Anyone else in the East End notice this strange phenomenon?

Does anybody here want to help me installing a RPI intercooler (for the price of beer or lunch or dinner [the price cannot be combined])?

My immediate projects are all house DIY. I haven't even had time to wash my car for a month now.

Jerez Black / Fox Red / Aluminum Trim / Pre-Lci / 220M M3

Jerez Black / Fox Red / Aluminum Trim / Pre-Lci / 220M E90 M3

Last night I was driving my wife's GTi home from Rona with a trunk full of bamboo flooring when I saw a flock of Mustangs and a dark BMW pull in to the parking lot.

I realized it was an E90 M that looked very similar to mine, so I did the car guy (stalker) thing and looped around, parked and walked over to the guy getting out of his car with all of his Mustang buddies.

I mentioned my car is very similar and we chatted a little bit about any others we had seen. I'm pretty sure he felt I was full of shit as he watched me climb back in my wife's red GTi and crawl out of the parking lot.

Cool

I had no shame in the game two years ago. I got on the OC Transpo bus after talking to a M3 owner. Then we met on the BMW 5 series launch party at Otto's. Yes, I was drunk and disorderly too at that party [yet entertaining enough not to be kicked out of the event].

I'm not sure about the conversions for BMW's. In the past I've used conversion kits that just replace the halogen bulbs with HID units and accompanying ballasts and there are lots of options to pick them up. Just determine the bulb fitment on your Z4 (for example my Audi was H7). Expect to pay between $250 and $325 for a set.

I bet you can get sets for less in the USA right now.

I picked up a set for my civic from a place in the states...paid 150 or so including shipping duties etc. most kits are plug and play...plug connection from old bulb into ballast, plug ballast into HID and you're good to go...

the only hiccup, I believe (but not 100% sure) is that in (some of) the newer cars they detect an issue if you change your bulbs (e.g. your bulbs are out message) but I am pretty sure there are ways around it...

try one of the forum sponsors, I believe they have kits but I cant say I've used them...

Otto's on Hunt Club brought in a fellow (Ty I think was his name) from the Richmond Road location (Otto's Subaru) for minor work on my Coupe. Great job and inexpensive. He fixed a front fang for me after I touched a curb with my M coupe.

Sorry Rob,
you are the only guy I know with a 335d.
A guy on the M3 forum in Toronto (4nroots) has a 2011 335d but I'm not sure if it has the sport package, I can only assume that it does however. You could try sending him a PM.

Say James with the Jerez M3 sedan thought he might be able to help.

Have you picked up a replacement for the BMW or will you stick to driving the P-Car?
