My clutch still works perfectly fine, just looking into the future.

More specifically, order the E90 330i clutch. Same unit, just not weird to get since it is a US part.

Makes sense. What actually is the stronger part? More plates? stiffer springs? There aren't any aftermarket options as far as i've searched.

Bigger friction surface and whatever else to match. I don't know the specifics as I haven't done it personally. The manual Z4 3.0si clutch is also an option I think?

I don't know if i mentioned it, but the tristate e82 crowd is going to a dyno day in cherry hill on the 22nd. Here;s a link to the FB event. I'm the only 128i i believe but the more the merrier. There are appointments made, so if you know you're going call and confirm to reserve a spot!

Mustang dyno, started at 9 in the AM or something. We're meeting at a gas station and then rolling out as a group to the dyno shop.

^^ awesome. Hopefully STIG can make it.

631twentyeighteye · 11-13-2014, 11:30 AM

Hopefully, yeah. It's been planned for a few weeks but i totally forgot to post it in here, sorry

TheSt|G · 11-13-2014, 12:56 PM

Someone sent me this a couple weeks ago. Considering it. I never heard back if they have a datalink running?

Realtime data stream of spark advance, throttle position, engine coolant temperatures, inlet air temperature, calculated load, and a whole load of other things directly from the OBDII port.

I was told to call the shop to ask them directly. I know for $60 its 3 pulls with A/F. They're also doing Cobb protunes so i imagine they'd be willing to work out other tuning situations as well.

631twentyeighteye · 11-13-2014, 04:41 PM

Also random question that i cannot seem to find. How many quarts of fluid into the transmission and diff respectively? Also, votes on redline MTL versus redline d4 ATF? Changing diff and trans fluid soon among some other things and am getting ready to order some fluids.

I think it is roughly 3 and 1? Either way, skip the redline garbage and get the stock fluid. Both the trans and diff fill until the fluid comes out of the fill hole. Don't forget you need to suck the fluid out of the stupid diff.

E90 Bentley manual says 1.4qts for MT fluid and 1.05qts for diff. With that said, I used less than that in both cases, but not by much.

631twentyeighteye · 11-17-2014, 10:45 AM

Thanks guys I ended up ordering 1 for the diff and 3 for trans. I went with redline, any particular reason you're against it stig? I've had nothing but positive reviews other than it's notchy when cold.. And the BMW fluid in it now is already notchy when cold.

Hey if he has experience with it it's worth hearing. I've been recommended it by many people including my mechanic who's been working on BMWs for the passed 20 years, as well as Porsche's and various other euro makes.

New Jersey Tpke, Interchanges 8 And 8A
Cranbury, New Jersey 08512

We're aimed to meet there at 9:15 I believe. I've never been there so I'm not positive on the gas station location but I'll confirm it soon. Are you thinking about joining? I don't think all 34 will actually go to be honest ,but we'll see.
