So basically after a "30 minute drive" just like the iDrive instructions. ?

I've been using LM 5W-30 Special Tec for about 2 years now. Interesting how LM's website ONLY lists the 0W-20 but FCP actually recommends the 5W-30.

Interesting. I've never tried to measure the oil using Bimmerlink. Is it done after the car has warmed up after a drive or when cold? Engine on or off?

Bump.

I wish. The benefits only apply to travelers, not freight, unfortunately.

Yes, sir. :thumbsup:

That piece is toast. Lol. Maybe some aluminum foil and duct tape? :hmm:

The vent is easily removed as it's only held on by 3M tape. But then you'll be left with a hole in the hood regardless.

I cut my two right side engine cover pegs off with a Dremel and removed the foam liner from under it as well and it fits. It only attaches by the left two pegs and the right side just lays on there relatively flat. :thumbsup: Good luck selling the OEM manifold. I've had mine listed at $300...

Ok, not THAT quiet. Lol. ?

This might be a silly question, but... Any issues with either the "Cold start noise reduction" or the "Start-up roar" features when running a catted downpipe? Not sure if there's any long-term detrimental effect on the cat. Stage 2 map on 93 octane with the Active Autowerke (400 CPSI) GESi DP.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I think I may have to try a more permanent coating type product like Cerakote, Carpro Blackout or Dura Dressing. They're a bit more finicky to work with and required a lot of cleaning and prep though. Although I've been reading about the Carpro Darkside and may give that a...

I see lots of ceramic and graphene coatings being reviewed and tossed around but not much on tire appearance or maintenance. My tires are the first thing to deteriorate after a car wash. Cleaned up, they're patchy in appearance with areas of scuff (from shipping), shiny smooth spots along...

I really want to ride in both a car with stock DP and AWE Resonated Touring and another car with stock DP and the EOS system. Apart from the resonators - someone here actually added Vibrant bottle style resonators to the EOS system and it still was a bit loud on the highway - they look visually...

Yeah, I'm on GroupMe but not Discord.

I didn't know that. :hmm:

There are way more options under $2500 than those three, but I agree, the AWE is AWEsome. Bear in mind though, the AWE is a bit loud loud and very deep sounding. For spirited driving in Sport mode, it's awesome, but the lack of the valve, as gimmicky as some may suggest, is quite beneficial on...

Good to know. Thanks for the info and update. Figured it's something that should've been easily produced in the aftermarket sector rather than spending +$80 from Japan.

Replace o-rings, coolant, oil... Ok, so this isn't just a "simple swap" like a charge pipe as some have chimed in. There are so many CAI, catback, DP, manifold DIY videos out there, so I'm gonna wait on this until someone does a comprehensive instructional.

Anyone have a photo of these installed?
