I am thinking of picking up a used AA exhaust and I noticed some what looks like rust/discoloration. Can this be cleaned and buffed to look like new again? Has anyone experienced this?

04' 525i Fuel Trim codes?
Hey guys, got a friend with a 04' e60 with the M54 in it. Throws the CEL, drives fine but stores fuel trim codes for both banks, mixture too lean. On an E46 I know its usually a disa valve, throttle boot, oil separator hoes, sometimes maf but the M54 in the E60 the intake system is different. checked the disa/intake didn't find any air leaks. was gonna try and clean the maf next. Anyone run into this issue? tia.

Exhaust-side Timing Chain Guide Fitment Issues on S50
So I'm smack in the middle of tearing my motor down for a headgasket and lower timing cover gasket job. When I took the LTC off the intake side timing chain guide was busted, so I ordered another set from FCP. Here's where it gets weird, so hold on.
The PN in this diagram on RealOEM is 11311722654:
The PN on the old part is 1722655955397
But it's ok! Because neither the dealership nor anywhere I search has heard of either of these part numbers. When I looked on FCP they had a Febi part that was partially metal, similar to the part that came off of my car, and then they had an Genuine BMW part that was all plastic.
The part I ordered was the genuine BMW part listed as 11311703717 and said it had "confirmed fitment" on an S50. The Febi part they sell is 11311726503 and also says "confirmed fitment." I bought the genuine one because I figured OEM would be a safer bet, but I guess not.
The problem is where the rail mounts on it's dowel pin, there's a solid 1/2in of extra space behind it compared to the old part which sits flush.
Here's the gap with the new one installed.
Looking at the RealOEM diagram it appears that dowel pin has a nut on it, similar to the dowels for the intake side chain rail, but when I search for that PN, the images that come up just show a plain dowel like the one installed in my car.
Has anyone else run into this? Why is this a documentation black hole?! Should I call FCP and ask them to send me the Febi part and try that one? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

E90 overheating - tested the water pump seems to be ok.
Hi Everyone
I am new to posting but have spent may hour researching how to maintain my 2003 Z4. Thank you for everyone that posts useful information.
I bought a 2006 323 about a month ago and have not had any problems with it. On the way home yesterday the yellow overheating water light came on shortly followed by the red. I pulled over and let the vehicle cool down and limped home.
I ran the diagnostic by checking the operation of the water pump by bleeding the system and the water pump seems to be working fine. The water pump failure seems to be the main problem that is mentioned.
I have read that the thermostat fails in the open position and that would result in the car running cold. I should also get a check engine light. Hence I do not think it is the thermostat.
When I started the car this morning to have a brief look at it, the cooling fan activated intermittently but not at full speed. I don't think there is a problem with the fan as it was running full speed when the car was overheating the day before.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the car is overheating?
Is there a way to check the temperature sensor?
Thanks for your help.
