damn, I'd call that a fail. Was it via ebay or a place you can ask for a refund? Why does someone have to be a crappy seller, makes no sense...

It was eBay, actually a pretty highly recommended seller. I'm hoping it's just some kind of weird mixup. Just seems to be an ongoing trend lately. Getting custom stuff for this interior has been a nightmare

ShocknAwe · 03-11-2020, 02:26 PM

Started the F8x/E9xM3/E46M3CSL Hybrid front end job.

Petro135 · 03-11-2020, 08:09 PM

It's been a warm winter and I been thinking it's going to get cold. So I haven't done any work to my car. But I still been ordering stuff. Just changed the oil, tried the green liqui-moly.
Sitting in my garage is
M3 front control arms
VCG, a couple back up ngk's
PR ignition coils
3 index 12 injectors
New seals and couplings for other bank injectors.
Injector puller and seal tools.
Rsfb
Time to start stiffening this car up.
I'm also finished with a great 93 oct tune from motive and am about to flash a base e30 tune and start logging for an e50 tune.
Need a few warm days.

BronkaidBrah · 03-11-2020, 09:38 PM

Finally got around to installing my berk midpipe. 3 out of 4 downpipe nuts came off without a hassle , the last one decided to put a damper on my day. 2 trips to the auto parts store later I finally got it drilled out and replaced with a new stainless stud .

That is really sexy. Any idea if it would work with paddles? Was the install easy? I really want a thick flat bottom wheel with some alcantara on it. Carbon is nice too.

Dude that blows. Hope it's a mistake.

RonnieRobotPants · 03-12-2020, 04:15 PM

I polished one of my OEM tips at work yesterday, now just to find another one. (car only had one when purchased)

519.E82 · 03-12-2020, 05:03 PM

Well my 1M/M3 mirrors had one of the glass blow out and crack. thats like over $100usd so ill have to live with that cause thats expensive. And i believe my oil pressure sensor/switch is going out cause this morning i went to start the car and had the red oil light. cycled the car a few times and it went away and drove fine. started it after work and same thing couple starts and it was gone and drove fine

I still got my factory ones

just really not my day. It has like one vertical crack so should be liveable

AZ1 · 03-12-2020, 09:34 PM

I looked for bulbs for the halos. One is out and i hate it. I cannot figure out what to get. Can someone send me a link for the factory bulb replacement?

H8 bulb is required

crowtrobot · 03-13-2020, 07:44 AM

Took the car to the dyno to see how much mods actually do for an N51. Got around 210whp and 195wtq out of it. Was hoping for a little more, but saw some comparative runs from a stock 328 and a race-prepped 128 on the same dyno and it seemed reasonable.

'06 330i with intake & exhaust mods (online, not mine) pulled 224hp at the wheels. People thought it might be kinda high. So I think you're right on target.
I wanted a 130i after an international trip when they just came out. Never came to the states, so I "settled" for a 135 when the wife pushed me to go 'vert. But I'd love a 260hp N/A coupe. Enjoy!

They're just H8 bulbs. Get whatever you want.

low135 · 03-14-2020, 07:50 AM

Got my quote for full carbon dash from NRW. Now to source a good nav dash to send to them so they can get started. Super excited to see this come together as I've been wanting something extreme like that for a while. I'll send them my door panels after to be done in full carbon and alcantara as well

ShocknAwe · 03-14-2020, 06:57 PM

Progress. Had to source a new T40 after I broke one, and a T60 for the F82M4 hub bolts.

Interestingly, while the NonM ECS 2 PC rotors were heavier than their racingbrake counterparts, the E46M3CSL BBK 2 PC rotors from ECS were actually lighter than my small RB rotors! Mostly this conversion ended up being a wash in weight. I'll detail it in my build thread for you guys.

Here's a couple quick pics. Not finished yet.

b1aze · 03-14-2020, 07:22 PM

Got pics from my wheel guy. Pretty excited to grab them in the next couple days!
