The tow truck had to call a tow truck.

A Subaru showed up to do donuts, and he saved the day. I made a new friend!

SUBARU to the rescue.

Ran a diagnostics scan.

Got all these codes AND found out my FRM is faulty. Yay me.

Is that the Carly app?

ny325 · 01-10-2017, 02:15 AM

Poured a bucket of water on the side doors to remove salt. The roads in NYC are filthy.

Yeah. Its simple and useful. I keep the OBD2 connector in the armrest compartment and it just stays there in case I ever need to do a quick scan.

Anyway, I ordered 6 new ignition coils to replace them all.

I know that the misfires aren't caused by spark plugs because I replaced them ~12k miles ago so if the new coils don't solve the issue then I will talk to the dealer about the injectors because I qualify for the extended warranty on them.

I will also talk to the dealer about the FRM because I also qualify for an extended warranty on that and it's faulty because Carly didn't let me proceed with coding it.

Stage5Lurker · 01-10-2017, 12:20 PM

Towed it.

TomD335xicoupe · 01-10-2017, 12:26 PM

Had the shop replace lower steering shaft, steering was binding up and not returning, fixed the issue. Seems that this is a somewhat common issue, saw a few posts on it but could not find a DIY on point.

PTMedg · 01-10-2017, 12:49 PM

Put Leatherique Rejuvenator, let it sit for 4-5 hours and then used the Prestine Clean. Was extremely pleased with the results. Leather looks almost brand new.

Commute lol

ian3924 · 01-10-2017, 04:30 PM

Was a few days ago but had to pull her lazy ass out the mud

tcphoto · 01-11-2017, 04:54 PM

In my ongoing effort to get my car up to a reasonable standard, I pulled the wheels, cleaned them with Sonax, refinished the calipers and replaced the black and white centers with OEM. All after running to buy a breaking bar so I could break the over torqued lugs the PO left for me. The next project will be replacing the Roundels and having the wheels refinished because he was also a poor parallel parker.

spencers · 01-11-2017, 05:59 PM

Put new 265/35-18 Michelin AS3 tires on the rear.

Last pair only made it 18,200 mi. Probably due to buying new wheels/tires and not getting it aligned.

E30_335i · 01-11-2017, 06:11 PM

New track wheels on. D-Force LTW5 18x9.0" ET41

Got Brembo Brake Rotors, Pads and the brake bleeder kit in the mail from Bavarian Autosport.

b1mmr · 01-12-2017, 10:57 AM

Hit some shit on the road that the car I'm front of me hit.. hit was hard enough that I felt it but the BMW held up really well and it could've been worse. So what are my options short of getting the entire thing painted because I plan on going to an lci front end.

Rubbing compound and Dr. Colorchip. It'll be nice and concealed.

Alright, thanks for the suggestion. Dr color chip can handle this big of a spot?

E90Burgos · 01-12-2017, 06:43 PM

Installed switchback DTM Rings, blacked out the housing, tinted turn signal, dual projector mod and dual RGB demon eyes. Just have to get a couple bulb errors coded out and i'll be 100%.
