I don’t know what the Boomer Blob(tm) is stating since I have it on ignore, but having lived in California for 35+ years of my life, don’t listen to anyone in the lowlands of California when it comes to winter.
Again, you won't see anything worthwhile on the power front but will on sound.
I use the MAD intake and fabbed up a heatshield since I track the car a lot.
Check 02 sensor wiring harness. Could be damaged or melted. Or bad 02 Sensor overall.
If you are running no heatshield on the exhaust manifold, the 02 harness could easily get melted if it wasn't put back correctly.
Other issue is the F22 M240i doesn't come with a LSD. You can fit one but not there by default.
G42 M240i comes with the same rear diff as our supras, and can fit more tire. My 330i for example I fit 275 in the rear without even having to think about it. With coilovers you could do 275 square...
Plus labor if they aren't installing everything themselves. Probably about $5k or more in labor there.
You also forgot about the LPFP since he is asking about PI. Stock intake def a choke point at that level too.
I literally told you the solution. The caster is messed up because of the arm lengths. That is the only way for the caster to be messed up in the rear.
Alignment guy changed the lengths too much.
Don't forgot turning safety fully off so the car doesn't auto brake when you come up quickly on another car. You can map the TPMS screen to one of the number buttons so it's just one touch away. You can code the car to start in Sport mode.
They replace the whole knuckle and either add positive...
You can still have balanced toe and camber with the centerlines being shifted. Depends on the alignment machine. If it isn't triangulating all four or measuring centerline front to back, you wouldn't see it in the specs.
The dynamics of the car would be SUPER wack when driving though.
Measure OEM hole to hole and set the aftermarket arms the same length as a baseline. They should have done that to begin with.
The toe and traction arms are probably not equal lengths on each side. That would pull the wheel closer/further from center point as you are describing.
Sounds like a crappy shop did a crappy install. I bet they didn’t measure the OEM arms and didn’t set the aftermarket arms the same as a baseline.
It’s fairly common sense, but we all know how that goes with some people.
Drivers side (in North America) is where the fuel line comes up into the engine bay and also where the ventilation lines are. So you probably have a leak somewhere there. It comes up right next to the DME.
It's the bracing from the Z4. Only comes on Final Editions. The bad side is it also changes the diff cover to the one from the M lite cars with less cooling fins, for clearance.
