I did not leave it on as it probably shouldn't be in there. Directions that came with new parts said to remove it. I didn't really want that against the bearing in there. Good stuff tackling the job!

Thanks! I'll probably purchase a new bolt and take it out then. I just went based on what I saw on the old one. Although i had that in there for the three years i owned it without any problems.

I can't speculate how long mine was in there for but lots of dirt caked on it so that decided it for me. That being said, it was not the source of my problem so it may be fine there, unless it was stuck and not spinning.

Mine looked like that when I removed it as well. I think I might just leave it there this time around. I haven't had any issues with it in the past, and I'll just keep a close eye on it every now and then. I'm thinking I should be okay.

danielfastv6 helped me get my x-drive suspension up to snuff...KW v1 really transforms the car! No more brake dive, much less roll, and going over bumps is less harsh even though the suspension is much stiffer than stock!

Thanks Tiago@VRSF for hooking me up with the hardware

Manberg · 04-24-2016, 12:52 AM

Rear pads and rotors, adjusted my emergency brake, adjusted my ride hight to match side to side in the rear(lol). Ride hight was like 12mm different. Realigned my car since I just put new Pirellis on last week.

DirtKurt · 04-24-2016, 12:14 PM

Picked up this little gem on friday, 100% brand new 3.46 rear diff with diffsonline.com custom 60/40 3 plate clutch type lsd. No more peg leg opend diff bs.

bloppitybloop · 04-24-2016, 02:33 PM

Replaced my engine air filter and cleaned my wheels. Shined them sumbtiches up real nice.

Jsoboti · 04-25-2016, 02:43 PM

Plugs and coils. Hearing the chirping noise which means valve cover is going to need replacement soon too

NEFARIOUS · 04-25-2016, 05:15 PM

I didn't do it "today" but last night (I got so exhausted I just showered and went straight to bed)... Changed the axle, struts (which was so worn down it doesn't spring back up), replaced the motor mount, refurbished the UCA hydrobearing and mount (circled; that was surprisingly the hardest part... I had to take the entire bearing assembly and give it 7 tries with a shop press to get that tiny SOB out).

Shaking when driving, clunking noise going over a rough road, vibration on low-speed turns (e.g. parking)... ALL GONE.

alfazrus · 04-26-2016, 03:04 AM

Bimmian upgraded shift knob.

chris98m3 · 04-26-2016, 03:20 AM

Done a bunch in the last two weeks. New to me e91 got H&R cup kit, M3 lower front arms,
VMR 710's and started wrapping the interior trim last night.

I have the 2ch version installed as well. Though I opted to mount the front unit below rain sensor and I'm also regretting that decision now.

How do you feel the view angle is at that height? mind sharing a still

Tsujen · 04-26-2016, 02:04 PM

Hmm, this looks really interesting. Since I got my car broken into recently and since I don't trust other people on the road, I think I might get one of these, but how does it handle storage? Is there an SD card in the body of the camera itself? I feel like if someone is going to break in my car, they'll just brake off the camera and take it with them which means I would never have access to the files on it. I see on Amazon they have one with cloud service (10GB on the cloud)... Also how does it do in low light situations and does it get motion activated?

Many questions, but before I spend money on something like this, i want to hear what others who have it have to say about it.

Thanks!

Shot the nozzle off my pressure washer wand which proceeded to bounce off my hood like a bouncing ball. Nice little scuff. Lost the nozzle too, probably hasnt landed yet.

Great day

cranelec · 04-29-2016, 07:31 PM

Installed JB4 Stage2 on my 335i xDrive. Amazed at the difference

I'm not paying mind to the dirty wheels... mostly because you are driving a pick up truck not an E9X with that wheel gap!

Wheel gap on my old 328xi was not as big, i bet the car was just dropped from a car jack/stands and the suspension didn't settle ..

NiNeTyOne · 04-29-2016, 11:20 PM

Ordered these bitches, and the matching rears, along with floating rotors all the way around.
