UltraRacer13 · 01-31-2011, 01:33 PM

Ordered the AST 4100's and Vorshlag adjustable camber plates. Gettin the car ready for track season!

Wookie420 · 01-31-2011, 01:40 PM

Awesome man, can't wait to see the car after it's dropped!

acj75 · 01-31-2011, 01:43 PM

Sweet. Sounds like you're going to get to put your 4X4 to good use tomorrow! I ordered some new rear tires and I sure hope they come in today. There's no way I'm going to be driving in that stuff on slicks.

did you get them through Brian or go another route? What did you order?

acj75 · 01-31-2011, 01:53 PM

I just went through Discount. They said they'd price match Tire Rack and they'd have 'em by today. I got the same tires as last time, Hankook Ventus v12 Evo.

Speaking of track season, someone just posted a cool video from an autocross. I really want to do one. Who does those around here?

UltraRacer13 · 01-31-2011, 02:09 PM

Who do you guys recommend for oil changes around DFW?

michael1284 · 01-31-2011, 03:58 PM

buy some ramps and do it yourself?

it's ridiculously easy on this car since the filter is right in front and on top

That would be ideal. I've never done it before. Help a brother out?

michael1284 · 01-31-2011, 04:50 PM

Sure, I'll be doing mine soon also. Have to go find out where they are selling for $5/quart. I'll be using Mobil 1. I also have the OEM oil filter wrench too. And I have ramps.

I went to go buy mobil1 and the dude said it was half off three days before. $3.45 I would have bought the store out. (O'riely's)

Awesome. Let me know when you're doing it, and I'll bring over some beer or whatever. How often do you change yours?

michael1284 · 02-01-2011, 01:29 AM

Will do. I try to do it every 7500 miles.

im tempted to take the XI out to see what it can do.

michael1284 · 02-01-2011, 12:48 PM

Yep we can do them all at once. I've always used Mobil 1 in my cars. I tried reading and theres all sorts of myth's/facts?/stuff about the different ones. It's kind of like the tuner wars :P

Wookie420 · 02-01-2011, 12:57 PM

I've been reading about AMSOIL on another forum...lots of people seem to really stand behind it.

acj75 · 02-01-2011, 01:06 PM

What does BMW recommend? Feeling like I need to change pretty soon, especially after a few dyno runs.
