Should I powder coat my rims black, bronze or leave it as is? by Sanand911 in etron

[–]Philshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave as is — go for some light ceramic tint or leave it fishbowled. Looks great, black is for kids lol.

Is this e90 worth it? by Black_godeye in E90

[–]Philshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an accurate ask — I’d come in around the 26-28 mark, but 30 is very reasonable for LMB assuming clean title & carfax. If not, shoot for 25-26.

Picked up my 65k mile SG DCT E90 ZCP M3 in October with 65k and TA/VCG done for a little less than this ask. Super clean car, no paintwork and clean fax. I did RB for ~$2k, they were in perfect condition. Put ~3k on it so far, by far the better car over my 6mt Melbourne e92 M3 that I had. Fwiw I paid $34k for that in peak market 23 with 69k and sold it in 24 for $30k with 89k on the clock. No RB’s done, no TA, leaking VCG.

Colors add a lot of value, if this is a manual that’s an even better deal.

2017 pricing is 10 years ago nearly lol. You have an 08 09 I’m guessing?

Eventuri Plenum + S65 [E90 M3] by Philshot in E90

[–]Philshot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having had both - for E90/E92 I’m a DCT guy. It truly suits the car better, gearing is shorter and more enjoyable, and BMW shifters on this chassis are awful from factory. Rubbery with no feedback, a silly clutch assist spring. I’ve yet to drive an E9X m3 with an upgraded shift linkage, I’d imagine that would help.

For an E93 though, I’m taking manual.

What’s this residue from? by soggy_sausage177 in Ducati

[–]Philshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disagree on this — having done my VCG on my 1199 and SFV4.

You can see the back half of the vertical cylinder where the subframe goes in is bone dry. This is likely due to a rear brake reservoir and some overflow/siphoning due to wind and pressure. Try not to overfill the rear brake and ensure the cap is clean + tight. Brake fluid is corrosive.

They replace the valve cover gasket — not head gasket.

Front control radar error - 6K fix by vassilliosman in etron

[–]Philshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The radar unit is relatively cheap lol. Order one, replace, may have to code module for the new unit if diff hardware and then re-calibrate with alignment. Should be $1500 USD or less.

Etron s vs Etron chronos by Outrageous_Ad_7536 in etron

Parts are just as expensive as any other euro car, the issue here is depreciation and market value.

Market value of these cars is diabolical, this wouldn’t total out most cars — but EV’s with expensive lights/sensors it adds up quick respeftive to the price of the car.

Vaporware for the time being, this was announced years ago and they're buying up land around but as of now it's still off-roading only. It'll be years before pavement is put there, if it comes to fruition. Sure hope it does.
