You make it sound so sad. Alas, it is. Putting the top down tonight on the way to see a show. You can ride along in spirit.

Nice. I gotta do this retrofit also. Maybe in the spring...

Just got my DCT tune and coding from Alex at Alpine. Thanks everyone for the recommendation. Can’t believe how much better the car feels. Now I need to get the engine tune.

You are bad ass Nick.

Put a baby seat in the car for the first time. Guess it was about time, after all it was the excuse I used to justify buying the E90 and selling my 330Ci.

So, T-15 days till my car gets a new "audio system" of sorts...

How many miles on it? Bmw recommends every 3rd oil change (45k miles). Btw, did you use any special tool to remove the sp in the back?

Everyone take note of the sensor this guy changed, if brake fluid every gets over filled or boils over the reservoir , It drips directly onto the vacuum sensor for IACV, and car with go into "limp" mode, and car will hit a brick wall and reduce speed rapidity and throttle will be lost.

So anyone flushing fluid, bbk install, braided line installs, always leave fluid alittle below full and place rag around the res before pouring.


Ok I'm done with my rant lol

It’s so hard to explain everything but all I can say is the feeling of the car is just how it should be. The shifts are so fast and crisp. You thought they were smooth now just wait til you feel it after the tune. My favorite thing is eliminate the boggy feeling when your slowing down at lights.
That’s virtually gone it smooth with no jerky feeling. Downshifting rev matches instantly vs the slight pause. I can’t find any other words to put it. But regardless of any mods I do, coding and tune from Alex is a must. So glad I listened to all the other forum members that pointed me in his direction.

(Yesterday) removed OEM exhaust and installed AA Signature Exhaust. Fairly easy DIY overall. Sounds awesome!

Thanks! Ideally these 220M wheels need some spacers, but I do really like the gloss black look. A nice change of pace from the silver ZCP's. Sorry for this crappy phone pic.

I have no idea how many miles unfortunately. I bought the car with 44,000. It now has 54,000.

I used a long screwdriver under the top of the cap and my hand under the part that sticks out and connects to the wire. Popped off all 8 in under 30 seconds.

Now actually changing the plug in the back passenger was a nightmare. I had to drop the spark plug socket down the hole, then the extension and connect it. Then fit the wrench down there attach it and remove. Then one by one reverse the order and disconnect individually. Then fish the socket out with a magnet.

I'm starting to really appreciate the black wheels look on the E92 platform. before I hated black wheels for some reason. but now I start to like it since owning a Space Grey E92.
