Cleaned my intake valves this weekend. There are a few pics attached below
None of them are pretty, partially because the pics suck, and partially because, well...,... kids, trust me when I say... 93,000 miles is way (way!!!!) too long to wait before cleaning your intake valves!! Holy Schnikes!!! These things were totally beyond nasty! Also, fresh IM and TB o-rings mmmmmmm She's soooo much happier now! I've put ~30 miles on her and she's starting to adapt nicely indeed to all that fresh new air!

The Blizzaks are now on
And took it on a 4 hour roadtrip up to Ottawa on Saturday with my cousin to help with his next car.

Fixing brakes and searching new tires
I heard that something was wrong with my brakes and went to workshop. After just a little time we noticed that little rock has went between my disc brake (or what it's called) and brake pad. It damaged my "disc brake". I had to change both sides. Luckily it was quite easy job.
Also i thought that I have to buy new suv winter tires for my bigger BMW. I checked some models from https://www.nokiantires.com/tires/su.../winter-tires/, and there was some good options but I'm not sure do I want Nokias or something else. Next week I have inspection with my 118. Hope it goes well |

I just (literally five minutes before reading this) bought them off someone else, but thanks! If I need anything else for it, I know who to ask...

Just some trim stuff left to wrap and that'll be done. Can't wait to see it with the refreshed headlights.

I'm getting a low coolant level light the last couple days, but only immediately on start up. It goes away after a couple of seconds, haven't scanned yet, but seems like odd behavior.
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.

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.

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.

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! Videos: View post on imgur.com View post on imgur.com 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.
