Ordered new summer rubber (Potenza S-04 Pole Position) and some reconditioned 18" OEM BMW style 313 (from the 335is) wheels. Bring on the warm weather

Start with the rotors then work from there before working on the suspension.
Got # 6 replaced at Turner. Stock car, 71k miles, sparks and coils replaced prior to #6.
Symptom is rough cold starts for a few seconds. Everything stabilizes itself around when the exhaust flap opens.

That is my current plan. Change brakes first as they are not safe when braking from highway speed. Then possibly wheels after. Last time I got told some wheels looked egged a little, but I expected the roadforce balance to fix this. My oem ones look like crap now, and I can use them as winter wheels .

Niiiiice! I also have those wheels 335is comes with 19s though. They definitely have OEM 18s though (like I said I have those) just be sure they are 335 offset and not 135 offset (135 have higher offsets)

Yeah I made sure to double check that, good point though! Thanks. I was so excited to find out that I could get the wheels in 18" but I did make sure to check the stats first before ordering.

The offsets/sizes are the same as the 189's: 18x8 offset 34 and 18x8.5 offset 37

Yup! Exact same as mine! I have 12mm and 15mm spacers on front and rear, respectively with 225/255 and I think they are perfect

Yep i'm planning on running 225/40 and 255/35 as well. Only difference is that my spacers are slighter smaller (10mm and 12mm) but I've really been debating on switching to 12/15 just to close up that minimal gap left over. I think 12/15 would be perfect too, maybe I'll sell my 10mm and grab a 15 and move them around

We sell more 12/15mm combos than any other for E90/E92's. It's by far the most popular choice that suits most setups.

You could even technically get 15mm front and 18mm rear if you wanted especially if you have stock suspension. There was definitely more room in the front. The rear rub a BIT on really bad bumps but I also have eibach lowering springs.

I got my spacers from @[Tiago@VRSF] good stuff

Well a pleasant surprise indeed. I ordered new TPMS from Amazon and the shipping info said they would take 2 weeks to ship but I got an email saying they went out 2nd day air and they are already out for delivery.

For the Andover lunch crew, have you guys been to the UBurger that just opened downtown? I like their burgers and their orange creamsicle shake is pretty yummy. If you're looking for a Sauce alternative, definitely check it out. I haven't been there for lunch during the week yet, but it doesn't seem as crowded for dinner.

actually the first TSB they put out was to replace the piston rings but they found that not to work so they are replacing the entire short block

I've heard stories that this still doesn't fix the oil consumption issue and SOA actually bought the car back from some people

According to Subaru’s research, lesbians are "four times as likely as their heterosexual counterparts to own a Subaru."

What do you guys think about Apple and the FBI?

Personally I think apple made a stupid move and look worse day by day as the FBI is now going to previous cases where they had a phone but were unable to access it.

The terrorists purposefully tried to destroy all electronic evidence so it makes sense there is potentially something on the phone they didn't want the FBI to get: their leader, other cells, etc. Apple should have just dumped the data and looked like a 'good guy' trying to help stop terrorists murdering innocent Americans.

Apple was perfectly just to tell the FBI to get lost. Apple can't "dump the data" when they don't have the key to the lock. I don't want Apple having a master key to my phone. I don't want anyone having the master key to my phone. Break the encryption yourself, FBI.

They have the ability, they are refusing to do so imo. Many industry experts said they don't believe apple can't access the data. You really think they made something so amazing and so encrypted that they who made it can't access it? What I think is bullshit is they were not even willing to assist in any way. 14 dead Americans who probably had isheep phones are dead due to a major attack on US soil.

National Security trumps individual privacy, especially the privacy of a dead fucking terrorist.

It took the FBI under 2 month's to do it without apple's help. So F apple, thanks for not helping.
