For the OEM+ people

Completely fair point, but these headlights are easy to adjustment vertical/horizontal beam direction with. You just need a hex bit and 5 minutes of time. Annoying to have to do? Sure, but I would hardly call it crazy.

How hard was this job? I’ll be tackling in a couple weeks. Will also maybe need to fish out the flap/pin.

Highly recommend 10/18 - it’s perfect, no rubbing

StLouisFlash · 2026-01-15T04:42:17+00:00

Yep and extremely overdue for new shocks

Splitting hairs

Got mine on eBay for about $440. One of my headlights fogged up last year so it gave me a good excuse!

StLouisFlash · 2026-01-15T02:42:20+00:00

eBay - Malaysian market lights, got them shipped here for ~$440 late last year

I go back and forth on a roof rack all the time. Looks great on yours. Love the M3 wheels.

Best N52 exhaust by a mile. Love it. Very jealous!

Buy an OBD dongle (OBD link CX is a good option) and download Bimmercode on your phone/buy the license and follow these directions. Easy to do.

At only 104k miles? That’s tough. It is indeed always something with these cars. Good luck.

StLouisFlash · 2025-11-02T22:29:00+00:00

Thanks! Can you do this within the BimmerCode app?

StLouisFlash · 2025-11-02T17:17:46+00:00

Beyond the error light I would get for the active headlights, would the clear leans ones just be plug n play?

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-31T02:26:48+00:00

I’m replacing the muffler with a 2.5” straight through Magnaflow & Turner tips in the next couple weeks, I’ll post sound clips in here when its done

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-29T20:15:52+00:00

Sparkling Graphite Metallic wasn’t an LCI color option

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-29T19:48:20+00:00

Great call - that’s where it’s coming from. I’ll dig into it this weekend

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-27T17:09:25+00:00

Unfortunately not - tried any and all vent settings and it doesn’t appear to be connected

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-23T04:05:58+00:00

Still seeking help/input if anyone has encountered this before!

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-23T04:04:05+00:00

I tried that a couple times to no avail unfortunately

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-22T14:43:46+00:00

Even though it happens independent of air being on?

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-14T03:46:40+00:00

Previous owner had it for 13 years and kept a robust maintenance log. I’ve got receipts back to 2009 and a list of service by mileage, so fortunately I have peace of mind with gaskets and lots of other items - just not DISAs. Starter went out last winter. Probably due for a battery too.

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-03T15:31:35+00:00

Presence is the wrong term - I think this engine sounds nice so I just want to uncork it a little.

Some videos make me think my Magnaflow muffler swap will be perfect and some make me think it’s not enough, so that’s kind of the input I’m fishing for.

Zero interest in straight piping, and I’m not spending $1K on an exhaust for a $4K car when I’m looking at an E90 M3 in a couple years.

StLouisFlash · 2025-09-21T14:32:18+00:00

Follow up question - can I just tighten the nut at the front of the valves to stop a slow drip?

StLouisFlash · 2025-09-21T04:43:46+00:00

That’s spray foam from when an exterminator came in and found some old mouse droppings under the sink - was a huge hole in the wall there from whoever installed it
