btw where I can read this error code??!!?

OBD get me nothing, all good.

ISTA I dont have any ABS code.


Strange stuff, I flash some option via MHD for my tune, and the ABS light went off, but still have 4x4 error.

On jack stand all 4 wheels are rolling...


EDIT

Just remind me , if alignment is off, I will have a code , I had this issue in the past because I hit a pot hole.

Now, Ive just droped the car, 90% sure this is the issue.

Ive planned a appointment already next week, we'll see !

DSC module? But it should readily show, so maybe not that?

I had a dream about it yesterday, and pretty sure this is it : The steering wheel is not clocked at the right angle. I should have tape the wheel before removing the steering shaft.

Finally got around to a bunch of work I was putting off...replaced the oil pan gasket, did the water pump and thermostat with some coolant hoses/flush while I was there, along with engine and transmission mounts. And of course, a fresh oil change.

Sounds like you had a better day than Bims328i had...

wasnt that, INPA read it perfectly fine.

ISTA got nothing, so : alignment .

Proper wash and qd.
Saw a milion swirls after winter so one step polish is needed

[mattanderson]

Looks great!

I finished retrofitting the 3-stage intake manifold, along with a preventative starter replacement while I was in there.

Coded to 330i tune using Bimmerlabs and car feels awesome!

[Bims328i]

Finished the oil pan gasket job. Man, what a weekend.

Car runs but I broke the outer oil pump chain guide nub while dropping the pan. Had the hood fall down on the support bar because of wind and slightly weak struts (put a bump in the hood, left spider paint crack and I HAD replacements!) also found remains of BMW connector clips stuck up inside my oil pickup so it was certainly eventful.

Got stuck on the pan for a day and a half until I peered up into oil sensor port and finally noticed it was part of the damn crank that was in the way.

Cars... Been gone a long time. Months. Came back after being gone a spell, pulled car cover off. It looked the same. Still stand-offish attitude. "F you, but whatever". Had put a piece of cardboard underneath it when I left as a test. Surprisingly, not too many oil dribbles. Started it up and let it idle a while, give it a chance to wake up.


20 minutes later, we are topless and oil temp is around 240F and we are doing easy laps though some back roads. Enjoyable. You're just what I needed...

I’ve been recouping from a small surgery (nothing serious deviated septum’s and some sinus clean up) and have been away for a bit.

Quick update on the car I have the wheels swapped over and the car is much smoother. I’ll be swapping out the axle as soon as I’m allowed to by the doctor lol I think that’s the last piece of the puzzle to having a very smooth ride.

Here’s the most recent pic of her

[GavinE91]

Swapped out my Xenon bulbs because one went out on me!

Was able to replace both without removing the wheel or their fender liners because I don’t have a jack! Passenger side just took a turning of the wheel to the left, driver side involved removing the air intake box / hose. Acceded both bulbs through the “access hole” in the fender liners.

For a non-mechanic I’m proud. Struggled last time when replacing air filter but used a hair dryer and getting the hose back on this time around was easy!

Anyways, cheers and happy late Easter y’all. Take care

Nothing wrong with this at all!

Question

- Falken AZENIS FK510

OR

- FIRESTONE FIREHAWK INDY 500

I’ve read good reviews on the Firehawks.

I ran 2 sets, nothing wrong to say. Very well balanced for the price.

Now , the Falken are the same price, and they seems to get better review, but they are less popular, so not much info.

EDIT , went with falken, reviews are great, my other car got indy ( I want to compare) and I like the 'sleeper' look. They look like any cheap 4 season. Which fits my car. I have a stock look e91 with big T.

I read many good things about the Firehawks. A few years ago they were incredible tires for the price, but now the price has increased significantly to the point where there are many other tire options available. I considered these when tire shopping a few months ago but Michelin PS4s were only $150 more for the full set so I went with those instead. 6000 miles later and it's time to start thinking about replacements in a few months... and that's not even driving aggressively. I swapped them over to my 330, maybe they'll last longer there.


Now you got me looking at tires... Kumho Ecsta PS91 look good for a max performance tire, but I value treadwear longevity over peak performance these days so I'll likely go with an all season with a firmer compound that lasts longer.

once again , here we get screwed with tires.

on 265 R18 , (but the same $ ratio for all the sizes).

Falken : 315$ cad / tire
indy 500 : 325$ cad / tire
PS4 : 509$ cad / tire


add 15% taxes over that.

No experience with either model, but I think generally Falken makes great tires. On two of our cars. Kind of my go-to unless a good deal of Michelin or Conti.

[dsuraci]

I have the Indy 500's (2 sets over the years). Great "bang for the
buck " tire. No issues and the look good too.

I cancelled my five month old order for VMR V703's, the backorder was extended till June. I like the CSL look so I'll be looking for an alternative, unfortunately the APEX ARC8 is also on backorder.
