Those might be YOUR part numbers but there are 3 different types of shocks that come on a AH3.

And your point is?
Seriously, I don't understand what prompted you to even post that, so please explain.

You make it sound as 1 size fits all. It doesn’t.

Which part of that "makes it sound like one size fits all". Again (in th ewords of an infamous Aussie politician) Please Explain...

Easy. Should have posted.

“I have the rare EDC Adaptive M Suspension on my AH3 and the part numbers are Front - 31316791555
Rear - 335267911588

If your AH3 came with a M Suspection or Stock Suspension, the part numbers are different”

Would gave been much more helpful.

Sorry, dude. I assumed you'de be intelligent enough to work that out for yourself. Clearly I gave you too much credit.

BTW I don't have EDC Adaptive M Suspension. You should have posted "Should have posted I have the stock Suspension on my AH3 and the part numbers are xxx"

Should I get upset about you posting inaccurate stuff? Do you even have an AH3, and if not, why are you trying to police this thread?

I think you need to think about why you are getting butt-hurt about an innocuos forum post that doesn't reference you in any way, and consider getting professional help (or, you know, a life).

I hope you manage to get over it soon.

Upcoming projects:

• CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner
• https://burgertuning.com/products/bm...29523289079923

[Mikewrite]

Did the intake valve spray clean, through the MAP sensor port just before the throttle body, and cleaned the MAP and MAF sensors with CRC MAF cleaner while I was at it. Changed oil a day later. Noticeable difference! But with that as the first such cleaning in the car's 130k+ miles, I will do it again in 1,000 miles as per CRC's recommended interval. Then I'll do it before every oil change.

This time I just stuck a piece of clear plastic gas-siphon tubing I had in the house into the MAP port. But it barely fit as it was too big to actually push into the hole, which meant it was also too big for a snug fit of the sprayer tube at the other end. For the next clean I will use a narrower tube, threaded through a hole I will drill in a small rubber stopper that will snug into the MAP port. I think this will provide stronger suction of the cleaner into the throtlle body and maybe disperse it more effectively throughout the intake manifold.

Anyway, beats paying a thousand bucks or whatever the shop would charge me for walnut blast, a procedure I will not attempt myself.

As for the Burger Motorsports oil catch can, I have attempted for the second time to ask them if their unit for 2012-2016 335 F30 N55 cars fits my 2013 AH3. I can't see why it wouldn't but want confirmation. They did not amswer my first email. I do like that their unit uses larger hoses to keep the crankcase pressure what it is without the catch can installed.

Worked fine on mine

[Mikewrite]

Yeah they answered me yesterday and said that. Getting when my budget allows.

Made a short vid of a quick hack to make it easier to inject the CRC GDI IVD valve cleaner into the throttle body. Short version: A 00 rubber stopper snugs perfectly into the hole where the MAP sensor inserts into the intake at the throttle body; a silicone tube through a hole drilled in the stopper lets you inject the spray perfectly into the intake pipe, and the snug fit of tube through stopper, stopper into port and the product's spray arm into the other end of the tube ensures good suction of the spray bursts down the tube and into the intake. Make the gizmo once, use it over and over in the future.

This trick should work for any car where the insertion point you use has a round port; find the size rubber stopper that gives you a snug fit.

Just hoping you may know, How do I even find my VIN number can’t find it in the door outer frame?

Realoem.com in not precise at all. Shows all options for your model year.

As for finding VIN, Bill of Sale, Title, Registration, Insurance Docs, Driver door / B column, Windshield slot, possibly Engine Compartment, some are behind rear license plate or simply read the car with an ODB scanner.

If you still cannot find it, you are out of luck.

Hey guys AH3 owner here, so curious to see if anyone else that owns one has re mapped it yet ? I have stage 1 ecu and the re mapped gearbox 8speed transition, (XHP ZF) she’s a beast but haven’t jumped on a Dyno yet
Any know how accurate the sports displays are on these bad boys?

All of the information below is also featured in a POV drive I just released, but here is every important detail we know in text form. Feel free to discuss the car and ask for help here.

The BMW Active Hybrid 3 is one of the rarest BMW's today with a global production of only 5,105 manufactured cars. The "AH3" is built on 335i with the N55 engine and F30 chassis, adding a High-Voltage battery on top for extra 55 horsepower. As a counter, there is a weight-addition from the battery.

As of 2022, if your high-voltage battery dies, you would be quoted around $10,000 for a replacement in the U.S, whereas in Finland the replacement is 2,600 €. Other EU countries hover around 6,000 €. The Active Hybrid 3 might not be worth it for Americans unless the battery has already been changed or you find a salvaged battery. The 8-year warranty period has just run out. In the EU I'd say it's highly worth it. At this point it's cheaper to ship the car from the US to Finland and have the work done than do it locally in the US.

So why would you buy an Active Hybrid 3 instead of a 335i? Used AH3's are typically well equipped, nearly maxed, and tax is cheap due to it being a hybrid. However, the vehicle doesn't arguably save you any gas. It is simply not an economic car; The hybrid battery is there to [...]

Don’t suppose you know the bolt sizes for the engine bay across the front of the ah3? Are they m6’s? Mine rusty wanna replace clean it all up 💰🙏🏻

Are you referring to bolts that keep the front bumper in place?

I would peruse realoem.com and find the bolts you need.
