BMW considers this a "feature" of the S65. Short time duration weight loss.

Oh, I thought you were supposed to take out that subframe to save weight?

Mine is helium filled.

Went for a 10 mile spin driving "spirited" - bounced off redline 10 or so times. Seems to be good, no leaks!! I'm so happy it worked out. Treated the oil with Liqui Moly Ceratec too, so we'll see how it goes. (Using Castrol TWS 10-60 Professional)

Nice. Does the car seem smoother with the ceratec?

Maybe? Hard to tell, placebo maybe.

Some thoughtful people want to surprise me and help me with some race car weight reduction. Such kind people out there. I didn't even ask too! Generous.

roastbeef · 07-23-2016, 04:07 PM

Some asshole just did that at your house or did you have the car out?

Drove 300 miles Friday and I swear I'm getting better gas mileage. 22 mpg from Redwood City CA to Hanford CA.

It had to happen outside yesterday. Probably at dinner or something. Didn't drive it all week.

Trying to figure out what the point of doing that would be :/

Almost want this to happen to me so I can replace my battered track-sandblasted bumper

I'll be there the full weekend. Time to try out these new Maxxis RC1 tires.

roastbeef · 07-23-2016, 10:23 PM

Just get it filled at a bodly shop, pull the fuse for those worts, and rattle can that bumper.
