU and gearbox remap, with a Upgraded MTC intercooler and a KN filter. Got to 392bhp and 737nm. Only problem is traction now. Wish I had the luxury of 4WD, the torque is brutal, gets too hairy on damp roads.

      Is it illegal to remove EGR and DPF?
      Although it is not illegal to remove the EGR from your vehicle, it is an offence under the Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3))1 to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet.
