where you getting any codes? what were the symptoms?

@psmith95 so that's what this was the whole time. I didn't even consider a boost leak. Sometimes it's the simplest (relatively speaking) things... Like last night the TV stops working, I find the dog has pulled the power cord out of the wall (meanwhile I've checked all the video cables, etc.) #smh

Well I had some rear o2 codes but I think that's a different issue altogether. Symptoms were when I would log the car and do a virtual dyno it was putting out nowhere near the power it should. For example, with 8 gallons of E85 running map 7 I was making 350whp... A few months ago I was making over 400 with only 3 gallons of E85 on map 5. I also did pulls with some friends to confirm this and didn't pull nearly as much on them as I used to so I knew something was up

Hahah i know I couldn't believe it was something like that... I was starting to think I blew a ringland or a piston or something internal was messed up. Hopefully everything will be good after this.

This inbox is clear. You gotta message me on this account (psmith95), my original account (psmitty95) is banned until September 8th.... The mods don't like me arguing with Shiv in the N54 section...

Hahahaha the sig is too full as is... Oddly enough no. In my state you are supposed to have a front plate but it seems like none of the cops here care. Nobody in my family runs a front plate and we have never been bothered about it.

mikelarnaldo · 09-23-2013, 11:58 PM

love you car man! if you don't mind, I'll be using you car to help me decide what to do with mine. I drive a 09 328xi sedan space grey.

Your car is beautiful. I never liked the sedan, but yours changed my mind. Well done.
