Hey everyone,

Someone ripped the spoiler off of my e92 yesterday while I was at work.. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell it. Or if it was you, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Can't believe stuff like that happens...

This has probably been asked already, but has anybody had a good experience with a coder? I'm looking only for simple stuff like close windows with key and turn lights up to european spec.

Let me know
Thanks,
Dom

Hey everyone,

I just got a 2009 E90 328i from BJ BMW and I'm loving it so far. New to BMWs but not new to cars. I've already deleted the charcoal filter, debadged the rear, given the interior the LED treatment and hardwired my dashcam. Next changes will be clear bumper reflectors, Homelink mirror, sunglasses holder and a Lux V3 kit since the AEs are the DRLs on my xenon headlights.

I have a BT OBD dongle from my prior car that it works with the Carly app so I might pick up the full version and play around with some coding. I'm also considering a PBX or the AA tune; I'm happy with the stock performance but the gas pedal lag is annoying.

Oh, and I'm looking for stock 17" wheels to replace my 16" set. There's a set of 284s on Craigslist but unfortunately the tires are the wrong size.

The only issue so far is an oil leak. BJ replaced the valve cover gasket prior to sale but I just noticed an existing leak from the oil pan gasket. Hopefully it's covered under their "90 day mechanical warranty" but I'm not hopeful.

Hey, do u know of any decent body shops for vehicle inspection prior to a 2nd hand BMW deal? I am currently dealing with this guy and we are closing to a deal soon. I know obvious answers are BMW but they are closed on sundays or even saturdays I believe. And something that wouldnt cost an arm and a leg would be ideal.

Prefer richmond, or vancouver area.

Just following up that BJ BMW took care of me and replaced the oil pan gasket under warranty. Very happy with their service!
