Replaced the spark plugs in my 2011. Had an idle issue that refused to throw a code, but the new plugs seem to have fixed it. Doing the plugs in my 2006 tomorrow.

Installed my VRSF race front mount. Never had to cut out so much plastic in my life. I'd still be cutting if it wasn't for the dremel.

Also found my boost leak; meth bung on charge pipe decided to come loose and fly into the abyss. Need a replacement

$75 dollars later, I'm pretty pleased with the 335i style exhaust. Not bad for a base 328i 😂

Are using a diffuser underneath? Or just the individual stick on fins?

Haha.

Finally fixed my wastegate rattle!
No more rattle when the revs come down with wastegate settings at stock.
We will see if there is noticeable lag once I drive it.

Yeah Idk how I feel about it. It does look good, but I feel like it's similar to the guys that get the hell cat body kits on their v6 challengers.

I think it's fine as long as there's some kind of badging elsewhere. Posers aren't fun, but I don't mind it when someones just trying to make it look better (symmetrical) without pretending their car is a higher model

I agree with you, but unfortunately this car has been rebadged so unless you look for an intercooler it's pretty hard to distinguish the difference.

I was once considering doing a 335 exhaust and getting a custom plate that read NOTA335. lol.

Couldn't agree with all of you guys more, wasn't at all trying to pretend to be a 335i, I promise I'd never slap any 35i badging ANYWHERE, or an M badge 😂. The asymmetrical look of the 28i exhaust drives me crazy, I got the bumper for free and the 35i rear valence came w it, so thought mine as well do the dual exhaust. Even though now when I get beat by mid trim Infiniti's and C350s, they think they smoked a N54/55, so sorry forums.

Spent almost 3 weeks off an on doing a full paint correction, fixing the gouge in the front bumper (from previous owner) and fixing the gouges on the side skirt and the dings on the one wheel well (from previous owner). Learning to do do auto body repair sucks. It sucks even more on black sapphire metallic...

Cup Holder Fix

Been putting off fixing the cup holder.
The spring came off from the broken tab. Drilled a new hole next to it to hold the spring.
Works great!

I usually pull the spring tab through the original hole that has broken, and put a paper clip over the spring. The paper clip holds it in the original location.
