    Yeah thanks for the tip.  I am going to see if I can reduce the rattle by adjusting the actuator arm first.  Just bought a 4mm wrench which feels like a toy.  After that I'll give the MHD adjustment a go.

    Amazing that you got new turbo's on warranty!!.  I have an autosure policy but just assumed that they would consider it wear and tear or that the mods would exclude me from that sort of claim.  I'd be interested to find out more?

    You problem with autosure lies with your car needing to be stock to claim but if the rattle is only heard with the aftermarket downpipes then how do you proceed.   


  2. 335I E92 PE modded Exhaust.  Less packing and less Perforation in the Mufflers.

    Cold starts sound like an exotic super car.

    $120

    I had this on an E91 wagon. But it was just to loud for me, I have to many grays and early starts parked next to the toddlers bedroom didn't work for the wife

  3. I installed my own intercooler, charge pipe bov, plugs coils etc , but harder stuff I have payed workshops to install. Even the easy stuff I get them to do now as I just dont have the time. All the aftermarket stuff can't  be sourced here ( LSD , downpipes, upgraded LPFP) so I I pay them to install when I bring down and I have used places I know do great work. I am pretty sure I havent insulted any of them but I will double check

    If it's so straight forward and you have a video on how to do it. Why can't you then do it your self ?? I find your statement of a professional just charging labour to fit supplied parts at a labour cost only insulting to the professional repairers in our industry.

    Are you joking? If I pay someone to paint my house but supply the paint am I insulting the painter. I am paying him for his time and labour. Thats why I said take it to one of these non precious BMW Techs

    They list RON values on the screen alongside the Octane. But I think people will still get confused if they're not aware of this.

    I did once spot a guy from Europe with bad timing corrections on the e90post forum and asked him if he was going by Octane number instead of RON... He was.

    I still get an uncomfortable level of timing corrections on the 98RON map though so I use the 95RON map even when I'm running BP98.

    What do you call uncomfortable?

    With regard to replacing the cats with aftermarket downpipes is it a straightforward car on jacks job or do you really need a hoist? 

    um its super tight. I have done a lot of the mods myself but was a bit tough for me. Think you need to drop the steering rack
