Anyone go to Lime Rock over the weekend? I met a couple of guys, one who mentioned he had an E92 and we talked about wheel fitment. Sorry, I didn't get to grab your name before rushing to the gate.

[zero2sixtyZ]

This section is still dead. Anyone still have their cars?

[Etek]

Still have mine for only a little longer as I get ready to sell it. I just moved into a 2020 sunset orange m340.

[willzim]

still have my 07, just hit 116k and hoping to get another 3 years before moving on

No, you did not invite me.




FML I can't find a decent FF intake manifold for the n54.

Anyone know a local shop that can make me an intake manifold?

Otherwise it is the BMS one stock location.

You could've found one the same way I found the Larz Anderson schedule:

I just emailed them. Precision Raceworks/BMP has 100 manifolds but they are all built wrong and hit the oil filter housing or something. They said everyone else just orders from them and drop ships. They did not think any of their distributors had any in stock as I had mine on order for 7 months.

Worth a shot...

As far as Larz, I am not a fan of going by myself to stare at other people's cars

You loved staring at other people's Maximas IIRC.

I was younger then and impressionable

Mashimarho is out of stock of the FF BMP manifolds, as everyone is it seems. No one wants to hold stock. Everyone drop ships.

I can go with the metal stock style center input mani from PR or Burger for a bit cheaper but in theory there should be some gains from a FF manifold and they look better. Given it is now the fall I guess I will wait for the spring for a PI mani. I have plenty of other parts to install anyways.

I think FCP Euro / CCA is doing an event at Lime Rock the last weekend of Sept too. Need to find the details on it.

Can you get away with using the Protools app? Has some advanced coding capabilities, but not sure it's a full replacement for the full software.

[M-technik-3]

I'm sure I could try it. Seems there's no organized BMW enthusiasts out this way anymore. I used to know a bunch by they have either moved or changed brands over the years.

[Torgus]

That and everything has moved to social media which I pretty much despise. Forums used to be great for setting up meet ups, sharing information, etc. Now it seems it has all moved to social media where you can't easily search etc.

But if you want to see a wrapped baby blue e92 ST on purple rimz for sale for 35k in Boston it is great for you.
