What did you do to your F3X today?

Wolfus Aurelius · 06-22-2019, 07:18 AM

Gave the car a good bath.

Checked the tire pressures with a G.H. Meiser Accu-Gage. Turns out I've been running 34 all around, and comfortably. So I performed a TPMS reset, which you have to do while parked and with the ignition or engine on, and then drove the car for a few miles (such a chore, huh?) while the tire pressures reset. TPMS says I have about 32 psi all around.

Blew my charge pipe under cpo and got a g20!loaded loaner. Nice car but the engine noise is laughable. The piped in noise is crazy loud.

Only had her two weeks so no full detail yet, but she got clean!

BTW Why have I been washing my cars the wrong way for 30 years? We don't need no stinkin' buckets!

sewhelan9 · 06-22-2019, 04:41 PM

Oil and filter change and new high-flow catted downpipe installed.

I imagine he's gone to waterless washing, like with Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine or Adam's Waterless Car Wash.

Looks too much. Tells me 15 is probably the sweet spot. I have 13 and there is minor room for improvement.

I got an F30 and have been between getting the VRSF or ER?

I had a buddy of mine at work do the install. Took about an hour. So far so good. No issues or problems.

Yeah I went with ER catless DP CP FMIC. I mean if u can afford a bmw why not have the best stuff installed? that's just my opinion though.

For the past few years I have been using Chemicals Guys EcoSmart waterless wash. I buy the concentrate on Amazon, which is a much better value than the pre-mixed. For the first 6 months of having a jet black and chrome truck, it never was washed with anything else. The stuff is amazing and not one swirl. It washes and waxes between more in-depth waxes. Highly recommended, I rarely bust out the power washer and foam canon anymore with the EcoSmart.

Also got a spray bottle, which sprays with the forward and backward motion. It helps cover much more area quicker. I can do a full wash on the 330 in about 35 minutes. The truck is about 50 minutes, both being super anal...

Installed VRSF downpipe onto my b58. Never done it before 1.5 hour job. And it was easy. Then flashed to stage 2 91oct bm3.
