What did you do to/for your 1er today?

I hadn't seen that list before; I'll be coding them in next time I have NCS attached to my car.

Thanks. I've decided not to mess with the two Delta_Psi_Beta limit, since the 135i doesn't have the option to change the second one. I've also skipped the Steering Angle Characteristic Curve, since the 1M has a different steering rack, and I'm wondering if that might affect things.

That was my suspicion as well, based on other issues I've seen on the threads. I've also burned through 2 quarts in 1500 miles or so, yay! Just had the ofhg done a few months back, my gut says this is head gasket related.

This car is starting to become enough of a PITA that I'm starting to consider moving on, especially when I see the numbers that fbo/tuned b58's put down compared to the n55.

Mine did that when the coolant reservoir started going. I think as it heats up either expansion or motion gets it to a satisfactory level. For a little while...

True, I also had one fail like this, the cap wouldn't keep pressure anymore. Got a new cap from Autozone and it was good to go.

Yesterday I clear coated the cf roof spoiler with a uv protectant clear coat & today I polished it. I think it looks great, for it being my first time doing it.

Swapped pads/rotors/wheels after my last track day of the season

First time at NJMP Thunderbolt, awesome track! It was an open day with a private group, so plenty of run time. Was misting and wet most of the time, so the LSD got a workout. Finally dried out for a few runs in the afternoon though, great time. Gonna be a long wait until next season.

I loaded up the MHD BEF to combo my JB4. Car seems a lot smoother, but only logs will tell me if that's the case.

6ixSpd · 11-05-2019, 04:06 PM

Changed the oil a little sooner than it's due as I'd rather not be doing that in January, lol.

Swapped in LED amber turn signal bulbs front and rear. They are SO. DAMN. BRIGHT!

Seriously. Here's a comparison photo (left is stock, right is the aftermarket LED):

No errors thrown and no hyper flash as claimed, but I coded the bulb checks off (cold and warm) to prevent flickering on start up.

Boss lent me his E63 AMG for a few weeks while my headlights are out getting done. Fun car but goddamn this thing is heavy.

Yeah, there's about 700lb (300kg) difference between that and your vert. It's about 20% heavier than your car.

What's it like to drive compared with the vert? (I find you really feel the weight of our cars when you try to stop in a hurry)

The wagon version of that car is probably what I'd replace my car with if I could, but due to the rarity in Australia, I've never had the pleasure of driving one.

I imagine it's a lot more rewarding when you put your foot down in a straight line thanks to the torque and sound of the big V8, but feels like a boat around corners?

Does it feel at all 'throwable'? does it seem to 'shrink around you' when you're driving sportily - or does it feel more like you're lofting around in a 7 series or X series?

I love hearing about owners with high mileage b/c I'd like my car to last a long time. At the rate I've put on miles lately, the car will be pretty old before I hit 100K!

Currently installing the roof spoiler

I got a taste for the power and flashed mhd stage 2+ from stage 2, all mods are upgraded except for the fmic 🤞

Packed up my headlights to send out tomorrow. Super excited to see them done. It's the last big exterior thing I'm doing for a bit (maybe lol)
