Is it stalling at idle on a cold start? I just took mine in for that. Startup to 1krpm then immediately stalled. 2nd time it would not stall but would fumble around between 800-1100 rpms. Apparently one of my sensors was loose. Been perfect ever since (since Friday)

So as not to get off topic, today I got her cleaned up. Now she just slides through the air like a hot knife through butter

Not exactly, mine goes from 1k rpm down to 600-700 on idle and then after 10 sec fumbles between 400-600 rpm up n down n rumbles n shakes it may be due to spark plug torques, 23nm is shit ton...204 in lbs is alot in my opinion but I torqued them just now we'll see....when bmw makes special spark plug torque tool there is reason for it lol..

Well I got alot done today, Talked to SA about Corrosion warranty (97k miles) and I have appointment on 30th for BMW NA rep to look at my rust spots before the warranty goes away.

Also did oil change today and looked over the bottom of the car. Man its a pain in rear to do this in driveway. Military base hobby shop has us spoiled with the lifts lol. Also Like my Plates? I was so freaking happy they where available. BMWE90 baby =) My roommate grabbed BMWE60 plates right after I told him mine where available for his 530i.

Another thing that blew my mind when I did the service interval reset for the Oil is 19k change interval...they gotta be nuts at bmw these days lmfao.

E92-Lightning vendor. $50 shipped for 3 pieces. They look good but only time will tell how they hold up.

Gave my driveway queen (E46) a nice drive around the block to keep the battery charged, and drove my E90 to harbor freight. =)
