I'm down for a meet as long as it's not on a weekend at 9am.

zain1003 · 10-15-2015, 11:37 AM

Anyone able to meet up today to code my e92 n52? Cash in hand!

zmon1300 · 10-15-2015, 08:36 PM

Okay great. glad we can still do one season ending meet! Does anyone have connections with landlords with big parking lots! If so pm me!

Thanks

Long_Wang · 10-22-2015, 12:54 PM

anyone have sedan blacklines they were thinking of selling?

jeffulus · 11-24-2015, 12:39 PM

Hey Chicago, and other Bimmerpost members! My name is Jeff and I just purchased my first BMW! It's been a long time in the making, and I'm excited to modify and enjoy my 2011 335i Black xdrive sedan for many years to come. My last car was a VW GTI, and while I'm sad to have said goodbye to the workhorse, I'm really loving the N54 E90 Engine and components. Anyhow, nice to met you all, and if any of you have any advice for jumping right in (tires, tuning, etc) I'm all ears. In the meantime I'll keep reading as much as I can.
Regards!
Jeffulus (Chi-town!!)

Hey jeffulus, welcome to the platform! Any pics of the new wheels? And where are you at in Chitown?

jeffulus · 11-25-2015, 03:27 PM

Thanks for the welcome! I will grab some pics soon. I live in the Oak Park area.

Quick question fellas. I've been searching for winter tires to put on my stock rims. They currently come stock with 225/45/17 rubbers but I found a great deal on a set of 225/50/17 for the winter. I'm guessing there shouldn't be any problems since it's only small difference but it should fit without any problems I'm hoping. Thank you and have a Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

gary88 · 11-28-2015, 10:11 AM

That shouldn't be a problem, less than 1/2" difference. Speedometer will read slightly slower though.

gary88 · 11-28-2015, 10:12 AM

wtf where did post counts go

mithiral67 · 11-29-2015, 06:07 PM

Long_Wang · 11-29-2015, 09:50 PM

Red rocket is still on summers and not stored yet, thanks global warming.

To the driver of the titanium silver metallic preLCI E92 335xi with the high kick spoiler spotted on Algonquin and 53 south this morning.

I knew you were trying to do a pull, yes the road was open, my oil temp was at 78° maybe next time.

Be safe out there!
