Very expensive!!! How much does that one weigh? I am guessing other than longevity weight is the main benefit of getting one of these.

That one weighs 16lbs, I’m waiting for July 4th to be on sale.

Swapped out my HREs to get them refinished for a new look before taking the car to the shop for a supercharger install.

Now all 3 of my e92 M3's are there LOL how expected

:

Basically swapping the VF650 kit off my 6spd 11' Lemans blue (seen in the back with silver ZCPs) into the Frozen Gray.

Today I did this....

Fastalpine · 04-29-2021, 02:53 PM

Took my Harrop stage 1 E90 out for a drive around my house the other day and had my g/f record some quick videos.

XKxRome0ox · 04-29-2021, 02:56 PM

next time ask her to turn the phone horizontally for video

Fastalpine · 04-29-2021, 02:58 PM

Yeah, I realized after the fact. Oh well.

Amen to that!

cae93 · 04-29-2021, 06:58 PM

Got mine back from Malek, anyone that still thinks later model cars don't have wear issues.....

cae93 · 04-29-2021, 07:03 PM

Plugs, bearings and mounts at MRF.

Very impressed by the service at MRF, professional, friendly, obvious expertise without being condescending. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Yeah, I think anyone that does not get them done is on borrowed time. It seems all of the OEM bearings that we see have excessive wear, regardless of year. It is an expensive repair, even if you do it yourself, but not close to replacing the engine when they fail.

yep, V2, love the sound but can absolutely understand how it would not be loud enough in a 90/92.

1. Install it.
2.Bimmercode code it as 46ah.
3. Bimmerlink registered it as new battery 46ah.
4. Done.

So, have heard about these obviously but never had need to look any further. Went to check this one out, and

15.45lb. nearly 50lb saving comparing to OEM one.

I guess having options is nice lol. The Frozen Gray is definitely a garage queen and only goes to local meets and photo shoots.

The LeMans is a blast to drive with the 6spd manual trans. Also love this blue!

Throatpunch · 04-30-2021, 03:07 PM

All those HREs 🤯🤯🤯

nekbreaker · 04-30-2021, 03:38 PM

replace the almost new rod bearing with new ones lol

If that was in reference to my bearings above then we are each entitled to our own opinion of what a bearing should look like, but I am happier not having those in my engine.

On a related note, the change of engine mounts while the bearings were being done has made a very noticeable difference, one of those things that you don't know feels bad until it doesn't. I'm not sure how BMW can justify fitting a mount that completely fails in 40-50k miles.
