Try Smokey's Dyno in Akron, I bet they will do it.

I'll be moving to north Cbus on the 27th so I'll be attending those events soon after! Any good personal mechanic shops you recommend in that area?

blackbeast06 · 06-14-2015, 12:18 PM

I have some parts for sale if anyone is interested. Location is Columbus. Available is ETS 5" FMIC, ETS charge pipe with diverters two meth bungs and long version, DCI, meth kit with stainless lines, JB4, BMS FSB, DP fix, AR catless dp's.

blackbeast06 · 06-20-2015, 01:09 PM

Just a little humor for you all today, I called MAG BMW to inquire about wastegate rattle and turbo warranty. They said it would cost $1800 to just inspect the turbos to see if they are faulty. I couldn't help but chuckle on the phone. Has anyone had any experience with MAG or Kelly BMW with turbo replacement?

Eschleae · 06-21-2015, 02:29 PM

Don't go to MAG, go to kelly BMW or ToyBarn

JimKW · 06-22-2015, 01:50 PM

I've been to MAG a couple times. Not very impressed because I get the feeling they are not really listening to what I'm saying about what my AC is doing. I have used Evans Automotive on Morse Rd a couple times and they seem good. I have heard good things about Best Motor Werks also, but I have used them yet.

Whoa, I haven't been on here in a long time.. Hi Ohio people!

How much do you want for the DP fix?

Might be a stupid question, but does the meth kit work with n55s and n54s? Or would the be different kits?

Welcome to C-bus! So some tips to surviving in Ohio since I moved up here from Florida once upon a time. Troopers can be real dicks about window tint in Ohio, and parking on the street in downtown Columbus is pretty much an instant ticket. I advise that you either put it on the dashboard when you park or get one of these guys if you are like the majority of enthusiasts that refuse to drill holes in their bumpers for a plate.

EDIT: I agree with skip MAG and go to Kelly BMW. Not sure is Brandon still works there but that guy was awesome. I have never worked with a service rep that worked harder at making a customer happy.

Thanks for the tips! I will leave my tint for now and see how it goes. As for the plate - I will stick it in the window and see how I feel about it before getting the tow hook mount. I heard about Kelly BMW for service, but would like to get a 3rd party mechanic as well because they are cheaper.

Let me know if there are any meets or anything - I'd like to get to know some OH people! Columbus is already welcoming me with rain, pot holes, and construction!

JaSSon · 06-30-2015, 05:02 AM

Ugh, my 07 is down with another HPFP. I called my SA at MAG (who have been awesome in the past) and he told me the 10 year/120k mile warranty extension was only good for a single redemption. I'm sick of fighting with this car and the company that is supposed to stand behind it.

That's a new one. The BS keeps getting better.......

JaSSon · 06-30-2015, 10:02 AM

I think this is the last straw. Once the car is repaired (one way or the other) I may trade her in. Dodge's EcoDiesel sounds interesting.

The Die · 07-02-2015, 08:03 AM

Hey guys, anyone wanna do Cars and Coffee Saturday (weather permitting)?

Can't, I have parade duty.

Yes the kit will work, you would just need to buy a controller for it. If you have a JB4 you just need an FSB ($150).
