Replaced dodgey starter on the compact. What a mission that is! Also found a missing vacuum line bung, which explains the low idle when cold and high idle when warm. But now it’ll either stall, idle at 1500, or hunt between 1200-1700. Stupid thing. managed to score a set of the e46 15” alloys that are pretty light, with a brand new set of Bridgestone ecopias for $100 off Facebook for the compact too, so gave them a good clean and put them on. Are each 1.1kg lighter than the Steelies with 195 vs the 205 ecopias. Not that it’ll make a difference also dropped the m3 off to sort the weird miss/flat spot and give the tune a wee tickle up

Engine/gearbox out again for me today. Not by choice. Decided after morning coffees to troubleshoot clutch on my E36 compact with M52. Was swapping various clutch slave rods as nothing seems to be engaging in there. Nek minute... rod #3 pops off through slave hole into bellhousing! .....Bye! Quick feel around and I had my fingers on it for a couple of seconds then slipped down into the abyss. ?

Is just a coding option on the LCI DSC module, is on by default on LCI cars. Considering my DSC module accepted coding for BBK, which is an LCI only option.. it may even be possible to turn it on on the older cars (why though..)

Can"t see you being dissapointed at all John!

Just flashed MHD 1+ Version 9 beta, was previously running 8.1, what a great map, very very smooth and linear, way better mid and upper range.

I bought a tidy 2009 335i LCI wagon about 9 months ago for $10700. It has done about 158000km's but has been well looked after. I have done the waterpump and thermostat so far, apart from that it has been smooth sailing.

18 months ago I got my e91 335i for 10k with full bolt ons, LSD and stage 2+ mhd and xhp flashes. They're out there if you're patient.

Finally sold. To a friend of a friend.
