Well from what I see its the SAS (steering angle sensor) I just got the start up assitance off warning. I'm taking it to German tomorrow to see what it is.

Intake? with a tune and downpipes that will help you a little. Another upgrade is run e85, JB4 has e85 maps. I have been running it in my car and the power is unreal. But besides those there really isn't much more you can do besides methanol. I always said I wouldn't get it until I rode in a car with it and then I got it. Take a ride in my car and I will change your mind haha

What was you ET in that video?

I heard that dual cone BMS intake is one of the best choices, but not for this current weather. It seems it's better to use the stock air filter right now.

I don't know where to get e85.

Man, now i want to ride in a 335i with meth. I've never had that experience.

Hi my name is Quoc I drive a Ti Silver 08 135i from N.O. East.

Anyone have any shop recommendations to get some suspension work done? I plan on adding M3 control arms and rear subframe bushings but that is about 6+ hours of labor and too complicated for me to do myself.


Only pic I have of my car was from this past weekend after installing my new tail lights.

So I cut the car off and started it again, thinking it was fluke. Well it did it again....1) hesitated pretty bad, 2) gave me a ABS malfunction 3) it seemed as if my display on my dash was reset as if the battery was unplugged. I let it run for a while then check control and service from the menu, and there was no warning or anything. So I started again, it hesitated but no warning. About 30 mins later I parked at walmart, when I got back 1) it hesitated, 2) gave me a below freezing warning, and DBC warning but this time 3) dash display stayed that same. After I made it to my destination, I started it 3 times in a row and it 1) hesitated, 2) gave me an ABS Malfunction warning 3) dash stayed the same. Can anyone help???

Only thing I could think of for hesitation is I need to change spark plugs...last time I went to dealer for my last oil change they said the system was saying it was almost time for plugs and air filter to be changed. Besides that I don't know anything else. I have ALMOST 60K miles. And according to my car it is time for normal service.
Sounds like your battery is dying. Don't forget to get it coded when you install a new one.

So, we still trying for July 28?

Does any one knows a good mechanic shop close to Lafayette or around Baton Rouge? There's a strange noise coming from my rear left brake. Noise comes after driving a bit and i can only hear going lower than 20mph or when car is stopped and hand brake on, if i shake the car i can hear the noise.

Man, now i want to ride in a 335i with meth. I've never had that experience.
It will give you more flow and maybe some slight gains but prob nothing you will notice. The noticeable gains will come from meth or e85. There is one gas station in BR that I get it from but I am not sure about lafayette. We meet every thursday night in BR I'd be glad to take you for a ride if you are near by. I can promise you it will change your outlook. The torque is insane at the low end and without meth the torque fades at higher RPM with meth it just keeps pulling.

Also, do you have an upgraded front mount?

Nice!!! I'm excited. I'll be glad to meet with you guys. I got time this thursday.

Btw do you know any good shop to take my car for some work. I need to get my rear left brake. I don't know what happened or what it is but makes noises. The good shop in Lafayette has been pretty busy.

I can't do the 28th I could do the weekend after. I'm not going to be in town that weekend. Sorry I haven't looked more into it, I been pretty busy, I was able to go to lake charles to look at an area. I found an area that everyone will be able to park in, and it is right by the "beach". I want to say it Lakeshore Blvd, the parking lot is right after the visitor center. Looks like parking for at least 50-60 cars.
