Yep sadly that's true, how ever the rears are easy to remove, just 2 nuts and then pull it out. I recently installed Koni yellows as well with HR sport springs. The ride is much much better than when I have Bilstein B8s.

Yes, only way they are adjusted is to remove. Had them installed with a little less than half a full turn on the rears and so far so good. Considering a different spring but, the M-Sport with the extra damping has been great so far, plus I had a blown original shock up front and just needed to get rolling at the time lol.

N54 e90 randomly died a few months ago.
Finally got around to replacing the FPR today. Started right up. A line on the old FPR was not connected. I can’t tell if it came loose while driving or when I pulled it out of the car. I am thinking it came loose while driving and that was the result of no start, because the car had 0 codes. But of course, you can’t win a battle without the car fighting back! Right rear window actuator failed as the rolled the windows back up and the door actuator has also given up!!! I will address those issues and start on my rear heated seat mod. |

I ordered the upper ET hose from FCPEuro and it arrived quickly, the right side hard pipe/hose connection has developed a slow leak. Unfortunately, the hose did not slide onto the ET (the two notches on top and bottom) so I pulled the connector/hose section from the old hose and installed it on the new one. Luckily, I was careful about the nipple on the radiator hose so there's that. Why does it have to be so difficult?

Just bought this OBS GMC. I practically stole it.
1993 Sierra work truck edition 4.3 v6 4spd manual with over drive 130K miles, 1 owner. I'll make this a story as short as possible. My sister and her husband bought the house across the street from them, the owner of the house temporarily left this truck behind. Supposedly his dad gave it to him and he didn't really want it. The truck sat on the property for about a year. My sister had a Cinco de mayo party, they invites the guy who the purchased the house from. We spoke about the truck, agreed on $1250. Just found a Receipt in the glove box for $6k worth of work. Completed new interior, clutch, fly wheel, spark plugs, radio and speakers. Also the truck was repainted withing the last few years.

Picked up my OEM BBK from powder coating. The Phoenix Yellow wasn't doing it for me.
And for me, bright red and bright yellow are a little too "look at me" for my little N52 E91. I thought hard about the BMW M-Sport blue, but decided to keep it classy and go with my monochromatic look, and went went with the silver. .... I couldn't resist bragging the Brembo though. Can't wait to install it all. I just need to find some local help to bleed them when done.

Another injector down Original Index 7 with 144K on it. Not bad, honestly. Cylinder 4. FYI dealers will price match BMW of Northwest which has them for $352 each.
Also replaced the two rear underbody panels which was a royal PIA. |

I know right! It WAS running just fine until yesterday. It sputters out at low speeds (1st and 2nd gear) I read it may be the egr valve so I replaced it but no luck. I'm just hoping it's not the fuel pump. I just filled up the 25G fuel tank so that shits gonna be heavy.

Finished my single turbo yesterday & my carbon CSL trunk showed up. Put that on today & currently doing 2 step colder plugs before i data log for ken @ wedge.
Drives pretty good on the base map. Only on wastegate @ 10psi of boost. Virtual dyno estimates it at 360hp & 310ft lb tq right now. Which is it feels like to me. Excited to crank up the boost. All the old plugs coming out look great. No signs of leaky injectors at 115k miles on my current index 12s Also, my exhaust sounds terrible now. Pretty much just straight pipe. Cats are halfway blown out. Sounded great with the stock twins but now it sounds so raw and raspy. Went ahead and bought a vrsf street exhaust. Hopefully that shows up soon cause its way too loud and raspy right now.

Today I finished the installing my Bilstein B8 and H&R lowering kit. I changed out the rear shocks and springs along with shock mounts last weekend so it was time to drop the front this weekend. New struts, springs and strut mounts installed and now all I need is an alignment to finish it off. I couldn't not take it for a little spin in the meantime though. It certainly feels tighter than before but I'm sure the struts I removed were the originals with 170k kms on them so it would almost have to feel better wouldn't it. TBH it doesn't appear to have lowered the front nearly as much as the back. I did take height measurements before I started the rear and I will check the height again once its had time to settle in a bit and post before and after pics.

Yeah the rear seems to have dropped over an inch but the front, not so much. I'll give it some time and maybe some rough(er) roads.
