I mean you could soak it with PB blaster, or whatever you favorite is, over night. Hit it every couple hours. Hopefully by the morning you can move it...never had to mess with them yet...though my e92 is starting to rattle a bit...

Good luck man. That stinks. I know Sudbury mentioned to me "it would've been different if you have downpipes..."

Fix my wastegate rattle. Install charge pipe and bov. Get tuned beyond cobb maps. Maybe some struts/springs.

Sudbury and another BMW dealership said the same thing when I called. No downpipes. If my rattle gets really bad I guess I will take them off and buy some used stock DPs and install them...really not looking forward to that...but free new turbos + install is worth hours on my back...it only rattles when cold currently.

Z I don't see you listing your mod plans As far as mods honestly just getting it fully detailed and then having a photo shoot w/ Matt this spring. After the two e90s last year the wife is adamant this year money goes into the house. I'm still going to find a way to pick up the CF side splitters...I'm basically doing all cosmetic mods next(trunk, rear bumper, insert, tips, LCI F&R). I really want to see how all of these ST kits roll out this year.


Still down for some AutoX and Dragstrip trips if anyone is down.

Install the few mods I have waiting: BMS CDV, LCI tails, Osram CBI D1S', OEM High Kick Spoiler...

Hoping to get a few other things from JGMods, and VRSF soon. Detailing wise, I want to kick it up a notch this year. Trying new stuff from Chemical Guys, and want to give Leatherique a shot for the interior.
I'd like to get the suspension done as well (M3 arms, Swift springs, haven't decided on struts) but trying to pace myself.

I'm down to try AutoX, but I do want a few more prep mods. New fluids, front tires, etc..

I know the detailer at Driven Perfection. He's an old Maxima guy too, he bought my 350Z Tracks haha. Good guy, and I've seen his work. The tough part is location and scheduling.

My Brother had his car done at Driven Perfection and was very happy.

My friend just had his E63 done at the place in Wellesley. $190 and it was immaculate. I was really surprised at the job they did for the money. Details Etc on RT9 Natick/Wellesley line.

I just installed eibach/koni with supreme lowering perches. Have an intercooler going on shortly. Also am prepping a set of Linea Corse Z2S 19s for paint, going gloss black.

Anyone interested in AutoX let me know. We can cruise up to devens and you'll be hooked. Don't worry about modding your car to win, it's all in good fun.

Hows was the install? Pics?

What are you doing about the lip on the rims? Always liked those rims, what were they before?

I'm really interested in trying AutoX and I am like 15m from Devens. Let me know!

Did you have to buy new top hats from BMW to convert the xi tops to rwd for the lowering perches? I've been wanting my front lower even w the KWs all the way down.
