Does anyone on here in the DFW area have the Spec Stage 3+ clutch? I'd like to hear what the rattle sounds like in person!

sd306 · 06-10-2016, 06:36 PM

I was just at a gas station and the ethanol sticker showed 51%-83%.

How can they call it e85 still

Bent_remy · 06-12-2016, 11:59 PM

Whose going down this weekend and when? Any one organize a convoy from DFW to Austin? I'm leaving Saturday morning. Looking for a few guys to roll down with.

I called the place and they are quoting around 700 to 800, doesnt seem like they do the job much because the place that normally does the repair work on my cars is charging 475. I may end up taking it there. I was hoping to save a few bucks by calling around.

I am going to take it to Bimmers Only in Carrollton.

If you drive a lowered (coilovers?) white 335d and were in Arlington on I-20 about where it crosses the 287 today 06/20 at about 4:40 PM:

You are my twin. I passed you on the right side at the Bowman Springs exit. I honked and waved at you.

I'd be interested in finding out what suspension you had, and tires and spacers. You looked like the tires were wider, and you had coilovers I'm fairly sure.

I'm looking for a good suspension mod. Fill me in !!

This thread has been about as active as a paraplegic table dancer.

Any increase in activity would be appreciated. (At least by those of us who check this thread more than once a year.)

larrysing · 08-16-2016, 08:42 AM

Anyone know of a shop in NM/TX/OK/LA/AR which does what BPC in Raleigh does, at least ALMOST as well?

I want to get my 335d ECU-tuned/ABC-deleted but would rather find a shop closer to DFW than Raleigh is.

I haven't seen any indication that there is a good one closer, just wanting to tap into the community here to see if I have missed someone.

Thanks much.

bimmerlew · 08-27-2016, 08:42 PM

Probably an odd request, but what performance options does the N51 SULEV have? Nothing agressive; the car will not be tracked. Looking for some extrat SOTP performance. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

STurnerXM2010 · 12-01-2016, 10:41 AM

CAI, suspension, and exhaust is about it (to my knowledge).
OR!! You could go this route...

Anyone have 2 good coils for 335i they would like to sell? Please send me a PM if you do.

WTB: BMW Spare tire donut with cover, carrying tote, and tool kit (non-M)

Posting here since I'm looking for local - shipping on that ish is super-pricey.

Wassup fellas! New to the BMW fam -- was wondering if any of you guys can help me register the battery in my e90 335i?

I'm in the North Dallas area.

slinkygn · 05-22-2017, 07:41 PM

Anybody got that ludicrously priced N54 front main seal puller/install kit that would be willing to loan it out for a not-too-unreasonable number of beers?

Walnut blasting: I was thinking of just biting it and buying the stuff for it myself. I've got shop air available, so figure I can get away with doing it for under $700 all said and done anyway.

I live about 60 seconds away from Import Car Center; those guys have never struck me as particularly friendly, nor particularly willing to cut a deal. I don't know who in there would offer to do it for under $500, but I imagine I haven't run into them yet. Heard good things about Bimmers Only, though -- how'd that end up working out?

Last q: anyone else here a Dallas Makerspace member?
