Looks like your hood isn't closed all the way. There is a gap on the side too. This is exactly what mine looks like if both latches don't connect correctly. You basically have to drop the hood from a foot or so for it to close correctly.
No, just make sure your heights are equal side to side. Corner balancing, IMHO, is a waste of time and money unless you are competing for every fraction of a second.
I just had mine replaced through Geico Insurance. Used safelight. I requested OEM BMW glass, there are two versions, one with the coating for the HUD and one without. I have a HUD so they gave me the coated version.
They also recalibrated the camera. We had to drive around for about 5 minutes...
Yea, fair. I probably wouldn't run it without upgrading the front bushings. I'd also be interested in what happens when a wheel lifts in the air and back down, which is common on a track where you turn the steering wheel and not just going straight.
That might be why I feel I don't need the trans tune now that I have the ECU tuned. Those things get removed.
I still might tune the trans. I am noticing sometimes in certain corners/power application that the car doesn't shift fart or shift as aggressive. I am thinking it might be traction...
