SOLVED!! *dancing* Installed ISTA+ and got a K+DCAN cable. A few hours of naffing around to get it installed and talking and BOOM! Reset the engine DME learning and adaptations and its solved. Also using less gas and pulling harder, it doesnt feel way slower than the 130 anymore... It was like flicking a switch between runs like a dog and runs like new... Yay for piracy

True story: I have been driving for 53 years and I have never had a flat tyre while driving any vehicle

First time track day ever. Car handled great though did not push my luck due to first time learning and wet track. 2009 BMW 335i M sport MHD stage 1 tune HKS BOV POTENZA RE003 Everything else stock. DSC OFF, DTC ON Hampton down - Club circuit track. By no means I am an excellent driver at track, all about the fun.

gone now

Here is the pic of the modified steering knuckle with a normal size knuckle beside it. The gain is 25mm clearance overall.

Sure. My car is a staggered setup: 245/40/R20 Front and 275/35R20 Rear on 303M 20" rims. OEM Tyres are Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Run Flats as seen here. Two quotes in NZ, $960 vs $1,100 (NZD) per tyre and from Tire Rack in the US $496.55 (NZD) per tyre. I opted for Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus as seen here. All up the final bill is going to be around $1,892.81 depending on what happens at NZ Customs, which, equates to $473.20 per tyre.

Yeah i suppose it comes down to how long they actually last for. I guess if your not racking up the k's they may be ok. All my E39 daily control arms are Meyle (done 50,000 now) but many Lemforder items like the rear ball joints, Integral links etc are around the same price so saw no reason not to choose them in that situation

Nice, always good when you have a big pile of new parts to fit. Introduced the race car to the angle grinder version of the Jenny Craig diet and started cutting any un-necessary brackets, etc off the car. Not quite brave enough to start the process of cutting the bodywork just yet, building up to that part slowly.

No worries mate, i'm not offended, and i hope it doesn't offend others as well. I just felt pretty sad for Tom and his family, especially with a deeper understanding from my own personal life experiences this stuff strikes a chord. i wouldn't force my beliefs on another but also hope we can all respect one another from our own unique lives we all live, all the best mate.

New plugs and coils - No change. Reset adaptations - No change. Have been watching the oil level, im conviced something odd is happening as it fluctuates by 700ish ml. Wondering if there is a block in the oil seperator and its filling and dumping (into the sump and or intake). The 130s oil level is solid as a rock in comparison. Ordered new CCV system kit...

I have an almost complete interior for a 1968 BMW 1602. This includes front seats, rear seats, dash, headlining, rear doors cards, one front door card. I am happy to seperate but would like to sell the seats as a complete set. The dash is in very good condition with no cracks, includes all the chrome pieces that sit below the dash in these early model cars. I have lots of other small interior/exterior parts, including badges if you re looking for anything specific. Located in Christchurch. PM me if you are interested. Asking $1200 for the lot. Negotiable. I will try and get some photos of the dash and better photos of seats.
