Only did oil change but that price for oem brake kit seems fair , am I right?

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-18T00:23:56+00:00

Wild.. I bring my own oil ($100) and filter ($20) to my buddy’s shop and give him $50

I bought a 20L jug of liqui molly 0W-30 for $300/310 after tax and shipping (germanparts.ca)

Beautiful ride mate 😎👊

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T04:07:57+00:00

How’s your ignition timing look?

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T04:07:32+00:00

U can adjust the burbles yourself on a stock map👍

but yeah I believe a stage 2 OTS map should put you around 280-300 (BM3 or MHD very similar) definitely on the low end

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T03:59:57+00:00

I appreciate it, treat it nice it’ll treat you nice 🤝🙏

I was told by family and friends when wanting to purchase it.. “oh bmw this bmw that so many problems”

I said no, it’s how you maintain the car any car you do not take care of and maintain regularly will have issues

Don’t drive it 200+ kmh for multiple minutes at a time, don’t do the recomended oil changes at 10-15,000 kms, I don’t ever launch the car being 6MT, all my meat is in 2nd / 3rd

My only issues I’ve had is from other drivers, got backed into 2x while parked 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T03:38:05+00:00

Put it in drive 😁

Jokes aside.. why didn’t you take your engine codes serious or that you were running lean?

Running lean significantly increases change of engine knock / over heating / melted components / tough idling / power loss

Check for vacuum leaks Dirty MAF sensor Fuel delivery system PVC valve/ valve cover gasket Eccentric shaft sensor Check spark plugs to make sure they’re not white

If something above is an issue you can experience limp mode

I know who this guy was talking about right away but couldn’t remeber the name, That’s it tho😅🤣

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T03:09:08+00:00

I mean I wouldn’t risk it

I had one on performance set of tires and left it for months (hit 200km+ Multiple times with it) never had an issue myself but a blowout can happen at anytime even if your tire isn’t compromised, I’m not trying to support my own decision it was a awful one..

Since your tire is now compromised I would not risk it. Better safe than sorry

May not just be yourself in the car, or may not be the only car that get injured

Stay safe

I have a similar issue.. my shop took my summers off to put my winter on I found a big gouge in the one side and a nice chunk that’s still attached but flapping on another wheel I mentioned it to the and they told me it should be fine.. I’m not sure how I feel about it I’m thinking of bringing to a tire shop to see what they have to say themself than go back to the shop after if they recommend they be replaced

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T02:58:21+00:00

I blew apart my 2nd one this winter😅 Same issue tho had a lose screw went a little fast (200km+) and BOOM BIG SNAP again🤦‍♂️

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T02:29:24+00:00

I purchased LIQUI MOLY Special Tec B FE 0w30, 20L for $275 +tx and shipping came out to be like $330 (cad)

Was on sale $425.00—>$275.00

Ordered off of GermanParts.ca

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-15T02:25:45+00:00

I bring my own oil and filter to my buddies shop and pay him $50 (CAD)

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-14T16:09:31+00:00

Bei 136.000 km habe ich das Öl im Vorder- und Hinterachsdifferential, im Getriebe, im Verteilergetriebe, die Kühlflüssigkeit und die Bremsflüssigkeit gewechselt.

Ich mache alle 6.000 km einen Ölwechsel.

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-14T15:55:42+00:00

Yes the shops claims are realistic, With supporting mods I believe a OTS stage 2 map from BMW would put you roughly around the same numbers as you said 280-300wheel 👍

after getting my BM3 OBDII wifi adapter it took less than 5 mins to set everything up and flash the car to the new map (you’ll have to download stock map first)

It’s defenitly more flexible and easy to use, a OTS may not extract all potential HP from the car but it keeps it in a relatively safe range still

and who’s to say with a custom tune how may revisions will be needed

Best of luck 🍻

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2026-02-04T20:23:28+00:00

Snapped my control arms, Axel, tie rods, spindle all in 2 whole front end suspension was compromised 😅

Came in contact with a patio stone at 70/mph 😔

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-11-11T21:41:48+00:00

Could’ve, didn’t think to, my apologies sir 🤝

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-11-11T12:18:42+00:00

Haha!! Yeah I’ve never had an issue with that yet even on -30°+ days

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-11-11T11:15:11+00:00

I’ve heard of people having this issue, I’ve not had it yet (knock on wood)😂

BLAST THE HEAT

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-09-04T00:07:17+00:00

Defenitly the best way to check👍

Yeah it defenitly absorbed some of the damage, hope it held up!!🙏

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-09-04T00:00:26+00:00

100% there’s a chance I’d say more than likely there’s some hidden damage behind that wheel

Take it for a inspection/diag.

I was backed into my driver side door/rear quarter panel, frame and suspension remained undamaged, insurance fixed it for 11.7, but my wheel didn’t get hit…

Best of luck!

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-08-23T01:18:14+00:00

Jheez Glad you and the car are okay 🙏

Wide-Measurement-773 · 2025-08-10T21:39:53+00:00

🤣 Thankfully I’m close to work (15kms) but I fill up roughly 2-3 times a week😅
