So far so good..Definitely less dust on wheels, by a considerable amount tbh!!

Still bedding them in but first impression is good. I had Mintex pads in before ( Im in the UK) and they were good but soooo dusty.. This is a daily driven 320d E91 so no track work or such.

Got the ATE's from Amazon UK via Germany. Was the cheapest price I could find.

So the radiator for my E91 arrived yesterday. Here is how the delivery driver left it on my driveway:



Bottom of the box open, radiator sitting on top of the box, styrofoam packing sitting on top of the radiator. Huh?

Halfway up my driveway, we have a large traffic cone with a sign directing all packages to be left at that spot and not to be delivered further up the driveway toward the house. I have two dogs and my daughter's dog is at our house frequently, often for several days at a time. One of my dogs and my daughter's dog do not like intruders coming onto "their" property and we do not want a biting incident. We have an invisible fence and the package drop point is outside the fence limits. The dogs stand at their line and bark at the delivery people about 20 feet away. All I can think is that my daughter's dog, who did not yet have her invisible fence collar on (but she doesn't know that without it she is not restricted so stays within the fenced area even when not wearing the collar), may have gotten so excited/enervated that she got too close to the delivery person who either dropped the box or used it as a shield? Somehow the bottom of the box came open and the radiator fell out? But how did the radiator get neatly stacked on top of the box?

I've looked it over and it appears undamaged. Just . . . weird.

Don't even think about putting that in your car.

Yes, I've already done that and awaiting a response. It is ECS and the delivery was FedEx. I've had good luck and service from ECS so I expect we can work something out. Just a little disappointed as it took a couple of weeks from ordering to receiving the radiator so this delays even longer getting my E91 back on the road.

Loaded the E90 with the KONI SA for installation tomorrow. Pairing them with the OE M Sport springs.
Can't wait to experience a more compliant, but still sporty ride!
Coming from Bilstein B6, and I'll post a separate review comparing the two ASAP.

car sauce expensive now




still worth it

re: radiator chat showing up elsewhere, I'll say that with the 100+ temps we've seen here lately, I've noticed rock solid coolant temp and oil temp management from the system with no leaks, etc. Now that I have an oil gauge and can watch both, I'm starting to second guess my late summer plan of switching my oil filter housing with the n54 housing and adding an oil cooler.

My AC compressor sounds realllly bad.

About 90 here yesterday, sitting at idle with the AC on it's making a light rapping noise. It doesn't seem to like moving that swashplate to full stroke.

Strangely enough the system still works quite well. With some RPM it goes back to only making the benign pump-whine it's been singing forever.

As I am running Pure 2 with Port Injection, and all of the necessary surrounding hardware every year when it is time for inspection I crawl in, and hope. All good. Until next year.

Fixed the oil pressure sensor wiring on the 528i.
Routine scan for codes showed a fault for the sensor - looks like the sheath just disintegrated due to age / heat.

Grabbed a swaybar at the scrapyard for a cousin who just picked up a 6mt lci e92 328 x drive.

E91 x drives (and x1 m-sport or euro xdrive police vehicles/extra load cars) used a different front swaybar. Only difference i can find is the larger diameter is longer so it should make a small difference. For $20 it cant hurt right
