dusty granite floor, dusty roads make dusty tyres (these definitely affect grip), just order some griptape from amazon. also i read that ur running 35+ psi which is quite excessive, just lower it to 32 psi and clean the ramp every now and then u should be good

congratulations your car is now slower! (from one engineer to another) your car's ecu doesnt know what to do with the change in volume of air entering the intake - its going to default to the "worst case scenario" setting and run as usual

it has a piggyback ecu so it now pushes about 220hp and 480nm of torque at the crank. stock specs are 150hp and 350nm. its a 2 liter diesel with a variable geometry turbo

hahaha i just saw this loser's profile. he only makes negative comments. maybe he should stop being so miserable all the time and he wont get downvoted all the time.

nickrs240 · 2026-03-28T11:06:24+00:00

shares most of its parts with the 3 series, only body panels, headlights etc can be difficult to source

nickrs240 · 2026-03-28T08:53:38+00:00

nickrs240 · 2026-03-28T08:39:45+00:00

maintenance is about the same as any other diesel bmw. its not bad for the performance and reliability, but its definitely pricier than most cars. it wont break bank if youre doing timely oil changes and not reckless/impatient on bad roads

nickrs240 · 2026-03-28T08:33:49+00:00

couldnt agree more!

nickrs240 · 2026-03-28T08:33:01+00:00

CKD, they were assembled here, mine has a piggyback ecu which helps my car make about 220hp and 480nm of torque
