You can see the Dinan intake carbon fiber doesn't exactly match the Eventuri as I did the intake years ago but it works for me.
And here I am, happy over new wipers - wow that looks nice, and I can only imagin how it sounds!

Pricey to be sure but really I love driving the car so much so I threw caution to the wind.

Ordered some car related items. I am particularly interested if the JB Plastic weld will allow me to repair the tabs on the rear console of my e90. I've had a lot of success with their products in the past. There are other options out there but they start to cost as much as a replacement unit.

Also picked up some felt tape to chase down some rattles which appeared after replacing the rear window actuator and some trim pieces.

Definite improvement and it's tough to improve on an already great sound.

90k maintenance - valve cover gasket replacement which also lead to new spark plugs, new fluids (trans, brake, rear diff, oil), mounted winter tires and had to replace TPS in all four wheels

new spark plugs have brought this 91k mile engine back to life
