What did you do to/for your 1er today?

Gray_Panther · 11-24-2015, 04:40 PM

ONR wash and tucked away to hibernate.

Overpar56 · 11-25-2015, 06:47 PM

Washed, waxed and cleaned the interior. Winter tires go on Friday.

cmark8 · 11-25-2015, 08:36 PM

Car went on limp mode after track day on Sunday... Figured out that one of my boost solenoids failed... and I kept waiting for the part to arrive today. It'll arrive Friday and I'll change both boost solenoids and all the vacuum lines that run from there to the wastegates...

I was happy to find out it wasn't going to be a big hit, since my OE turbos have 24k miles on them. I was psychologically ready to take the hit and go RB but thank God those Benjis are staying in my pocket.

Matticus91 · 11-25-2015, 09:58 PM

Serious detail job by a shop in NJ while I'm up here visiting family for Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for horsepower!

ccdre · 11-26-2015, 04:01 PM

Flashed MHD Stage 1... I'm beyond impressed with the limited road testing I did so far. Drives smooth as stock when not pushed but once the throttle goes down, the power surge is incredible!

The down sides I see so far?
- I'll have to flash back to stock for California smog checks
- I will need to buy tires lot sooner than planned

Fixed my boost leak! Replaced OE diverter valves with new OE diverter valves... Replaced all vacuum lines possible. Replaced boost solenoids. Replaced CPE charge pipe clamps with T-bolt clamps. I'm good to boost for another couple of miles!

Just got my hands on a Cobb V2 AP that works with my N55 from a fellow board member. I'm officially "Stage 1" :-)

inFamousKicks · 11-29-2015, 07:56 PM

Changed to the winter setup

This car was built for that exact moment in my life!

This may just be the best thing I've read on the Internet to date...

NickDHdfc · 11-30-2015, 02:25 PM

I put too much e85 in the tank today and failed my hpfp...I don't know if that was the exact cause but she's running pretty rough.

inFamousKicks · 11-30-2015, 06:20 PM

Changed to the winter setup last night, but didn't really get to drive it until today. Also got the chance to install 12mm VRSF spacers all around. So far so good, but God, I forgot how bad this car is on RFT. Kinda depressing.

Either way, here's a pic.

Hit Redline · 12-02-2015, 04:30 AM

Just went ISO on the JB4 and added the rev3 bluetooth module. Now I have gauges and can take logs with ease.

Quaife LSD this Saturday and off to Button Willow race track on Sunday. Life is good.

How great is not having a labtop?!? I mounted my iPad mini last night with the rev 3 and it's been great thus far. Everything in the app is simple and easy to use.

Nice. With spacers, the stock 261's don't look too bad on a lowered car.

weiln12 · 12-02-2015, 10:04 AM

Replaced all 6 fuel injectors. It's freaking cold here in Idaho Falls, and the first day after getting up here the rough idle/stall/misfire associated with the faulty fuel injectors showed up.

BMWNA wouldn't cover all the costs, but they did cover 15%. My wife and I are hoping this is it for a while. We got the car at the end of August and so far it's been in the shop for about 3 weeks getting turbos replaced and now fuel injectors. Dealer confirmed the HPFP has already been replaced once.

But we love the car, it's got it's snow shoes on, and we're ready for winter!

Yup, thought the same thing. Definitely gives them more of an aggressive edge.

That does look great!
Any alignment or N/V/H issues with spacers?
How do you decide how wide to go?

That looks awesome. Please share your mounting bracket.

The laptop is such a pain trying to do back to back logs when solo in the car. Most of the time the laptop would just go flying and disconnect as the cable was just a tad to short.

The app is fast and so easy to use.

tonight going to load a BEF for E85 via the cobb ap.
