Thanks have to read up on it. I'm not at the point where I'm going to do any coding and may never do it on the 330i but I'm already eying that 3 stage for the 325i but that won't be for months yet, trying to get ahead of the curve.

I know RSA is a public/private crypto key scheme, BMW must use it to sign their code. There would be no way to fake anything into accepting it as genuine, so this delete must circumvent it altogether.

The dude who's been working with them to get the tune going hasn't had any complaints. Think he said he's had it for like 5k miles and likes it

3PedalJake the burbles are a free option, I think I'm going to get the tune this year without burbles

Start stop button.

Off with the brand new B4s and Lesjofors springs and on with the B12 Pro Kit and White Line sway bar links.

May or may not need a flat repair. 15 minutes of driving on the highway after running over shrapnel from this destroyed battery I got a TPMS light. Was 10lbs low. Hoping it was somehow a coincidence and the tire was slowly going low over time (winter) though I doubt it

I I am wondering how you managed to run over a battery? Spray it with some soapy water and look for bubbles.

There's a few things haha. Gonna let it sit overnight and see if it holds air

-At night
-Right before a left turn
-Didnt hit the battery but someone did, alls I saw was something wet on the road (leaking battery acid) followed by a crunch (running over pieces of the "shell")

Yikes. I used to tell my bro when we were out cruising you could build an entire car with the pieces you find along the road, we found a chevy turbo 400 tranny once. Mebbe not that battery tho lol. Good luck w/ the tire

Managed to wash it inside and out in 15 minutes... and then went on a date in it. And by in it I mean the entirety of the evening was spent in it. Really was hoping the "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light would magically go out beforehand but no dice.

Admittedly, eating Chinese food out of a damp styrofoam container with plastic utensils in a car that intermittently goes BRRRR when it idles because the passenger side engine mount is toast isn't all that romantic. Using a credit card to retrieve the driver side cupholder from the depths of the dash panel probably wasn't either. LOL

I guess dating is weird in the covid era.

when I saw it on the road when I drove past it a second time I could have sworn it was a transfer case lol. Whipped a U to get it out of the road and low and behold..

I'm pretty sure I had a date exactly like this pre covid. It was awkward to say the least

With 2 black E90s it looked like you were responding to yourself
Hopefully she/he appreciated it - it’s the “charm” of an old BMW. Reminds me of my E31...


Wrt tires: do you have road-hazard? You can always go to Discount Tires and buy a replacement tire certificate for them - they don’t have to be purchased from them either!

Nothing really, just watched the beauty from a distance

He was definitely not a car person, and the car related thoughts of non car people are incomprehensible to us so I'm not sure! .

I think charm is a good way to put it. Although that amber alert on the dash is getting really annoying considering the issue was fixed long ago, just haven't reset it yet.

I can see the confusion

And my friends work at a shop so I should be okay for a repair as long as its not too damaged. I really dont want to replace the tire at all just because of the xdrive system

[E92William]

An engine making vibration every once in a while because of a motor mount failing I'd say is probably better than virtually no backseat room in an E92 in that situation lol

Cannot confirm or deny, however e91 dudes must have it MADE.

Honestly, having an e91 just for the ability to put an air mattress in the back would be so worth it. Especially now. Everyone who lives in my apartment except me has covid at the moment, so I've been living out of the car and on a friend's couch for 5 days. In an e91 it'd be quite entertaining!

Too bad the bmw gods decided we wouldn't get a e91 330i here in the states, otherwise I'd have one.

Well boys, I parked in a dirt lot this morning. That was a mistake, the mud is no longer frozen to say the least. Unfortunately for me I have no way of turning on xdrive, its at home

Well it could be worse. It could have sunk out of sight. As it is it looks like you'll be able to drive out on your own.

Did something similar in my E46 once, grassy field at a Highland Games in the next village. It rained and the field got churned up. I was picking lumps of grass and mud out of the car for weeks.
