Merlin - It is QuickJack 5,000-LB Capacity Portable Car Lift and I bought it from Costo online when it has a promotion ($100 off). I enjoy doing my garage work so it is definately a must-have tool. Super stable and it has two heights level locks so it add extra safty. I live in forest heights NW skyline blvd and NW Meares Dr, very close to Bethany. If you would like to come to see my quickjack, give me a message.

Bought a new set of Titian 7 T-S5 18 inch from autotalent.com and a set of Falken Azenis RT660 275 35R18 for HPDE use and took a lot of time ceramic coating them with Carpro DLUX plastic and wheels.

The wheel spec:

Titan 7 T-S5 18x10 +25 Satin Titanium

I met twice of my car engine was off automatcially when I filled the gas and stopped at the red light. Checked the forum and found it should be a problem related to "Fuel tank breathy valve". The part was bought from FCPEuro and cost $50. Labor cost $0.

E90325M · 10-01-2022, 10:22 PM

How about this ZCP wheel spacers setup?

Suspension: Ohlins R&T

Front 255/35ZR19 with 12mm spacers.
Rear 275/35ZR 19 with 10mm spacers.

I think I can go wider like Front 15mm and Rear 12mm in the future.

Recently changed rear spacers from 10mm to 12mm and seems good at the moment, no rubbing. Need to drive more but rain is coming...

Next plan will be change pads as stoptech street pads have too much dust...

Hey Portland metro E9x owners! I'm currently in the market for an E90; was wondering if any of you would be open to meeting up so I could experience one in the flesh? I'm eying one in Denver; would like to be ready to commit if I'm going to buy a 1-way ticket out there.

Some info about me: I'm 36, a mechanical engineer by education, previously lived in the VAG world but interested in defecting to BMW if the S65 is everything I think it will be. I live in NE Portland but willing to meet up pretty much anywhere in the metro area.

elliotw44 · 02-22-2023, 01:44 PM

Happy to meet up if you wanna drive up to SEA.

I may take you up on that. I go up there for work pretty regularly; not planning another trip until the end of March, but there is an E90 in Redmond that I might be interested in so perhaps I'll get up there sooner.

Nice. Mine's a E92 LCI DCT. Hit me with a PM if you decide to take me up on the offer.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the car. Were you at Track Night in America in May? If not, saw your car’s twin. I think that would make 3 IB e92s in the metro area as I’m familiar with one in Clark County. That’s a high number given the rarity.

There’s another guy in the area I think in an IB e90 with an Oregon vanity plate that says ONLYWETSHIT. I’ve no idea what that means.

Thank you sir 🫡, i have not been to any kind of motoring event out here in the last year I've lived here. But i am looking forward to it. My boy blue 💙 has a yellow tow hook (previous owner) on it. Also yellow calipers (also previous owner) the car was neglected so I'm bringing it back to it's glory days.

RocketyMan · 08-30-2023, 10:45 PM

I was going to post on this page a few days ago...but forgot. So I am now...

Anyway...

I was driving Padden and (ofcourse) everyone wants to race me. Such as this toyota highlander aka camry with a bigger body on "frame rails." LOL. Needless to say it was fun just keeping it in 4th gear and agging him on. Kill me! hahaha.

So soon after that little race, the highlander left-turns somewhere in defeat (it was a hybrid too...haha) and then this chick in this black Nissan Frontier rolls up next to me at a stop light screaming "I want your car!!!" I revved the engine a bit and before I could say anything back...she turned right and I continued straight. Dangit...

What is her name???!!!

RocketyMan · 10-22-2023, 11:56 PM

Alright...so I went into a wally world today to buy some groceries. I come out and literally the EXACT same body and color m3 parked next to mine. The only difference was this guy's was DCT and black leather. I bet he thinks he was pretty funny...took me a second to figure out it wasn't my car because it was seriously spitting image.

Of course mine was the more dirty one as whomever this other m3 is...clearly had it paint corrected.

Who was it???!
