You found a Kies Motorsports intercooler on eBay?

No no no......That's just a sticker lol. I got the sticker when I purchased my start/stop button from them. It's been sitting on my kitchen counter for over a month so I just threw it on top of the intercooler to get it out of the way. I wish I could find a Kies intercooler on eBay that cheap lol

Beautiful! How do you like the new wheel? Selling your old one?

I think that it makes a nice upgrade. But worth the money? I am not so sure. I might hold on, to the other one, if the Alcantara starts wearing fast, I will just swap it back.

Dropped the air pressure in my tires by 2psi all around because I felt my ride was a little harsh. Was at 34 front/36 rear. Back down to oem spec despite being on a bigger setup. Might be a placebo effect, but I swear it feels more compliant over bumps/cracks even with a seemingly minor change.

installed a wagner catted downpipe on my 428 only to find out that the car is an n26 and I bought a DP for an N20

Making lemonade though and going to the muffler shop to have them make a custom midpipe for it and eliminate the secondary cat! The DP fits at the turbo side just fine.

USR is a sponsor of mine, so they sent these to me to try out. They definitely provide a TON of light, which is kind of cool, but I also don't want to add more attention to my license plate haha. We will see how long I keep them on the car!

you explained yourself when you said "sponsor"

Man, that is nuts...looks like the metal on the shaft is pretty thin.

Loaded up the MHD stage 1 tune today. Love it!! ~$300 well spent. Sport mode is now perfect. Moar power!

In Sport mode, I always thought the revs were held too long before shifting, and now it seems better matched. Also...linear throttle mapping! No more lurching when taking off from a stop. I hope it stays this way, as I know I've had to reset throttle adaptation in the past to get it to feel better. Also...added "soft" exhaust burble. It's just enough for me, without sounding like boy racer.

Everything seems to be "in harmony" with Sport mode now and it's truly a delight to drive. Should have been this way from factory.

(2015 335i, btw)

$212 for the flasher module and $85 for the map pack. There are other options, like gauge readout and logging for another $85. (Plus tax...)

https://mhdtuning.com/mhd-flasher-f-series-n55/

Also will need a USB to OBD adapter (or I've read they now support wireless OBD adapter).

Getting it packed up for a long 14 hour drive to VA Beach. Leaving at 11 EST tonight.

Wish me luck!

Hard launch ad a bit too much torque. I imagine it was a random chance it happened and I hope it doesn't happen again. Not a cheap or fun fix

Something else was amiss here, your car was not putting down highly excessive Hp/ Torque at 400 or so to twist that tube as shown.
