I respect the time & dedication that went into the build, but that doesn't excuse it from being the abomination that it is.

I wanted to hate on him but his response to Torgus was on point. I mean he's going to the track, while Torgus' BBK sits in the driveway.

Let's pick a day and go together. I had an absolute blast at the one I went to last year.

I'm game. Late May and on all work for me. Let's pick a date! I will have to resign up with BMWCCA and get myself a Helmet. Can you list the current schedule?

Check motorsportreg.com. I may sign up for the SCCA membership this year too as their schedule looks better. Does anyone run with them? I'd gladly pay more for an event to not work the track half the day.

Looks like Devens is the only spot within 100 miles.

Mech in Boston
Hey guys,
Been using this site for research before buying my 2011 328i XDrive coupe. Just picked it up today. It's got 43k and was a CPO; I brought it to South Shore BMW for a pre-purchase inspection and the mechanic said, "this car is gorgeous". However, it does need the oil filter gasket so I am looking for a solid independent shop in Boston (I live in JP) or in Waltham where I work. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Chris Last edited by h1pst3r88; 03-20-2019 at 08:07 PM.. |

Damn that thing looks clean, nice pickup! What color interior?
OFHG isn't a bad DIY job if you're handy, the gasket is only like $30 at BMW and outside of normal ratchet/socket set, I think you'll just need a torx set

Yeah it is very doable, plenty of DIYs online.
http://www.virtualeas.com/index.html is near your work. It's an in and out day job for a shop. My friend Matt Wing works there. Excellent mechanic.

My girl's in getting the airbag and blower motor wiring recalls done, I casually asked for a G30 loaner but was offered a G11 740 instead. First time driving a 7 series and GOD DAMN I could get used to driving this every day.

Jokes aside, this thing pulls much stronger than I anticipated. Going to pop the hood before I return it to see how much room is in the engine bay, considering they fit an engine twice the size in the same bay.

Also, looking for other bolt-ons if anyone has any for sale. Cheers |

What difficulties are you having? The JB4 has it's own forum for troubleshooting I am sure if you google you can find a tech forum for the n54

Just my first performance part in the car. Simple install, but doesn’t seem to be working. No cluster needle sweep, no functions on the cluster itself. Doesn’t seem like the unit is getting any power. Car starts up fine and normal. I was hoping someone as has a jb4 in the area, perhaps we can swap it out. Maybe I have a defective unit.
