Hey guys, first post here.

I've been browsing the forums for years now, and just recently put a down payment on a 2011 CPO 335i xdrive with msport package. Can't wait to get it in a week or two!

I'm currently in the Akron area, but will be moving to Dayton in June for work. Looking forward to getting to know some people!

Hey I was born and raised in Wadsworth! ECS is a great place. Lots of beautiful cars!

Good luck with the new job. If you don't mind me asking, what will you be doing there?

Actually went to their address the other day thinking they had a store front! I live in Medina (just north of Wadsworth). LOL!!

It's a nice area. Easy to get to Akron and Cleveland.

Finally got the 197's with the summers on, still got to get the 330i out of storage though. How about anyone else from northeast Ohio, finally thaw out?

thompsac25 · 04-09-2014, 08:43 AM

Any of you local guys have wastegate rattle? If so, did any of you do anything to fix it?

David1 · 04-09-2014, 10:51 AM

Did my subframe bushing inserts last Saturday. They make a big difference.

How much worse is your ride quality?

It isn't really worse to me. Hard to describe since I am not near stock on the suspension anyways. Lets say I can now feel and hear expansion joints in the road just like the front. Tomorow I get the car aligned and then I will install my other set of wheels with super sport tires that should be a little softer than the PS2 runflats on the car now.

We need to compare our setups! I love what the M3 bits did to my car. I did the whole bushing in the rear though, not the inserts.

^ I'll be the unbiased 3rd party in the ride alongs.

Should help me decide which ones I go with

Ph3n0m · 04-09-2014, 03:11 PM

Just bought a 2007 335i manual sedan! 50k miles in Cleveland, OH. Passed emissions today and had a question. I didn't even see them do a visual inspection for the cats... I just ordered the BMS DP fix - ie xcat on CP-e's site. I'm likely getting downpipes - how difficult or fast would they perform the visual check? I literally looked away for two seconds and they were driving it onto to the deck for the OBD II portion. Afterwards they checked the gas cap and sent me on my way... Thoughts?

I'll need to pass in 2015 then will get two years off. I could always wait so I have a full two years but as it sits I'm good until next August and I'll be ready to get to mod'ing soon as it's 70 outside routinely.

I avoid Sawmill like the plague. Cars and coffee this Saturday at the Cup O Joe at Lennox should have a good turn out though.

Some nights actually are not half bad. It just depends what "groups" go out there. I have to work this weekend but I'm game for next. I've been wanting to go since Paul told me about it before he even had it set up haha

Oh I must be unaware of what goes on at Sawmill on weekend nights. I was just referring to the horrendous traffic.

Ah gotcha. Friday and Saturday nights a lot of car people meet up at the old Circuit City by HH Gregg. At least half are the teenage tuners that are sometimes very obnoxious but there have been a few times where its the more laid back group with the high power cars. You should come check it out some time, even if you don't think it may be your scene. I've seen people there from 16 in hondas up to 60+ in Rolls Royce Phantoms... The BMW group is getting bigger too!

thompsac25 · 04-10-2014, 01:57 PM

I was rolling behind a black e92 on 747 earlier. Lowered, black kidneys, CF spoiler, sounded like it had downpipes with stock exhaust. I was hoping to stop next side by side at a light but didnt have that chance.

Was it anyone on here?

Yes 747 in West Chester. The lights werent blacked out though.

Rasher · 04-10-2014, 04:27 PM

That was me in the black e92 and I came here to check to see if you here but you beat me too it. I just moved over this way and I was happy to see your car. It is very nice.

My car is a 6mt and I bought it when I was out toward the country with very few stoplights. Now that I am in stop light hell, I regret that decision
