I finally picked up a VGate and Bimmercode to do some of the coding I've been wanting.

If anyone would like some basic coding done and you are near phoenix/desertridge, give me a shout.

Moving back to Scottsdale/Tempe from the Bay Area next month. Hope to see some modded F-series back home.

I'll chime in. We just bought our first BMW, a red 328i sport. It's for my wife, she is thrilled, has needed a new car for a while now. She was driving a 1994 Toyota 4x4 with 32" tires when I met her 3 years ago. She talked about BMWs since we met and now she's got one.

Yes, cooler weather is around the corner, let's hang, get lunch, and dominate a parking lot somewhere! We live just south of Sky Harbor.

Sounds good. I'm in Desert Ridge about 2 minutes from Scottsdale. We should try to get something set up locally and see if anyone else is interested.

I'll recommend an honest tuner/repair shop for Euro cars in the Valley. AZ Euros in Mesa. Ask for Christian, he's the owner. I met him on a plane to Phoenix, maybe 7-8 years ago. I traveled for work for a while. We started talking about cars on the flight, I came to realize his knowledge and motivation to learn more was refreshing. I told him about my project car at the time, and he decided to take over the build. At that time, it was an E36 M3 with a complete Dinan Stage lll (supercharger, Brembo brakes, suspension, FBO, etc...). He was able to diagnose and repair my problem inside of 48 hours! At that time, my car was sitting at a BMW specialist independent shop for over a week. I spent quite a bit of $$$ and time to get them to never actually find the problem.
Long story short; I've since had him do 7-8 builds on various Euro cars (Golf R, 3 different Beemers, an S4, a GT Mustang, a 987.2 Boxster, and now my current F30 N55 EWG Stage 2 BM3 with FBO). I'll have him start messing with my 718 Cayman next. He's honest and sharp. Highly recommended...
I've sent him quite a bit of well deserved business over the years. If you see Christian, let him know Emil sent you, and I'm certain he'll treat you right...

Anyone in Az looking for a BMS intake? I had this up in classifieds but kept getting low ball offers of half my asking and wanted me to pay shipping

I ran this in my car for two tanks of gas (2017 330i) and put the drop in back in. It's a bit too woooshy or Fast n Furious for me (I'm 41).

They are 200+ new after shipping. Im asking 150 and I'll even bring it too you if you are somewhat near Phoenix/Scottsdale. I'd even install it if you need help, it literally takes 4 minutes.

Fits the B46/B48 equipped cars

I'd like to know more about the engine build. We are in South Mountain area near Sky Harbor.

So far:
  • Wagner CDP
  • ER Complete Charge Pipe
  • Injen intake
  • BMS FMIC

In the future I'm considering the AWE Touring Catback exhaust and possibly the BMS methanol injection system.

Looks really good! Mine looked almost exactly like that when I picked it up for my wife last summer. I have to say, from the factory, they did a good job! Fairly quick, decent handling, stout brakes (I have the Blue M-sport Brakes), really well laid out interior as far as ergonomics (a bit cheap as far as all the plastics, especially compared to the competition), and I absolutely love the way it looks on the outside!

Here's what it looks like 9 months later... I included 2 before (1 was a dealership pic, 1 is after I wrapped the roof), and the others are after the mods. I've since added a few more items, but haven't taken pics yet...
