I used to have an Injen cold air intake a long time ago on my Nissan Silvia and I liked it.
I don't know the quality of it these days as I am using BMS DCI but just like every after market intake out there you ought to wash/oil twice a year (late Spring and late Fall).

I just wanted to thank BDMbimmer (Rob) for coding my car a couple of days ago!!! He did a great job and he is also a really nice guy. I recommend him to anybody who would like to get their car coded, and who would like to encourage our regional member from the forum!!!
Thanks Rob!!!

Well, this is the news!! I was looking into this as well since my car is March 2011 production and I want BMW apps as well. How can I get in touch with Rob?
BDMbimer, could you send me a PM so we can set it up, please.

I'd like to meet up also.

clairvoyant · 07-15-2011, 08:43 AM

I am thinking about that Broadway Grill in Barrhaven.....
Lunch hour on Saturday, that place was packed with hotties.....(and yuppies unfortunately).
The trick is that we have to come earlier around 11:00. I am thinking about July 23, 2011.

I'll still be flying back from Dallas tomorrow.
Hope you guys have a good meet up. Also driving a BMW and negative connotation towards yuppies seems a bit pot-kettle-black.

Just noted the 23rd part.
If I'm not in Cairo that weekend I'll see if I can meet up, but the time clashes with my sons swim lessons.

I need a good excuse for a good car cleaning.

clairvoyant · 07-15-2011, 10:17 AM

Hey nsx2000x:
There is a good Tex Mex restaurant in Dallas called Ojeda.
4617 Maple Avenue, Dallas - (214) 528-8383
Its chilli relleno is the best in DFW area. You should try....

================================================== ====
The meet and greet day/time is flexible so is the place. If you have other suggestions, please chime in so the Ottawa quorum will decide.

The meet location sounds intriguing.
Swim lesson is 11:30-12:00. So perhaps I can grab a drink at the end of lunch.

DFW: everyone says I should check out Bone Daddies tonight.

Last night we went to Boi Na Braza

clairvoyant · 07-15-2011, 10:53 AM

Bone Dady's in Grapevine, TX (by the airport) is one of the best BBQs around.
I usually go to the one in Spring Valley Rd, in Richardson, TX.
When I am in DFW, I usually venture Tex-Mex restaurants and Deep Ellum area for live bands, etc.

I went to the Bone Daddy's near the airport. I had a pulled pork sandwich.

To keep this BMW E90 related.

My E90 >>>>> Shitty base Mitsubishi rental car I was driving.

clairvoyant · 07-16-2011, 10:32 PM

Yeah...my bad on the irrelevant topic...good ol' days long gone
in DFW....Nortel, bonus, etc.
Hey be happy, you didn't drive Kia.

Anyone know where the Otto's/Elite send their cars for paint work? Someone bumped my car and left a some scratches on the bumper, and I was gonna try fixing it myself before paying a pro. I read elsewhere that the paint shops sell the touchup paint for cheaper than the dealers.
I'll post some pics when there's light out in case anyone has some advice. I should note I have no experience painting

What colour do you have? Maybe someone on here already has the marking touch up paint.

For the record I have a bottle of Jerez Black (M3

Montego Blue. I think I've seen one or 2 others around Ottawa, didn't figure anyone would have any touchup kicking around.

Here's the major scratch:

Different view with some minor scapes:

And the 2nd round little scrape (it's in the lower half, that upper white is just the flash reflecting):

clairvoyant · 07-20-2011, 08:14 PM

By looking at the photos, you need to sand it before doing any painting.

The cheaper but more extensive work (not recommended):

The alternative to the dealer yet worry free is around $500 (compared to $800 the dealer smiley price):
