Hopefully no one knew where it came from !!

I accidentally let my foot slip at the bank once, as you know banks have that roof over whole thing. It hit like 6500, and my exhaust gets loud above 5000. It didn't help that there were people in each lane

After sitting for seven days during the winter storm, I went out and started it up and cleared the windshield. Perhaps I'll run a few errands tomorrow before a photo project on Tuesday.

I'm still trying it out. I may just get OG roundels again in the very near future just in case. It doesn't look the same in the photo as it does standing in front of it though. I've already gotten a few compliments and I've only had them on a couple hours haha

I just had Michelin A/S 4, ultra high performance tires installed, on my rwd E90. I must say, they’re really good in the snow. I’m talking around 1-3 inches of plowed snow. Anything over that, my E90 stays parked.

Looking forward to warmer weather, so I could give it a good wash and wax.

I might be having those installed today. Or maybe Continental DWS 06+

It's pretty nice out today so I managed to get my hood and trunk done, wheel centers will be done this week with the new wheels. What do you guys think? Excuse the glare and she needs a bath. BAD! That's next on the list today!

(Also it's florescent yellow, or "high viz") I work in construction as an equipment operator and it's my favorite color hahahah

You should also get your wheels painted this color along with getting your seatbelts in the same color. What the hell go all out and maybe to the interior trim too.

Then you'll complete the look and you will look like such a bad ass.

Nice I just picked some of those up for mine. Haven't installed yet, still have my snows on for now.

Costco has a great deal on the Michelin A/S 4 Pilot Sport.

We were doing garage pics, so here's a couple from me. The shop is a little cluttered, it's rainy season up here.

This gets even better. I bought this as just the manifold, no DISAs, throttle body, MAP sensor, etc. The seller called just now apologizing they couldn't find the one I bought in inventory, but he has one in a car and is gonna pull it and send it complete with bolt-ons and sorry for the inconvenience. Highly rec this seller oemstock

Yeah, I saw that. But, they won't reimburse money back for my old tires since I didn't buy them from Costco.

On the other hand, discount tire can reimburse money for my old Pirelli tires.

Got the Valtronic Motor Gasket replaced under warranty.

Missed the tire appointment I guess I'll reschedule it.

Meanwhile I bought one for definitely not that cheap and it came with no disa valves lol even though they were posted in the picture and I inquired about them but good thing eBay has nice buyer protection rules.

Thats a cool parent. I wish my dad did that when I was a kid.

Go figger I've had luck pretty often doing a PN search and looking for things ppl have misidentified in the description, or left out the pertinent part that makes it worth $, like this was just listed as "N51 Air Intake Manifold OEM 11617559523", nothing about 3-stage or good for upgrade or anything. I got that magnesium VC for $50 cause it was identified as a M52 VC, so matter how you search something is wrong with results, but the PN and pic were right.

Well I started the attempt at retrofitting the new handlebar switches to the old wiring harness. Turns out the old one is way more complex for whatever reason.. Old harness has more wires per switch than the R6 does lol
