Crazy day Friday, my wife was in a wreck, complete with ambulance and fire trucks. She's ok.

Anyway, the car is on hold.

So it turns out I have a leaking Oil filter housing gasket :\ $750+tax to have Hendrick BMW do it... so anyone local wanna help me do it in the parkin lot of my complex? lol I'll have beer! lolol

Go to bmw chapel Hill and get walnut blasting done they will charge u half the labor cost for oil filter housing gasket since half the labor is needed for walnut blasting anyways.

[rvruggiero]

how much do they charge for walnut blasting? This at performance BMW?

[jon_335]

When I had mine done last February, it was $400.

Quite possibly the most useful advice I've heard on this forum to date! Also, walnut blasting does wonders to your head.

Big thanks to Scout for the flash, the car is a whole new animal. I've had a couple FBO 335's before, but this is pretty damn impressive for what it is. If anyone wants to take a ride in my car to see what its all about, you're more than welcome to

Performance BMW charges 650$ now.

I just did my walnut blast at euro motors in Raleigh for $400. They have an actual BMW tech and the actual bmw equipment to do it right (trust me I researched and the guy let me hang in the back and watch the process).

Car is a brand new car. So much more responsive and no more rough idle thank god. Just ask for Chris or James. And tell him mike with the grey 335 sent you

Anybody else wants to flash message me.

Hey guys,

I'm out in Raleigh, but was wondering if anyone in around the area has any type of pre-lci alpine white front bumper for sale? I'm fine with coming out to Charlotte or out east for a pick up?

Thanks

Spotted a white e93 328 tonight on capital. Anyone on here? Lowered black wheels and front lip. Looked to me like it was wrapped some kind of satin white. Then again it was dark out so idk. Very nice car

Anyone in or around Chapel Hill/Raleigh that has one or more of the following items for sale in the near future?

JB4 (latest gen), BMS DCI, OEM Blacklines, Black Floormats, Cleaning, waxing supplies?

Let me know! Picking up my new 335i from Houston this weekend and driving it back!

Just wondering if anyone in the Raleigh area is running a 9" et35 or et30 wheel? I'm getting new wheels and trying to decide which size to get. The wheels I am looking at only come in either 8" or 9". I would love to be able to test fit a 9" wheel on the front or see some else's. It should fit (I'm mostly worried about the wheel hitting the coilovers), but seeing it for myself would make me feel better about it.

Pretty sure my wheels are 19x9 up front ET 35. I'm on stock sport suspension they fit fine on my E93.

Thanks. I've got KW V2 coilovers, which reduces clearance some. What size tires do you have? I'm hoping to run 245s.

I know E93MAC on the forums is on KW's with my wheels, and even running spacers I think. He's currently got a cool picture thread going in the pics gallery.

My tires are Falken FK453 and the 235 fits perfectly up front. I had Conti DW's and they were a bit stretched.

I did some research and I think 245 might work but there's a set of oil cooling fins inside one of the fenders that potentially rub with 245's.

[jon_335]

I'll have to look for those photos. And I didn't know about those fins. I guess I need to take a closer look. The other option is to get 8" wheels and max out at 235 tires. Just don't want them to be too meaty. My ideal is a straight up and down sidewall.

I'll go snap a pic of mine for you.

[Blindside_137]

I think the 235 is a great fit for the 9" wheel. But the previous 235 Conti was definitely stretched a bit.

[jon_335]

Thanks! Those photos are super helpful!
