Makes it look as if it's made out of plastic. Vinyl wrap or one of those CF covers will look much better.

Turned up the boost on my new PI install. I have been running on Map 1 for a few weeks while we make sure everything is ok. Going to Map 7 is eye opening. Map 26 will be beastly. Off now to hunt for an SRT.

Replaced all the ignition coils/spark plugs. Found a random ground wire just hanging off the passenger side of the engine, not connected to anything. Still trying to figure out where it should go. Must have looked at exploded diagrams for an hour today.

Added Beryne wheels did a spark plug change and valvetronic gasket change. No leaks found yet in spark plug wells so no valve cover gasket change due yet.

Changed my oil; switched from BMW 5w-30 to Motul 8100 x-cess. Seems like it runs cooler and smoother. We'll see.

Fitted 10mm spacers to the front, and 12mm to the rear of my 09 E90 LCI with 189 wheels.

And cleaned the insides of the rims while they were off the car!

Threw on a set of V710s, the exact wheels I wanted. Got em for a good deal locally. 4x4 mode times a million and spacers definitely required. Will rock em as-is for the rest of summer then prep for coils/spacers in spring. Might paint them hyper silver as well unless the matte black grows on me.

Yeah I really wanted hyper silver but these were too good to pass up. I think I'll try and DIY a paint job over the winter.
