Not a 340....imho. The light steering just is a Hall and Oates--NO CAN DO.

Me? Seems that I've been obsessed with the windshield washer jets as of late, so yep, I sprayed my windshield all along the way to work...

Aw shit...how could I forget the F80 (?) it is on the list after the M2.

I really like the M2, it has a real M suspension, but it has numerous examples of cost cutting, and personally I'd rather have a real M motor...I found the crooked driver's seat to be imho bizarre for cost cutting.

Anyway, I've warmed up to the notion of used, i.e. would rather have a used F80 than a new M2....just my .02. I know the steering is something we'd all have to live with...

Ordered a whole new valve cover. The gasket is still leaking, and I've discovered a hairline crack at one of the seams. I can't seem to understand why BMW uses plastic covers instead of cast metal. It's ridiculous that a critical piece like this can fail under normal conditions. The leaks, I accept as my fault.....but the crack is outrageous.

Anyway, I also flashed the Cobb Stg2+ Aggressive file after installing the fmic and dp's, and it's a TOTALLY different animal. Loving my car again.......but she's parked until the new VC arrives

overdrivex · 09-05-2016, 10:27 PM

Tried removing my PE muffler to see what it sounds like...little too loud and a lot of vibrations! May be because I also have the 2nd cats deleted and the res delete pipe from my PE. Now I'm thinking I should go for either the AA catless headers or AFE catted headers.

ipbln · 09-07-2016, 04:44 PM

Fill 'er up

John 070 · 09-07-2016, 05:54 PM

Let her rest again, despite the new pss. Took the 1998 Nissan to work. Driving the '16 328i xdrive rental seems like a lifetime ago. It is beyond bizarre how tight the Nissan's steering is in contrast. The clutch and stick are really stiff though, not in a good way, whereas the 335's are soft and silky....

Takes a bit longer than 15 minutes. There's so many videos on YouTube skim through the videos and see which video suites you and your car the best.

Dr.325i · 09-08-2016, 07:38 AM

Added oem front splitter

JasW · 09-08-2016, 11:50 AM

Added inlets and outlets and the N20 TMAP sensor. Whoa.

That much of a difference, huh?

Those might be next on my list.......after some much needed suspension mods.
