Used NCSExpert with BMW coding tool and NCS Dummy to do a whole lot.......

4) Increased lock while moving speed from 10 to 20 MPH
5) Added digital speed readout to cluster
6) Activated comfort closing - all windows and sunroof by holding remote button
7) Activated automatic folding mirrors with comfort closing
8) Changed automatic folding mirror delay from 1.5 seconds to "instant"
9) Coded fog lights to stay on with High Beams
10) Coded fog lights to stay on with flash high beams
11) Disabled i-drive legal disclaimer (on wife's BMW)
12) coded all doors unlock with single press of remote, instead of 1 for driver and 2 for the rest
13) coded Activate rear fog lights with welcome lights
13) coded Unlock doors automatically with key removal
14) coded trunk to release even if car locked
15) coded trunk to release with short press of remote not long press
16) coded remote buttons to work while remote inserted in ingnition

Washed, waxed and lower grills painted/plasti dipped black. Also ordered an Aero Lip.

Ghetto jack stand adapters

My jack pads were mangled by the previous owner. I've been using 1" square steel tubing (from Home Depot Motorsports) as adapters for my jack stands but it's a pain as they don't stay in place. To address this I glued a neodymium magnet to the inside of each pad so that it holds the steel tubes in place and the result is pictured above.

The magnets were salvaged from old hard drives:

You can buy replacement jack pads pretty cheap.

I only know this because one of mine got caught when backing off a drive on lift and ripped it out. Just got the replacement today. Cost me $12 US from Amazon.

cjl1197 · 03-17-2017, 11:12 PM

Finally added spacers. 12mm up front and 15mm in the back. Also installed Aero lip.

ny325 · 03-19-2017, 12:03 AM

Stared at it, then apologized for being so dirty. The roads here in the Tristate are full of salt and snow. And spring starts Monday.

Seattlesquash · 03-19-2017, 08:51 AM

Did front brake pads, about 2 months ago with Textar pads with turned rotors and new wear sensor, and unfortunately they never stopped squeaking. So just re-did them with the oem BMW pads and perfect now without any noice. That's what I get for going cheap I guess! I was on the fence about these or the Hawk HPS but wife likes the instant bite with oem so took this route.

Set for another 50k miles or so, and likely karma after being a bit too proud that my full front brake job cost me under $100 first time around!

Everything came through the bottom.

Pretty good chance the pump housing cracked. Maybe you got luck and it's only the "U" hose.

Drop water into the expansion tank hose water coming out from behind the engine.

ANY IDEAS?

I washed it then watched the pollen immediately start accumulating.

N54Twin · 03-21-2017, 06:06 PM

Found the cause of my leak.

Rear turbo coolant hose.

Welcome to NBA Jam · 03-21-2017, 07:37 PM

Went to a service clinic today. They couldn't find any problems, and I got to play around with a 7 series. The technology in it is absolutely ridiculous. With your car parked, you get a Google Street view look of your own car and the surroundings, and you can pan around with gestures in the air. It's absolutely ridonc.
