Decent airflow through the vent retained. Looks sharp

Interesting. I have seen a couple vent gauge displays but I like this one best. What all is involved in the installation? What boost sensor did you use? Looks really good!

It's not a bad installation. I used automobile vacuum hose coming off a 1/8" npt fitting on the left rear edge of the Harrop, which comes plugged with a hex bolt from the factory. I circled the hose behind the engine and through the firewall via the wiring harness gasket beneath the brake fluid reservoir. The P3 gauge comes with an analog boost gauge as an option, and I simply plugged the vacuum hose right to it. The unit plugs into the obd2 outlet for power and data. The cover still snaps right over it, so you don't know it's there. You can also hardwire it into the obd2 harness but I decided not to since the obd2 plug worked so well. It'll slide right off if/when I need to access it. Probably less than 2 hours total. There's a nice 7 minute video on YouTube from P3

I'll post vids when I get it dialed in.

Now that I got the steering vibration solved. I'm going to give the FC spacers a shot. If they are as good as they say they are I'll replace my MS rear spacers with them as well.

Avoid starvation for example coming up the S-es at Watkins Glen International and sifting from 5th to 6th (DCT)

Or Palmer coming into T-4 and dropping from 5th into 4h-3rd (up hill sharp right)

I did not need this for street driving. looks like a factor only for track day

Replaced rear right roof trim on my E93. Had started to fail in the spring and I didn’t quite realize it… then it really failed a couple of months ago. Only possible to buy the entire roof trim set, which actually worked in my favor as there was a small piece of the adjacent trim that broke as well. The trim pieces come primed but not painted - I’m going to see about vinyl wrapping them all and possibly the chrome trim too. All in all the repair wasn’t too bad - fortunately the retaining springs didn’t get toooo bent out of shape.

Edit: oops pic posted wrong orientation but you get the idea

Must be Australian.

Found some bad news about my car. My taillights rubbed some paint where the bumper meets the QP and has created surface rust. I really don't want to spend a grand to fix something so small but I guess I gotta do it eventually.

Otherwise car still runs solid. Still need to get the updated tune from Alex@Alpine as well. Life is busy atm.

Expressivedrives · 09-07-2021, 09:02 AM

Drove my car in the Green Hell - Nürburgring Nordschleife (Germany)

XKxRome0ox · 09-07-2021, 04:36 PM

my jackpoints were all destroyed and replaced ...
but i guess the "housing" part is messed up and too loose because i'm missing 3 out of 4 of the jackpoints

anyone deal with this issue? how to go about fixing it?

I replaced All 4 through FCP Euro....now I can changed them out indefinitely with their lifetime warranty... very easy to install and replace

the problem is that they are falling out while i'm driving
so they are just gone
would not be able to replace under fcpeuro warranty as you have to return the original part to get a free replacement

I've never really tried looking down there but the "insertion point" or "housing" for these must be loose(?)

MLife614 · 09-07-2021, 05:09 PM

Paid BMW taxes through ECS and installed this. Pretty easy and fits perfectly.

Will report back once I get opportunity to test our lighting at night.

Dpc2u · 09-07-2021, 06:49 PM

Drove it to the Blue Ridge mountains in GA. Going to spend the next few days running the mountain roads, Suches loop, Blood mountain, Brasstown Bald and wherever else I end up.

Buy new ones and get the rubber inserts for jacks

His issue is that the little blocks where the rubber piece would go is falling out.

It's possible the screw? Is stripped?

jellydoughnutt · 09-08-2021, 07:55 AM

Mine do not have a rubber plates in them, and it appears that he is putting the jack right to the plastic blocks.

I have rubber pucks that I put between the jack and these jack blocks shown.
