From what I’ve read and come to understand from the forums is that if you cannot get the car to read your oil level, then you may have a bad oil pump. (Which I guess is a common issue) I’d swap the cat back on and let the dealer handle it.
What does your Latino heritage have anything do with it… that’s ridiculous. The concern I would assume is that at that low of mileage the car needs to broken in gently not manhandled. Maybe it’s my (insert race here) heritage but rude is rude, and spending 50+k on an item and have someone treat...
In a world where people have a choice that would never happen. People vote with their dollar. However the illusion of choice and its existence in the future is up for anyone to guess.
July of last year. My cars been tuned and it passed. I wonder how they would even know. It seems like piggy backs would be easy to read but following each car and each possible tune seems like a lot of work on the states end, and they are lazy and useless af. Man California is so wild. Can’t...
I’m super confused. Lived in ca my whole life. Had to many cars with mods to count. When did ca make intakes fails smog? Also if your downpipe has a cat it’s likely to pass smog. A tune should never throw cels. Also unless your car is an earlier model the likelihood of it being tuned is very...
I owned a Supra and ended up selling it for a m240i. That being said I’d say the Supra was a great commuter car. I sold it for the m240i mostly due to cost. I wanted a manual and a new Supra was ridiculously over priced compared to the m240i with the same engine. Also I wanted an unlocked ecu...
Race clutches usually make noise at lower rpm’s, more noticeably at idle. At least that’s what I’ve noticed from every car I’ve been around that has one.
I don’t think it would damage the clutch beyond repair, those dual disk clutches are designed to be abused.
just out of curiosity, does your clutch pilot bearing make a lot of noise at idle in neutral?
My mechanic (who is very well known in my area) advised me to break it in at low rpm’s. His suggestion was to not go over 3k rpm’s for the break in process.
I actually have a 2020 m240i with the b58 in it, and it seems to have a different setup. I did however find this, and wonder if it would have the same results.

Thanks for the info! That thread helped explain the startup issue, but now it has me wondering why rev match is so deep in the throw and if there is a way to adjust the point in which the car knows the clutch is engaged.
I’m sure. It’s not activating because the clutch pedal doesn’t need to be pushed very far in to active the clutch itself. If I mash the clutch to the floor it works. The gap on the new clutch is so small and much farther out that the car would have to know to trigger the rev match with the...
I had a dual disk clutch installed and ever since the rev match doesn’t work. It seems to be due to the new clutches difference in location when activated. The old one was almost to the floor to activate the clutch and the new one is right next to the brake pedal. Even to start the car I have to...
I have a m240i with the b58 in it, and I run bm3 with a ethonal kit tune, stage two. Without an ethanol kit and adjustable tune the car is going to run on a base tune set to a certain octane rating. As far as I understand the ots bm3 tunes are set to a certain octane and don’t adjust, but with a...
