I've been noticing a few "normal everyday technician" problems you guys have been running into. I'm a foreman at a shop on Kauai and was lucky enough to come see your stuff at sema this year, but I wanted to say if you guys need tech support, I'd be happy to help with what I can. It would be easier if you can get ahold of a decent scan tool just so be able to get me the codes.
Tj the power supply code you are probably getting is more than likely caused by your modifications that require supply power I know it may sound crazy but it’s probably due to your quick jacks failing might have caused an electrical module to fail
These problems are not your run of the mill problems that a mom and pop shop usually encounter. These are specific BMW module interference issues with the modifications the vehicle has had. A “decent scan tool” won’t help you at all with this.
The clunk is the brake pad. The ap racing caliper are designed for enduraence racing and the pads is free to move in the caliper, you need their spring kit to put pressure on the pad to minimize noise. But there will still be some chatter since they are for race tracks and not sema.
The power issue usually means you need to calibrate/register the battery with a scan tool. Bimmercode/bimerlink or Protool work well if you can't get a hold of ISTA. The radars do need to be up against the bumper, pointing in the right area, and able to penetrate the material. Edit: Saw Ian had Protool.
great work guys...i work in collision repair...Those "boxes" at the rear of the car probably need recalibrating if they are what i think they are.. super annoying
As someone who also works in that industry I laughed so hard when they said they wanted to make it streetable after taking every safety and other needed sensors for “Oem” cars to work right. Yeah goooood luck on that, easier to throw motec in it than figure this nightmare out lol
@johnathanromero3944 i dont know about the laws across the states, im in New Zealand so would be a mission here, but I'm sure these guys will do what it takes for us to see it on the street
The restraint system error that you have on your M4 right now is regarding with the hood restraint system if I'm correct because I just watched Mat Armstrong's full rebuild on his M5 and he also had the same error. Basically what that error is is that when you hit a pedestrian the hood will have a support for the pedestrian.
I am glad you are fixing that terrible exhaust. Like when you strait piped your BRZ, they sound absolutely terrible. And the headlight being the number one comment? Nah, it was the terrible wheel fitment. I get it, it is a race car kit on a street car and it can only go so low before you are literally dragging the car on the ground but that is why this will always not be a complete success of a build. Did you get the kit to fit? Sure. That actually isn't that hard with enough cutting and just planning it out. But does it actually look good? No. Not with the massive 2 bedroom apartment that separates the wheel from the fender.
The power supply code can be a number of things but the first thing that came to my mind is the IBS module. If Ian can figure out if/why the IBS isn’t reading right then that could possibly fix the problem
Those are your Blind spot monitors and they are very sensitive radars that require calibrations, if they are not in the original spots then it’ll be really hard to get them to calibrate
IDK if this will work on the M4, when I lowered my Audi and was hearing noise similar to what you're describing. I cut the bump stops and haven't heard the noise since.
I know there are a few cars that will have issues like that if they’re equipped with auto start/stop because there’s a secondary battery. I’m not too familiar with the g82 but I’d check that if you have auto start/stop
The lithium ion battery of the m4 have an extra plug on the side of the battery (very small) and you may also need to calibrate the battery. Maybe this will help
BUILT FOR CONTROL Each race is a balance of strength and finesse, aggression and control. The BMW M4 GT3 comes with a lighter engine, efficient drivetrain and upgraded systems to give the driver complete control in every corner and straightaway.
Those are your blind spot monitors, they need recalibrated if you turn on and off the vehicle once they are unplugged. If elitek is out there in cali I’d use them since they come to you. If not the BMW dealer should be able to calibrate them.
bmw's can be scary. I had a clunking noise over bumps, thought it was shock mounts, shock, etc. turned out the diffuser bracket was broken and its made from hard plastic, that would knock against each other - repaired that and clunking noise is gone.
Love when you drop around 530 I've deadass watched every single video since you started your chanle almost exactly 10 or so minutes after you drop it man keep pushing yourself to do more tj you've inspired me to do alot with my life fr
You guys are talking about wheel gap but did you guys see the front lip when he was driving it in the parking lot. It’s probably like 2 inches from the floor. How is he supposed to go lower. That lip probably cost like 10k+
The thing about the newer BMW's is that they have 2 batteries. A normal battery and a lithium battery. Now usually the power issue can come down to 1 of 2 things. Either the regular battery was low at some point and the vehicle didnt receive correct power. If this happens it can be something as simple as an DME reset. If not, and the lithium battery was affected because the car was sitting without a charge, then it could be fixed with programming update, but I have seen it plenty of times that the Lithium battery needed to be replaced completely. Have also seen the code go away before if the battery was just low and not completely dead, by just driving/leaving the car running. BMW's are really weird with battery/power when its low/left without charge for an extended period of time.
I believe you with the clank noise thing lol was happening to my gti literally tightened all bolts on and around my suspension maybe a quarter turn And complete silence 🤷♂️😂
Awesome video as always TJ Hunt and Crew. The BMW M4 GT3 is so sick and insane can't wait to see it ripping up the track and to see who wins the R34 GT-T.
Just saw the gt3 shirt on the website and had to order it with a purple keychain, so excited to open it when it arrives, sending some love from Australia!❤
New wheels would make it alot nicer, those wheels dont go with it.. needs dark wheels!!! The outer lip in chrome makes it look smaller like the rim is the size of the gold part and makes the wheel well look even bigger than it allready is!
Tj said the headlight was the number one comment ? Maury determined that was a lie 😂 the fitment / wheels was OVERWHELMINGLY the biggest comment. Fitment is bad dude, glad your changing the exhaust though it sounds horrible and like angry fat bees in a coffee can. Also with the acceleration issue, does that car have mafs? If so were they bypassed in tuning ? Or could one be bad?
I have an uncle who is the lead BMW tech of San diego for 20 years, hes in his own shop with a friend at DrivenSD if u still got some problems hes probably the go to His name is Ilya
