Oh, and anyone know why my passenger side pads were so much worse than my driver's side? Does it have anything to do with trail braking?

Do any tracks with turns mostly towards one direction? That will do it.

Seriously though, I'm no pro race driver like you, homie.

New platform, new drive type.

I'd like some coaching.

just big willow (mostly rights), but the hardest work these brakes have done was at laguna seca.

Laguna toasts my brake pads like no other track I've been to thus far! It's ridiculous how much wear I go through on this track alone. Love it though.

Since airbags are recalled and no solution for a while I've been looking at steering wheels.

What do you guys use? This would be cool.

[roastbeef]

I would really like just the oem wheel with a flat bottom.

is there a way to reset the brake service indicator from the idrive? i've read all about replacing the censors and splicing wires... is that the only way?

Yeah - put the car in ignition mode, with the engine off. Cycle the indicator to show your MPG with the gas can. Hold down the button on the dash:



Keep holding it down, you'll see a triangle:



Keep holding it down even further until you get this:



Then use the stalk that has the "BC" button on it - press the BC button once, you'll get this screen:



Now, hold the BC button down until you get a spinning clock. Let go of the button when you see it pop up:



Once it's done, you'll see the mile indicator in that window show something like 4100 mls. You're finished at this point, shut the car off. When you next restart the engine it will show 4100 miles on the front brakes.

Mud program part 3:



Two wheels off coming off of sunset - over steered and slid, countered but ran out of room - two wheels off as straight as you can be, drove right back onto the straight hehe.

Once you get it it's ok but I always turn wifi off after I only use it for preview.

[M3 Number 86]

Packed up and ready for tomorrow. Leaving in a couple hours but just in case mud check out my mod for the night

[redpriest]

Hilarious. I looked at the weather and it looks like it's going to be like Saturday - damp in the morning but dry throughout the day. Hopefully it stays that way!
