Or even one of those half-ass touchless washes that could at least help to cut through the salt buildup?

Rochester Hills off of Rochester Road and Woodward (different Woodward). The right two bays have doors and they're down. It's only one one side, but it's the west side and honestly makes all the difference in the world.

There's another in Northville a friend uses, but it's not on my side of town (my area of Troy/Bham doesn't have any I know of, but I work by Rochester Hills).

New e91 owner here. Waiting on the car to arrive from the shipping company.
Looking forward to meeting some Metro Detroit members.
Coming from an E39 M5, I may have run in to some of you guys on Woodward last summer.

Reading a few posts back, I would be interested in finding someone local to code a few options in to the car as well.

Who's done the CDV delete?

I can see why now people do it. Was going through the gears WOT, and felt those seconds of delay before the gear engaged. Annoying.

Anyone have any suggestions on places in the Ann Arbor or novi area that does valve cleaning?

Motorwerks only does it by hand. I would prefer to not pay $700 that the dealers are quoting me.

Maybe feels like a normal car, lol. I don't like it. You don't notice it while normal driving. Definitely something to add to my mod list to get done.

Good. I still have a bunch of ice stuck in my wheel wells that I can hear the tire grind on near full lock. Time for a nice bath.

It's easy, 45 minutes tops taking your time. Be sure to have a torque wrench.
