I bought a Optimal aftermarket crankshaft sensor for my BMW. It was decent price. So full of expectations I replaced oem part. It’s simple procedure. Then suprise! Car won’t start! After some research I found out that pins are not the same. Optimal should be quality replacement parts from germany. Now I don’t know am […]

I wanted air filter which can be maintained. I found pipercross air filter online for 40 eur. You must clean it every 30 000km. Stock filter is recommended to change every 30 00km and it costs aprox 20-30 euros. K&N costs more than 70 eur. It also looked like engine can’t get enough air into […]
