It's driving like a dream, best sports car I've ever owned. The guy I bought it from was in a rush to sell it so that he could use part of the money to get into a new house after a fire took his.
They don't come up very often, but I was able to snag one for 45k with 1100 miles on it. I did have to fly to PA to pick it up, but it was more than worth it since it came with full stainless Magnaflow exhaust, catless down pipe, high flow AF, transferable BM3 license with stage 2 tune and a...
The shop I plan on going to in Tulsa , OK White Glove Auto, removes the tires, sand blasts , powder coats then remounts and balances the tires for $400.
I'll post up photos when it's done.
I have yet to find a 0w20 or 0w30 ACEA C5 and API SN oil that has the appropriate High-Temperature/High-Shear Viscosity level necessary to handle the engines level of power output. You need ≥ 3.5 cP HTHS viscosity to protect your B58 engine if you ever plan on accelerating hard, which I would...
Looks like a good buy to me. HTHS viscosity ≥ 3.5 which is good. (Evaporation loss) Noack Volatility at 9.5% was higher than expected, but not necessarily a show stopper, for reference Amsoil is 7.1% Noack Vol. The Total Base Number (TBN) is 11.2 mg KOH/g, which I consider to be on the higher...
I thought the manual said you could use any of the following blends: 0W20, 5W20, 0W30, 5W30, 0W40, 5W40. I'm currently using Amsoil SAE 5W-30 LS Synthetic European Motor Oil. That has a High-Temperature/High-Shear Viscosity cP value of 3.6, which I believe BMW stated HTHS viscosity to be at...
