This looks excellent, great mods. Well done!

it is basically at the farthest point in the parking garage but i like it

yesterday i did park where the black car is parked now
it is even more protected because it has the pillar on one side and the corner blank space on the other
BUT it is an awkward spot to get into because immediately next to the white Honda is a stairwell with bollards so it took a multi-point turn to get into that parking spot

and even if i wanted to park in that spot, this black audi seems to park there regularly because i have seen it there twice this week
so i'm fine with the current spot i'm in

parallel parked between wall in front of it and pillar. No one can park next to me.

Limp mode! Just got the 0027E4 code. Probably my vacuum pressure sensor after spilling some brake fluid

Do I need to change the vacuum line also or is it possible to just change the sensor?

I changed just the sensor. A little tight and tedious, but about a 30 minute job. You will want an extendable magnet for the bolts and a wobble extension helped a lot. Easier to leave the wires connected to pull it up out of the abyss.

I doubt you will find just the sensor. I just tossed the lines in the spare parts drawer.

sunnysjourney · 07-10-2020, 01:31 PM

I’m actually sitting at the service center’s lounge

. And waiting for my car. Just got my yearly oil change done.

And also, I finally bought the BMW m performance exhaust for my car. It is the first mod I’ve ever done since buying the my M3 back in 2012.

I’m finally thinking of doing some mods to her. Mainly because my uncle got a brand new NSX and he’s showing off and wanting to run circles around my M3 lol. I’m sure he’ll succeeds but I plan on making him work for it.

Thanks! I started searching for the number on the sensor and found a MAP sensor from a e93 M3 with the same number on the sensor (and looks the same also). Is it possible that it's the same sensor?
I assume the last 6 digits are production date, they are all different on every MAP sensor I've found.

ATLIEN · 07-10-2020, 07:15 PM

Having the mechatronics replaced in the DCT and hope to get it back tomorrow.

ItsGary · 07-11-2020, 08:02 PM

Took it on a road trip to the interior

As long as it from an e90, e92 or e93 M3 it is the same. You are not looking for a MAP sensor, it is a brake vacuum sensor. There is a manifold pressure sensor on some non M3 models that looks the same, different sensor.

Took it for an early morning rip before the Formula 1 race. This car still puts a smile on my face every time I drive.

Eja144 · 07-12-2020, 07:30 PM

Took the e90 out with the fam for some dinner after a long ass day of car shopping for my wife. Nice to hear those S65 revs climb after spending hours in 4 cyl. mid size crossovers.

Yeah but it typically gets disclosed and penalized.. Ferrari cut a deal with FIA, it got swept under the rug and they lost pace...

Grip Addict · 07-12-2020, 09:46 PM

Took it for a weekend drive.

Made sure she still fit in the garage after building some cabinets.

I'm with Lando too. Been fun to watch McClaren come to life this year. Wonder what Sainz is thinking with the way Ferrari's year is going.

Uncertain times for Mclaren might have something to do with it.. they are on the verge of bankruptcy, they were already borrowing a lot of $ before the COVID bs hit. They were even trying to sell off their historic car collection to raise $$. They release way too many models of cars and spend too much on
r/d.

mclaren has become a high volume supercar manufacturer. high volume and supercar generally dont go together.
