my question is, who is telling you this crap? and if it's true, expect my tranny to be garbage in the next week or two! lol. I am picking up my car from being tuned today or tomorrow... the price tag does suck though. and don't paint your calipers!! the oem calipers are already coated and really nice. |

which dealer? p&w is a dinan retailer and installer? honestly if you just look at the wheels on the car you think they are 16"s because of the caliper... most people realize they are 18's and realize that the calipers are larger than some cars wheels... I would recommend against painting them! they aren't simply painted but high temp coated. BMW suggested no break in routine for me... i even asked around... I know what I do to new cars and stuck with that... but they didn't have any suggestions... heck, they dont' even change the oil for 10k miles on the cars... I asked that they do my oil just over 3k... that's where my car is now. |

anyway... I've romped on my car, power shifted and run through the gears pretty good... i have 3100 miles on the car... so obviously I didn't wait X amount of miles to rev over 4k and shit like that...haha... these days the motors are built with such tight tolerances that a break in is menial... I'm not sure if the n54 engine uses crank bearings, but typically head design just cuts right into the head with no bearings... and i wouldnt be suprised if block design when this direction... so there is nothing to really 'break in'... ya know? I've give it a couple hundred of just heat cycling and not beating on it... seat the rings and let the valves run through some lubrication cycles... otherwise treat it right and drive it like it was suppose to be. |

well i guess i wont have pics until tonight, because i got home went to download and i didnt have the plug into the camera all the way in and somehow it deleted everything on there, so i will take more pics tonight when i drive past, so how long does it take once it comes off the truck to be completed at the dealership?

The car should be ready within 3 days... I know that it took them 2 on mine... but I went in late and picked it up.
The paint will be fine... it'll be tough to paint right... i guess my point was that I just don't think they need painted, lol... but do as you may!!! this is my front wheel... the caliper is surely noticable: |

I gotta say, BMW sure got the stance on these 1'ers dead right from the factory, didn't they? (You didn't lower yours, did you, fshowcars?) And the "BMW" logo really sells the calipers to me, and the grey color looks good with blue. Though I could definitely see red being a little nicer on a different colored car.
Man, I can't believe I have to wait until next year! |
