Haha lol I can jack your thread now :P
I'm actually sourcing the performance intercooler alone from Germany. Had too much trouble finding one that would be a good fit but our damn currency is making me pay $770 for it -_-

Lolwut
Pretty good deal for ~$2.500
Luckily it comes with the sticker
And apparently the new radiator fan is the same part number as a 335i radiator fan? Ask Socket for his lol

Definitely should be. I'll confirm when it arrives, I'm just not sure if it's worth $770

Thought u were going aftermarket?

I have been using the diesel from Shell lately, more for convenience than anything else.

Tank before that was Caltex prem diesel

Is the BP Ultimate any good?

Bp ultimate I feel is pretty good on both performance and is supposed to be cleaner. Only felt the effects after 1.5 tanks. The engine does seem quieter.
Am still in the process of checking if it is worth it in mileage. But so far think it's pretty good though the price seems a little higher

[plazski]

BP ultimate is better, feels smoother and you do get a bit more mileage out of a tank. I also have noticed the DPF doesn't go into regen as much maybe once or twice per tank.

I must be retarded, I can't tell the difference between any brands of diesel.

I lean towards thinking the shell diesel feels better than the Caltex diesel... but im not sure lol

When i had petrol i definitely thought Shell 98 was the best

I think there's some placebo magic going on here, like when I installed my high flow air intake, the engine sounded way better and the turbo was louder and I got so hyped up I swear I could feel it going a bit faster haha

She'll diesel Extra is definitely better to me but u need to find a station that sells it. Really does have a difference compared to the normal diesel the response is better

Haha maybe for BP ultimate diesel feels like its better as the engine seems quieter. BP Ultimate seems just as responsive as the shell extra too but only after 2 tanks no idea why.

What intake did you get on yours?

I have been looking at an intake on my car but not sure if its worth it $$ wise. K&N have a specific one for my car but its some apollo closed in system

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...?prod=57A-6041

Non power wise i still want to do the following;
Install KW coilovers (sitting in garage)
Paint calipers

[Boganian Rubes]

There weren't any cold air intakes for my car, so I found a kit from the uk for $200 (us prices charged $350) and it litre rally composed of a filter and a bracket to hold the filter. Also, go with a BMC air intake, I hear they're better

[Trev88]

Has anyone looked at getting a carbon fiber strut bar? There's a weichers one that looks cool but isn't as expensive as the BMW performance one

[Boganian Rubes]

Just use vinyl on the current one

[Boganian Rubes]

This will be Pyro in the future haha!
Man I love this :P
