Join me while I change the pressure converter/boost solenoid on my 2014 BMW 535i (F10). This video applies to all 2011 to 2017 BMW 535i’s. It may also apply to other BMW’s as well that have the BMW N55 Engine. A possible BMW trouble code of ‘30ff’ may be caused by a bad pressure converter.
The pressure converter is responsible for regulating the vacuum running to your pneumatic wastegate. Here is a great video that explains some details.
