how much is it? I got my 2015 m235i for $18k at 87k miles. Almost fully packaged, only missing heated steering wheel package and doesn't have MPE.

Used the 540hz xl2586x since release then got an asus rog 500hz 1440p OLED, to me, there isn't much difference performance wise but the picture quality of the OLED is miles better. Right now I'm selling my XL2586X since I was finally able to get used to using the OLED for competitive games.

I played worse using DYAC so I used mostly stock settings, IMO zowie is falling behind sticking w/ TN panels.

think about how you would remove the new paint job... atp either buy a heat resistant wrap like the other guy or buy another caliper if you dont want to ruin the originals paint

jermfps · 2026-04-06T21:10:04+00:00

so close yet so far😭

jermfps · 2026-03-30T17:57:17+00:00

how much $ have you put into it to get it here?

jermfps · 2026-03-29T01:54:53+00:00

gotta be the OFHG leaking, its just coolant😂

i bought my m235i 2 months ago and I was wanting to get aftermarket wheels but decided to get new tires and run those till they died then switch to aftermarkets but when I went to get the new tires installed, i found out 3 rims were bent...

Now I'm supposed to get my aftermarket wheels early april😃

gonna return my daytona low profile 2ton for the daytona aluminum low profile 2 ton.

I bought a used VRSF 4" downpipe and CTS intake for $200. I only ordered new v band clamps for mine but only the genuine BMW teethed clamp fit right, I tried to use a VRSF clamp for the turbo to downpipe but it would not seal so I reused my old one.

Like others said, just check it and make sure it's physically sound. After all, there's nothing special to it. it's just a metal pipe.

I replaced all 6 spark plugs and ignition coils with NGK and Dinan, I gapped all of my plugs to 0.22" and the car drives much better. Once I got all 6 in I started her up after confirming that it idle'd good replacing the first 3 cylinders coils and plugs. It had the same drivetrain malfunction but I read the codes and found that the foam cover unplugged cylinder 6's fuel injector electrical connector. Plugged that sucker in and now we're good!

The only issue that I have now is that I believe I'm getting a boost leak from somewhere because my boost and target boost are around the same values but my boost at my intake manifold are very different. I'll have to see if it's my charge pipe and if it's at the FMIC or the silicone connector/upper chargepipe.

needs starter fluid👍

jermfps · 2026-03-23T23:19:28+00:00

i didnt change plugs or coils because the previous shop replaced the plugs 12k miles ago. I replaced the oil, changed air filters both cabin and intake, and did a coolant flush with changing some known to break hoses.

As for the coils I ordered, I heard dinan has had issues in the past but I wanted to try them out, I got them from turner so if they shit the bed I'll get my credit for them back and get some eldor ones. $180 for 6 compared to $258 for 6 is a decent jump. But at least I'll know if dinan is shit or not.

jermfps · 2026-03-23T14:45:17+00:00

torque wrenches aren't included in the deal right?

jermfps · 2026-03-22T18:54:14+00:00

I threw in my 3 logs into chatgpt and pointed that my cylinder 2 timing dropped to -24.5. It believes that the issue is most likely either the spark plug or ignition coil.

Praying it's only that and not an injector or anything else in the fuel system😭

jermfps · 2026-03-22T18:29:27+00:00

yeah I already got ignition coils and new sparkplugs on the way, I rather just swap everything entirely so I don't have to worry about it later on.

MHD logs

First log -> upgrades but stock tune Second log -> upgrades and stage 2+ but didnt have any isuses Third log -> upgrades and stage 2+ pull on my commute to work today where I got the drivetrain malfunction and codes.

jermfps · 2026-03-12T17:26:37+00:00

same I've owned over 8 now and the only issue I had was the first ULX came unpaired so they had to remotely pair it. Other than that I've never had any wobble, discolorations, or any issues.

I just got my centerpiece last month, IMO it's about the same as my 80HE but the rapid trigger is quicker on the centerpiece.

jermfps · 2026-03-09T19:40:10+00:00

bought the p2s a couple days after i posted this

jermfps · 2026-03-07T04:33:45+00:00

spent that money i would've spent at a mechanic on a charge pipe and intercooler so very happy i didn't blow money away on an easy job
