However, I'm thinking the fun to drive E82 chassis coupled with a torquey motor perfect for city driving will still be enjoyable with the DCT. The DCT is probably the only compromise I'm willing to make out of MT+RWD. Time will tell!

Got a rude welcome into the N54 lifestyle. Tuned my car using MHD to the stage 1 map and on the first pull went into limp mode and threw a misfire in cylinder one.
Went and bought plugs and coils. Waiting on those, the DCI and the charge pipe and then she will be ready for more pulls!

If he wasn't coming from Georgia..I would say along the Columbia - Newberry stretch of I-26. My brother is actually down there at the academy right now for more training.
I'm up in Northern Spartanburg, and don't usually have to use the Interstate, but do have to deal with all the small towns I drive through. And most of those guys are pretty uptight!

I've done a bunch of stuff to my 2012 E91, and am waiting on parts as well. Lets see...
- 35% tint back windows, 40% on the driver/passenger windows, and 70% on the windshield. Stupid car failed Texas inspection with 35% on the front 2 windows... blah. - replaced a chewed ebrake boot... guess a dog got it before it was my car. - replaced the orange side reflectors with smoked ones. - new cabin air filter, cleaned the evaporator while I was at it. - new HVAC blower, managed to break mine when cleaning the evaporator. i cracked the top of the fan assembly somehow. - rennline phone mount. Use one my 911, and they're great. - changed the 676A HIFI amp out for an Audiotec-Fisher Match 7UPBMW - Used Bimmercode with my Veepeak ODB2 adapter to code some stuff. - Got a Bimmergeeks K+Can cable & set up BMW Standard Tools & Rheingold in a Win7 VM. Parts I'm waiting on, or installing this week: - Suspension refresh. Koni Special Actives all the way around, and new springs & mounting hardware. Stock ride height, just refreshed. - Aluminum trim to replace the wood look. - Black kidney grills & dark side blinkers. - New wheels & tires. Square setup Apex 17x9 ET30 in bronze with Michelin PS4s 245/40/17, new bolts & new locking bolts. - A red starter button, because I'm going to have the trim off anyway... - A slime tire inflation kit, since I'm ditching the awful Conti run flats... - Have replacement Audiotec-Fisher Match speakers for the car all around, but waiting for it to cool down before install... I think that's it. So far. Last edited by flgfish; 09-12-2019 at 11:26 AM.. Reason: eye spel gud |

Just put a new serpentine belt, idler and tensioner kit on my 328i. Now the AC compressor is starting to knock and fail, so that will be next! Can't ask much more of it, it lasted 269,XXX miles.

Somehow fixed my ashtray LEDs. Don't know how. Also adjusted the brightness of the dash lights

Right black grill flew off on the highway last night. Tabs on the actual bumper are toast so going to glue to stock chrome ones back on while I try to source a new m-sport bumper

Swapped the aluminum dash parts back to wood grain, guess to each their own, but I don't like the alu look.
Swapped in the LCI hvac controller I had on the shelf. I like how it lets me adjust the fan while still keeping it in auto mode, and i prefer the seat heat buttons on the hvac control. Prepped the LCI right headlight I've had on the shelf: removed lens, scraped out RTV silicone that previous owner had slathered in there, and that leaked. Soldered right LCI front turn signal. Discovered that I had lost the 3M rubber rope sealant I was going to use to reassemble the light, so ordered another. Hopefully will be here Sunday so I can install it when I replace the radiator support and install the sensor for active cruise |

Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Gone!
My rear brake pad wear sensor light came on yesterday. Funny, because I know the pads are nowhere near done. I pulled the wheel to investigate and saw this:
Not sure what caused that but . . . oh well. I do have rotors, pads, and a new sensor wire on the garage shelf but what is on the car right now is still good. I just went ahead and did the bypass mod and will save the new sensor wire for when I actually do the new brakes. Used one of those heat shrink connectors with the solder inside, shrunk it on, then covered everything with some regular heat shrink tubing, bent the end of that over and taped it. Zip tied it in place (actually redid it from the pic below and ran the wire along the support so it isn't near the strut, but didn't get a pic of that). Reset the code in Carly and it took me a couple of tries to reset the light but got it done. I know that the wear sensor thing is good for people that don't pay a lot of attention to their cars but it is kind of a pain when it malfunctions. K9Leader |

Have a 328xi. Had some power loss, checked it out on Carly. Had code 0054C6, transfer case fluid. Gave it a test drive after the fluid change and it was still driving poorly. It sat for a half a day, and when driving it to work the next morning, I was happy to see it was driving perfect! Still have the code though so I'm not sure how to tackle that.

Please Help
Change the crankshaft position sensor but unfortunately my 2008 bmw 335i continues to have a long crank and stall sometimes. I don’t know what the problem is, perhaps the crankshaft position sensor is not in place all the way. Anyway it’s a struggle for my 16 y/o self.
