I love INVO tires I had them on my truck and loved them, expensive though. I normally get the FK452 good bang for your buck I found them to be a little louder then normally but nothing over bearing. The general exclaim, on tire rack, rates pretty high on wet/dry traction. And they are cheap.

Yea, I think I might go with the Hankook V12's




After reading all this new stuff Shiv is doing, even though I didnt really like him at first, I might be switching over to PROcede. Its only $645 right now, and the JB4 upgrade is $85 I just found out. I think I would rather sell the JB3 and spend $200.

Oh and I tried to get the LSD in today and I don't even have the right tools so I am going to have to end up bringing it to a place to have it installed. Kind of pissed.

No there is a new version that came out along with their website, its really cool. Its $645 for everyone and I would sell my JB3 for $425~ so it would be a cheap upgrade. http://www.procedetuning.com/

I am excited to see what these single turbos he has listed are, that is something I plan on doing this summer or next fall.

Yeah I see that, I shall be buying procede soon now. As for the diff you have to have the certain size press tools that pull and press the bearings in and out. Only like a transmission shop or something will be able to do it. Trust me if you are going to get the LSD, buy it from someone with it already installed. Also, if you are going to install it yourself once you get it, you have to have this special massive wrench that AR design sells to get the drive shaft off. Also, It is so tight that the car has to be on a lift to be able to put a pipe on the wrench to have enough leverage to turn it. It can't be done on jack stands, trust me I found all this depressing news out today.

Yea, defiantly tell me how much it costs to install. And I think im going to upgrade my JB3 really soon, I need the DP fix, CEL and SES lights are getting annoying quick. When are you installing your downpipes? Im really debating whether I should get some catless mid pipes right now or just wait for a full exhaust system down the road.

I wouldn't get catless midpipes. My old car had no cats on it and it as miserable, it smelled so bad. I would just change the mufflers, or do something along those lines.

Yea I wouldn't like that, I was just thinking for performance and a little extra sound. I don't notice any smell at all with catless downpipes.

Thats b/c you still have 2 other cats in there, the car will still pass emissions. But if you get rid of them you can't have the windows down in traffic b/c it smells so bad.

Yea, defiantly dont want that. I think im just going to go with Charge pipe and BOV for now instead. Im running out of performance mods
Guess it is time to save up and get a single turbo kit right when I hit 50,000 miles. But that might take a while.

in Houston they are helling alot of 2007/2008 335i coupes for cheap like 25k-30k with like 20,000 milages around there. go on ebay n look around and see if the seller is in houston and call em up and nogociate. i almost had a fully loaded red on red M5 2009 with 25k milages on it for 58k with 6 years/100k milages too. but insurance was too much. the pain in buying cars in diffrent state is going to get it or shipping is too expensive and u gotta go see the car first before buy because you wouldnt like to bring it home and find poo poo under your seat LOL!. goodluck man. or the best way is go to dealership and see if you can find some certified used. they can search all over the states and trade their cars for another one for you.

Anyone want to buy a JB3 from me? Just a feeler right now, but if someone offers I will most likely sell it. Im about to have so many mods that PROcede is probably necessary. JB3 is defiantly a great tune to get you started though. Especially if you just want something really simple.

yeah I see that....I've been on ebay/cars.com/autotrader I've been looking hard. Shipping i didn't think shipping was that bad I shipped a non-running car for like $400 buck. But as long as it is in an 8 hour radius I'll drive to get it. I've been using bmwusa.com under there bmw search option and haven't found anything. I found on in NJ silver/coral red/6spd/idrive and they only wanted $25k I have a friend that stays about 3 hours from NJ so....

But i'm looking super hard!!!
