Any problems with Xdrive with the 235 and 275 though running a -0.4% difference between front and rear?

Right?! Next car will not be AWD lol. I did a ton a research on this, its actually closer if you do the math. I just used the tire calculator under the wheels & tires sub, its like a .08% difference. Still anything under 1% or so shouldn't cause any issues. I havent had any issues anyhow, just gotta stay away from the curb with that stretched tire lol

MHD Stage 2 map flashed. Such smooth power delivery. Switched to linear throttle, takes a bit to get used to but seems a lot more manageable.

Nice! Any reason you went linear over stock? Honestly I never tried it so I am curious, but the way it was explained to me I just took it as a "turbo lag" feeling, is that the case?

I thought the stock throttle was a bit jumpy, so figured I might as well try linear. It just makes more sense now that the more you push the pedal, it represents how much it opens up.

Cool cool...I guess my question is besides personal preference, is linear safer/less demanding on the throttle body? hmm I wonder

The TB is controlled by an electric motor I doubt either effect it in a negative way. I guess linear should be a smoother opening but TB failures are not common on this engine afaik.

I tried linear and didn't like it and kept it the 'stock way' to each their own. Linear might be better for autoX. Be fun to try linear again with the 3+ clutch as before I tried it on the stock clutch. But that would mean going to a canned tune so I guess it wouldn't be apples to apples...

How about these new turbo hybrid options?!?! If they can make 500+ whp on 93 I'm going to be so pumped. That should mean 550 on meth which is MORE than enough for my DD...

I want a DCT m3 bad...but it's going to be hard to convince the wife of a new car. I think i'm stuck with the 335 for a while which isn't a bad thing per se...Maybe next year if sales go well. I have some big plans but none of it is car related. I also did just buy that wagon E91. Decisions decisions. like buy a watch of m3 for instance. or buy a boat or a watch. I still want the watch as it's a lifetime investment(or that is what I tell myself)


When is your steering setup going to be complete? I gotta try that whole set up out.


Final Fantasy 7 remake was announced!?!?!!?! Now I have a reason to buy a PS4.

Setup is going to be completed around September, as I am waiting for parts to arrive. Fanatec just announced a new version of their pedal set, I heard rumors of this so now I can finally order a set. Item will also ship at the end of August

Yep, read that yesterday. I have ESO to keep me busy til then

Personally, I'd buy a watch but it's your money

Your 335 is fine. Just wash it for once, and buy a watch.

Anyone successfully coded out the E92 amber led in the corner of the headlight? I saw how to cut the wire behind the harness cover, but would like to avoid that.

I was told this works in the BMW what app. I forget the name, but I did see it & mine is disabled.

Now I had the opposite issue, I was trying to enable that feature since the 3 LEDs are white however I found out I have no power to those 3 lights since I retrofitted the lights so I gave up lol. This is all for an e90, so I can't say if the options are the same for an e92

I have the BMWhat App as well (Carly) and tried with no luck. It's different for the E92s, apparently works on the E90s.
