Broke 58k miles yesterday and of course had to stop for fuel as always. Close to 1000k miles on the rebuilt actuators and no issues so far.

I love that we can because our current plate isn't very nice looking.

Installed my new red start/stop button and ///M button as well!

Loving those wheels, look much better on the e9x than the F80. Lightweight and forged as well, can't go wrong! Did you buy them used? I often check the f8x section classifieds but never see them.

bought the wheels used
513m's don't always show up so you have to just jump on them
right after i purchased my set, i saw a new listing on the f80 forum with tires.. that listing went away in 1 day

i found mine on craigslist of all places
the seller is definitely an enthusiast and the wheels were in near perfect condition
his M coupe had HRE wheels and he had a spare set of Rays CE28's stacked in his garage

i think i saw a square set of 513m 18x10 rear's for sale yesterday
i don't know if the 18x10 et40 works on the front of the e9x or not though

I need to do this. Will it fit in the overhead compartment of a plane? I'm flying through Dallas on Saturday. I'm sure deansbimmer would bring one down to Love Field for me.

2008 e90 M3
seller had oil tested in Sept/Oct 2017 at 54,050 miles
lab said "great report"

i bought the car in May 2018 with 57514 miles
replaced rod bearings at 58,692 miles this week
with BE rod bearings and ARP bolts


and this is the condition the rod bearings were in
(they're not in any particular order)
i wanted to do it as insurance and for peace for mind
now i'm really glad that i did it

is there a master thread to post rod bearing condition?

Woke up to go to work and this happened.... 126K miles was as far as my original TA's were gonna last.
.... luckily I already had spares! I went ahead and replaced both after seeing the gear wear on bank 2.

Which jack stands are those? They look sturdy. Something I need to worry about now that I have to use jack stands... I miss my lift and big garage.
