Spotted a JB? E90 near PGBT and DNT heading towards 35, was a 335, seems like just a drop and wheels (something with a straight lip, seemed like LC's)

Thx for cuttin me off, but not awfully bad. Anyone on here?

michael1284 · 08-13-2012, 09:38 AM

lol ben i saw someone that looked almost like that - couldn't see the wheels but i thought it was raymond (painfulsedative) but it wasnt

he was driving fast when i saw him too off 121 - he was heading towards DNT - around 8pm.

I've seen a few 335's in The Colony (minus MC). I'm usually in my truck though.

I roll through TC fairly regularly. I live in far West Frisco, so I am up and down main street from time to time.

artifice · 08-15-2012, 08:08 PM

HAHA, that was funny. I can see you, but you can not see me :0.

My tahoe is a rarity, it has a split rear door and it has hail damage with some illegal tint. OH and only 1 working window. lol! I'm working on repairing it all, just been too dang hot.

impactplayer · 08-16-2012, 05:39 PM

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go for intake valve cleaning? Are any shops or individuals doing it cheaper than BMW of Dallas?

Wookie420 · 08-16-2012, 06:02 PM

Not sure what they charge yet, but I'm having Cobb do mine in about 5K miles. They also use denatured alcohol instead of walnut shell blasting, if you want.

impactplayer · 08-17-2012, 12:13 PM

Thanks Wookie.

I called all of the area shops and here is the price breakdown:
- BMW of Dallas: $899
- Autobahn BMW: $650-700
- Classic BMW: $650-700
- Cobb: $950 (walnut blast or denatured alcohol)
- Autoscope: $700 (walnut blast or solvent method)
- Eurosport: had no clue what I was talking about
- Moritz BMW: had no clue what I was talking about

These prices are super high. Was hoping for somewhere in the $500 range, but I don't think that is going to happen unless an individual does it locally.
