I like being needed to open a jar of pickles. Not sure how I'd feel if the roles where reversed.

I don't think so... It looks like the jacking points would straddle the jack stand's mounting pads.

Rule 1, since no one can actually prove the speed of the BMW, let's assume it is on the limit in the zone. Clearly the prius either did not check the lane properly or mis-calculated the speed of the car in that lane.

Cars can actually look a lot faster than they actually travel, sometimes...

Hope you are spending a bit extra to have new shiny bolts installed instead of those old rusty one

Just swapped my stock xenon bulbs for some Osram night breakers, big difference with nighttime driving.

Had the hood come down on me twice

so new hood struts are next on my never ending list.

Man our fkn light covers are one HUGE PITA! Really want to stab the guy that thought that sh*t was genius.

Side note when I was putting the cover back on, the igniter/leveler or NUB as I called it kept falling out, the clips are broken. I had to keep jamming it in and the cover kept knocking it back out

Was bending over for over an hour my back is shot.

Any ideas on how to get new clips or just replace the thing

If someone were so inclined, you could take a frame-frame of the video, use the overall length of a 1 series and see how many "1 series lengths" the car travels over time to calculate the speed

tell me about it! I had to get whacked twice before I angrily opened Amazon and ordered new struts. BTW the 25$ ones on Amazon work pretty well, the clips were a little loose but so far so good.

What're night breakers and what're these clips you speak of?

Osram Night Breakers are a type of xenon bulb.

Also the clips on my headlight vertical aim control part #63117207574 are broken, so trying to get the cover back on with it falling out was a pain.

Is it affecting the direction of your light?

Thankfully my lights still appear to be pointed in the right direction and no codes thrown. Just a huge pain to deal with when putting the cover on.

Drove it for the first time with the new single turbo kit installed! Let me know what you think of the car and the video!

And be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel as most of my exciting updates will hit that platform first.

Zombie_Head · 02-27-2018, 11:25 AM

Took a photo of the battery, we have some Siberian winds in Germany it reached -8c during the day (expected -16c at night where i am), crank was not long but definitely sounded like the battery barely had charge.

Turned out my car has a 70ah 760A BMW AGM battery, wondering if i should get the exact same one or upgrade to 80ah 800A (which costs a lot more). I have the carly app so i can code the battery, just deciding.

Also Carly app showed my charge when running was 15.2v, a bit high.

It was simply from length of music and trying to avoid copyright BS.
I don't listen to classical, ever. Just happened to work.
