Pretty sure I'm the first N55 in Oz to have a JB4...

Also need to do:

- New Rubber
- M3 Rear Subframe Bushings
- M3 Control Arms
- maybe Koni FSDs or replace the Eibachs with Coliovers

...gotta stop spending money on this car....

is going as well - I am just doing maintenance...

I classified my recent purchase as maintenance/preventive measure ( that is how I justify it anyway ).

That's awesome Angus.

Lol technically your warranty is gone once you popped the tabs on that ECU box.

According to my dealership, "non-factory tyres void the entire power-train warranty as it affects the geometry of the car which affects other parts. The run-flat tyres are designed for these BMW's."

Let me know when you do the M3 bits mate, might be worthwhile buying/installing together to get a better deal? We both go to Fulcrum too so it would be easy. These M3 bits aren't a priority for me right now, maybe in a few months time.

Ask them to put that in writing or repeat it while you video it on your iPhone.

I've had my FSD's on for a couple of years now and can say I'm a big fan (they're matched with BMW P springs)

The M3 control arms were also a nice addition. Not profound, but certainly sharpened things up a bit on the pointy end.

I thought of plenty of clever things to say when I got home but to be honest, I was caught so off-guard with that response I was literally lost for words. I think I said something along the lines of that is BS. A part of me is deeply concerned that I leave my car in their hands when I hear stuff like this.
