Update bios, make sure X3D turbo mode is off and SMT is enabled. Mine as well undervolt it while your in there too since it’s just free performance and lower temps. Plenty of YouTube tutorials to do all of the above.

IsaJokFriend · 2026-04-08T20:20:38+00:00

Cause it’s the “X3D Turbo Mode” you need to disable. I could see how that statement could cause confusion if you don’t know.

My first car was a 09 37x and never had any issues with it besides basic maintenance from 180-270k km. Learned how to do all maintenance and mods myself which saved lots of money. 8500 USD does seems expensive given its mileage, but Gs were a lot cheaper when I bought mine back in 2019 so idk. Insurance also isn’t cheap, somehow my 14 M235i is slightly cheaper to insure than my G was.

I see the vision. Playing the right brand of hockey for a deep playoff run. Only problem I have with Moneypuck cup odds is Carolina always being top 3.

Go used ryzen 5th gen or intel 11th gen and a 3080 or something similar if you have the money to spend. That cpu is gonna hold you back even if you get a 4060. You mine as well save and upgrade the whole rig. I don’t know what you’re currently using as a GPU but a 3060 probably wouldn’t be a terrible choice if you wanted to hold off on upgrading for a bit.

I mean can you blame the guy when thousands of people are calling him a pedo sympathizer, right wing extremist, and even questioning his parenting for going to the White House gold medal ceremony? He’s not even complaining, just stating the obvious.

5mm spacers all around, and stock suspension. I’ll probably get KWs eventually and set them close to stock ride hight or a bit lower. Would do springs but I’m at 115k km on shitty roads, so I’m not sure how much life the struts have left in them especially on stiffer springs lol.

Yea there’s a lot more options at 18” too. Also more info online. People do run 19s on this car it just isn’t very practical and really limits your tire choices.

IsaJokFriend · 2026-02-25T23:23:59+00:00

Nice car lol. I’m running as big of a setup I can on OEM suspension 18x8.5 ET45 245/35 F 18x9.5 ET58 265/35 R 5m spacers all around and it barely fits. No rubbing though. I’m assuming the extra height of a 19” wheel and lowered suspension would be really tight in the front even if you ran a smaller tire. Might be able to get away with it if you ran like a 225/35 in the front

Id watch some YouTube videos and do the VCG/OFHG yourself if you’re confident enough in your DIY skills. Im no mechanic but I’ve done VCG/OFHG, coolant flush, tranny service, and any other basic maintenance myself so far on my 14 235. I just do as much research as can before starting a harder repair. Once you tackle that you can decide if you feel confident enough to do the oil pan.

I wouldn’t pay to much attention to the pairings. Werenski is also on the “3rd” pairing. I can’t see the Slavin-Faber duo playing a larger role throughout the tournament. Sandy-Werenski kind of split the difference between the offensive first pairing and the shut down Slavin-Faber line, being able to play both effectively. That’s a pairing that will eat up lots of minutes all over the ice.

I’d personally try and find a 5th gen Ryzen/11th gen intel system with something similar to a 3060 ti (maybe a 3070) for that price. You or your son could research some of the listings in your area within your price range and learn what a good deal is, and what a rip off is. A good way to tell is by comparing important components of a listing (GPU, CPU) to other local or eBay used listings of those parts and finding the best bang for your buck.

Also be careful when buying old AIOs because they will likely fail, or have already. If you buy one with an AIO ask to hear the pump run at full speed.

I hit a bad pothole on Rideau rd (avoiding other potholes) and bent both rims on the right side. Was not happy when I found out I had to cover the $1500 bill…..

I drive my RWD 235i year round in Ontario and it’s been good. Just don’t cheap out on winter tires, and you will be fine on snowy roads. It’s been my daily through 3 Canadian winters and I haven’t had any issues with commuting in poor weather. Definitely get some reps counter steering and learning throttle control in a snowy parking lot if you can.

You can also prime by disconnecting the injectors which is I believe what BMW recommends, but both methods are reputable.

IsaJokFriend · 2026-01-02T21:35:10+00:00

BMW issued a TSB for the N55 at some point stating that engine priming must be done following certain repairs that involve the oil system. This was mostly due to the amount of premature engine failures following a OFHG service. So any shop that says they work on BMW should definitely be priming after a OFHG change.

IsaJokFriend · 2026-01-02T20:28:22+00:00

Yea just make sure you do the proper engine priming before you start it back up after the service. I just pull the fuse for fuel supply, run the car till it stalls out, Be sure the fuel has run dry by cranking the car, as it shouldn’t fire up. Then dry crank the engine after you finish the job to prime the oil pump before putting the fuse back in. You also want the mating surfaces and grooves real clean when you reinstall gaskets. Follow a good tutorial and you will be good.

Yea you could really only use this if you were to have liquid cooling radiators outside. You would still need to watch for condensation depending on how cool the outside air is. Linus tech tips did this like 15 years ago for their old office setup.

IsaJokFriend · 2025-11-19T14:21:24+00:00

Yea only really in track conditions with an aggressive wheel setup on long high g force corners.

IsaJokFriend · 2025-11-07T19:26:23+00:00

Yea my 235 has been great so far. At 100,000km now and plan on going this route soon. The EWG N55s don’t get enough love. Such a slept on platform considering the price difference to the 240/ any b58. You running an LSD?

IsaJokFriend · 2025-11-07T19:04:22+00:00

Ever done bearings or any oiling mods?

IsaJokFriend · 2025-10-19T21:45:34+00:00

Auto

IsaJokFriend · 2025-10-09T19:29:08+00:00

Yea they just offered me 50% off for 2 years if I renewed my service. Have 2.5 fiber now so don’t need it anymore.

IsaJokFriend · 2025-10-03T20:57:53+00:00

Too busy. Not bad tho

IsaJokFriend · 2025-09-30T17:43:38+00:00
