New Turner front sway bar end links to replace the Bimmerworld pair. No more clunks, thank you Jesus. Did hopefully set the sway bar to the closest to correct position and the rear too. WAY happier now.

Failed to replace my engine air filter. These two things are not the same.
Guessing I inadvertantly ordered the N52 version but I have the N51. Also need to order 2 airbox screws, as mine was missing one and had something not OE for another. |

Update: looks like I ordered the 135i Air Filter not the 128i. My fault: i had my 'vehicle' set as the 135i because I was shopping rotors and pads, as I'm about to install 135i brakes on my 128i.

First AutoX of the season. Car feels so much better with suspension updates and better tires. Driver needs a lot of work but I felt like the car was not the limiting factor as it was last season. I have to figure out how to overlay GoPro video with trackaddict. My runs were pretty consistent, but I'm not sure if that is bad or good. I had an instructor ride along with me on my last run which was really helpful. Need to ride along with some others to see how they are different at the next event.
HPDE upcoming at Pitt Race next month so need to focus next maintenance work on stopping (calipers, pads, fluid, lines). |

Then I just used a box cutter to cut three of the four little tabs off the back of the button. I can't find any pics (and I didn't take any during the process) but it's pretty self explanatory once you gain access to it. The top left tab is a little tough to get access to, so I did the other three tabs first and then just broke the last tab by pressing down on the button. I read online that this trick only works for 2011+ 1 series. 2008-2010 will need a whole new Euro Switch? Unsure of the validity of that but it worked on my 2011... If it's rainy after work today (which I think it will be), maybe I'll take it apart again and take some pics along with pics of the rear fog in use.

Unfortunate about the brake fluid, I run Motul 600 and have no issues with it getting hot. I’ve had issues with my pads though, so I’d recommend investing in those too |

Threw this Flow Designs splitter on, absolutely love the look. In other news I picked up the car from the shop this morning after having the door lock actuator replaced, the bill was eye watering

That splitter looks really good on your car! Mine's black and I think it would just disappear.

Rolled past 150,000 miles:
Also, replaced the ER charge pipe with the CARB-exempt COBB: On a side note, the wife's '18 X3 M40i recently passed 62,000 miles, and the extended warranty just expired. So it developed a coolant leak. Busy night.

I scheduled a PPI with a local shop, to sell mine to a coworker. On the upside he's an enthusiast, if he takes it it'll definitely be a good new home.

Oh! The Handschalter! Love it! My dealer didn't even know it existed. Seems the perfect replacement for a tired 135i. I hope they make enough that I can get one once the home remodel is complete.
