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

tjswarbrick · 02-20-2019, 04:58 PM

Car's been in the shop a week and a half awaiting parts. Koni warranty replacement strut arrived Monday; springs came in today.
It's had an oil leak at oil pan gasket since I bought it. Having that fixed.
About 2 months ago I started smelling the occasional burning oil. Hoped it was oil jumping up from the oil pan to the exhaust manifold... No such luck. Turns out there's a leak at the valve cover, too. (OFHG & OFH replaced a year ago December. Hopefully that's still staying strong.)

Is this why people warn against out of warranty BMW's?
I mean, I guess over 100,000 miles is pretty good for a hunk of plastic that should have been metal in the first place. But it's a pretty involved replacement.

Pretty sure my oil pan is leaking now as well. Some spots appearing on my garage floor and the underside of the car is wet all the way back to the transmission. No sign of the oil coming from anywhere "above" the gasket so.....I think that's my culprit. It can wait, it's too damn cold to do something that involved right now.

Hope everyone is ok! Been a bit away from here and a bit more active on the M2 Competition board.

Got a question for people lowered and running APEX wheels in 18 x 9.5 ET58

Have you fitted 275 in the rear? Saw a couple threads where people ran 285 but with spacers or more camber.

I'm running Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 in 265/35/18 and they clear with no issues and its time to replace so I am thinking doing 275/35/18 this time.

Any feedback?

They outta clear...they're only 5mm (1/5") wider on either side of the tire than the 265's.

And, dayum! You're running some W I D E bois

Thats the exact math I am doing

5mm each side should clear.

And yes they are wide but figured since its time to change them they could be a bit more wide.

Car came back from the shop last week and the butt dyno says it has about 50-60 more whp

Ordered a BMS intake and the package got stolen from my porch. Fuck. I hope they burn in hell. My security cam didn't see it. Fedex probably dropped it where the cam couldn't see.

Cleaning up my 135i that I picked up from the Big Island and brought back to Honolulu. Removing all the water stains in gutters then coating with Sonax Polymer Net Shield. Hoping that will keep the water flowing in the future.
