Lesson here is save a bit more $$$ and get the car you want .. not the one you can afford right now.

Server email has been down for a few weeks so everyone probably only had got the PMs. There was a back log of 1900 PM emails to go out.

Sweet ... good man ... yeah its pretty much number 1 priority when regularly tracking or driving you car hard. The cars components will last you a lot longer with that attitude Yeah, diff oils are a whole new topic. I'm looking to install a temp sensor in my diff housing and monitor that ... with slicks something tells me it wont be pretty either. Just an FYI .. normal operating temps of oil is 80c hot is 110-120.
-
That's getting up there ... After 150c high performance oils will start to turn into vapor and you will have windage issue and air bubbles mixing into the oil because its very thin at those temps. The vapor will creep up your breather hose and coat your intake inlets .. sometime cause blue smoke on start up ... this can also foul your o2 sensors over longer periods of time. Air bubbles from the widage in the oil line will cause lower pressure in the line however nothing to worry about in the dangerously low pressure department. Just annoying. After a couple of track days the oil will start to smell burnt or darken as carbon builds up. It is time to change the oil when it does this as it looses its lubricating properties at this point and will start to progressively break down faster than normal. I found the internal BMW oil thermostat (inside the filter housing) to be a weak point unfortunately. It is only designed for road oil coolers with minimal cooling volumes and will let up to 0-33% flow through and not the full 100%. I have a CnC machine block bypass however am installing an external thermostat as my car is still driven on the road. This setup allows up 0-100% cooling from the enlarged oil cooler and AN lines.

Just means it gives you an excuse to keep it waxed and clean The 540 spends and has spent 100% its time outside ... all it takes is regular cleaning and a coat of wax and it looks good most of the time and paint stays in perfect condition. -

Really nice car Love the e90 m3. Im interested in your 130 .... how does it run ? looking into getting one myself.

Any reason you're not to just get your current one reconditioned and a better pressure plate spring and clutch modified ? A lot cheaper and better than buying these over priced american solutions. Drop gear box out, Get clutch/pressure plate + flywheel, Send to Autoclutch with what specs your after, Send to balancing shop (Bob Mead at Balancing Specialties in New Lynn), install and adhere to 500-1000k bed in process = clutch for days bro.

yeah merry xmas n all that sh*t ... definitely been a crack up & thought you might enjoy that tag I haven't been doing a lot of BMW stuff due to saving for a house and being a general boring person, probably got a step closer to sorting out this data logger / display thing of mine. However stoked to be finally in a house and setting up my man cave & garage just the way I want. Will get onto sealing the concrete and painting the garage walls etc. Might even try do the "The 12-Gauge Garage" (look it up) Highlights were Brian's memorial cruise, and watching the 2kcup starts
