Anyone looking for some style 189's? Selling mine with stock run flats.

Tires still are good on them.. Looking to see what I can get for them.

Hi Guys! My name is Andre. running an 09 335i. I posted a thread before i saw this but i guess i'll ask here too... do we have a shop in chicago that will roll fenders? I have a set of 19" M3 220s and although they haven't rubbed yet, i think they might if i hit big enough dips. I'm just being very careful for now and haven't had any issues.

Also i'd be interested in any meets! I don't know many people with BMWs but would definitely like to chill and see/hear others. I haven't done much modding to the car yet... used to drive a heavily modded A4 before. Currently i only have a JB4. will get some other basic bolt ons before summer hits but not much else. My modding days are over lol.

You say that now... But given the massive developments with the N54 over the past two years, no one that buys an N54 nowadays can keep it stock :-)

And welcome to the forums. There is a TON of info on here, n54 tech and BB. Read up and it is a wealth of knowledge!

As for meet ups, with the warm weather (hopefully) here to stay, that will definitely be happening much more often. Where are you located in the Chicagoland area?

bmwMcrzy · 03-16-2016, 11:33 AM

Chitownm.com meets Every Wednesday 7 pm snow, rain or shine.
Tonight meet is @ Brickhouse in Niles (5650 W Touhy Ave).
We have a few regulars with N54s.

Did I hear that you're building the new motor from the ground up for some forced induction??

J/k

I'm recovering from ankle surgery right now, so I'm out this week. But hope to meet up with you guys a bit more this year.

bmwMcrzy · 03-16-2016, 04:02 PM

I'm spending quite a bit money refreshing the used engine.
Hoping forced induction will come in 2017.

asishoulebe · 03-22-2016, 01:05 PM

Anybody in Chicago have a Spare 162 style wheel?
or any OEM 18" Wheel?
Recently changed from Run flat to NRF and in need of a spare wheel
Thanks!

Hey sorry work has been crazy! I don't think I've had a day off in over a month (yes I work weekends too).

I've been reading up a lot on these and other forums in the past couple of days. since I put my JB4 in I've been misfiring on Cylinders 3 and 4... changed plugs and coils no improvement. so i'm changing the injectors. However I have a surface pro 2 running windows 10 and was having a hard time getting the coding software to work properly. Finally got everything working though, and i'll be installing this weekend. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

Right now I live around Norridge/Harwood Heights. I work in the city or in Norridge depending on the day. i'm around the city or northwest Chicago/subarbs all the time so i'd be down for any meeting up in the near future.

Dang, that sucks. Hope you have a speedy recover. Did you have to get screw or anything like that?

Game · 03-29-2016, 05:19 PM

How many of you guys are mounting your summer tires on already? So tempted.

Car out of the Garage. Summer wheels are on. I hope I'm not jumping the gun but 50's & 60's, I don't think the snow will be back until Winter.
