Cleared the pathway for new motor. Put subframe back in. My diesel hp28 is sitting on the trans jack waiting too. Adapter plate should be arriving soon. Engine comes in 2 days

Sorry for the loss, happy the wife is OK. Probably too late now but I would have liked to pull off the "year 1 of the 1" surround.

Good news: clutch stop is in, and damn what a difference it makes. Can't believe I put off the install for this long.
Bad news: went for a spirited drive and now get a metallic clang when I first start pressing the brake pedal and when going over bumps. Sound level is speed dependent, so I'm hoping that its my 112k mile suspension that's being refreshed in a few weeks. Checked the sway bar endlinks and I can twist both front endlinks with two fingers. Time to replace 'em? |

Busy week.....
135i cluster installed to gain the Oil Temp gauge 👍. Free of the tamper dot 👍. Done locally if any Albertans are interested. ProTools helped to achieve digital velocity now correctly displaying across all speeds when GPS compared, analog display is consistently 3 or 4 kilometres per hour high versus GPS....needle might have to get reoriented. V001 tune flashed & adaptations reset - hunting idle rpm is gone, limp mode seems to have been eliminated relative to torque peaks 👍. Muffler swapped from 3” to 2.5”. Custom exhaust (headers/3”merge/3”race cat/3” resonator/2.5” muffler) is loud, but NOT annoying.....first autocross on Tuesday night - we’ll see if it blows through the local dB limits 🤷.

Today....
Installed new pads and drilled rotors. Porterfield R4-S pads, Bimmerworld brass caliper bushings and new sliders all around. Deleted brake wear sensors. Took it for a rip to seat the pads, then a casual drive and then some aggressive slowdowns to get a feel for what they should be like at upcoming autocross events. First impressions are positive, but given that it’s a daily we’ll see how annoyed I get with regular relubricating of the sliders

After all that work I'm looking forward to you're results from the auto-x! I think the 2.5" should give just the bit of back pressure needed for good torque...

Enjoy time with family, life is precious! I spent 3 hours yesterday doing the OFHG at 68k miles so I could enjoy today. Hopefully this gasket can last to 170k… I called my local BMW dealer and was quoted $750 to do the job.

Got around to doing my stainless braided brake lines. If it weren't for the mid-circuit lines by the rear subframe, the job would take an hour. Got it all bled and calibrated with INPA though, feels great!
Went with Techna-Fit lines based on this thread https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1090379

That's been the daily price at Amazon for a while. That's the price I would've paid if I hadn't known about the Prime Days.

Ejected a CD.
Doesn't sound like much, I know, but my CD player hasn't worked since I bought the car two years ago. I didn't know that at the time, inserted a CD and... nothing. Wouldn't play, wouldn't eject. OK, no biggie. Then last week the CD started playing... I thought I hit AUX but actually selected CD. And today it actually ejected. It's both wonderful and a bit disconcerting that it fixed itself. |
