Only because the fog light bulb discussion is good information for the 128i sub-forum, but a bit incongruous with "128i love" (in my opinion anyway).

By in large, this is the 128i general discussion thread. Might not be a great solution, but its what seems to work in a small section.

Anyone who hasn't upgraded to the Rogue Engineering Transmission Mounts should definitely do it.

Stiffer-- they're what e46 M3 owners (:cough

Therefore, also louder.

Didn't really notice any NVH differences between the stock ones and the rogue engineering bushings. Much more solid shifts but thats about it.. not complaining as its best case scenario

Interesting. From what I'm reading they really do seem like the best of both worlds

MarkkyyMan · 01-13-2015, 08:25 PM

I haven't noticed any real increase in noise, haven't had them in very long though.

So i visited family in Germany these passed holidays and i managed to snag myself a euro airbox. Total cost for airbox after shipping from Bavaria to my doorstep in NY?

80 euro's for the box with no lid
35 euros for the lid and a brand new air filter
40 euros shipped
___
155 euro's
1.16(euro to dollar as per today)
x
______
180USD

Crazy how cheap e82 parts are over there. It's also awesome having family hook ups, many thanks to my cousin for the help.

Also the Welt and BMW museum were awesome. It was pretty cool to see the N52 display engine sitting on a table for me to stare at... and the CSL s54 of course

Awesome. Welcome to the eurobox club. Mine was about the same, just a little less since I didn't need the lid. I paid 100 GBP which was about 150-160 CAD.

I'm heading to the Welt in May. I'm really excited. Also, BMWCCA members get discounted rates

If they were only better, BMW would use them.

631twentyeighteye · 02-03-2015, 10:32 AM

Last chance: Injen intake for n52. Used for 20-30k miles. Everything is there, transfer your MAF sensor over, bolt it up and you're good to go. I recommend cleaning the air filter. Install instruction sheet and Air filter cleaning instruction sheet are both included.

The heat shield is rusting a bit and could use a little sanding and repaint, other than that everything is in great albeit a bit dusty condition.

Only looking for the cost of shipping. It's a pretty big box but i figure it'll be around 30-40 bucks in the continental US 48. IF nobody wants it it's going to get thrown out, so here's your chance for a cheap Injen intake!

Pothole · 02-03-2015, 11:04 AM

Someone should get this! only 30 bucks!

I would get it if I would live in the US.

You should put it up in the classifieds section of the 3 series forum! This should still be worth a couple of bucks!

631twentyeighteye · 02-03-2015, 11:06 AM

Seeing if anybody here wants it before i go ahead and list it in the classifieds on e90post. It's been sitting in my garage for a few months now, I'd just like the space back again.

Next time you guys have stigs car on a lift checkout the foam/rubber factory transmission bushings on the 128i. It's a very weird material.

Yea sure, when I get home from work I will. Shop simply sawed off the res and welded another pipe in its place. Took no more than 20 minutes of work.
