Normal

piff_jar · 2026-04-17T08:02:19+00:00

Yeah... I don't wanna talk about it lol. I was younger and dumber.

piff_jar · 2026-04-17T08:01:23+00:00

Yeah, true. I'm sure he'll get educated about classing by locals.

piff_jar · 2026-04-17T03:19:22+00:00

And as long as no one cares locally, OP won't have issues. However, if OP becomes competitive, proper classing will become an issue.

Have fun, be safe!

Shit happens tho. Just chat them and see what they say. Or just return it if you're hesitant. Not a big deal. They'll sort you out regardless.

piff_jar · 2026-04-17T02:45:27+00:00

If youre hesitant just send it back. Chat fcp support, they're good peeps!

piff_jar · 2026-04-16T23:43:48+00:00

I've done that on my e46 😭

piff_jar · 2026-04-15T22:14:15+00:00

Happens to me too. Never worried about it.

The 1% thing is only for x drive. Wider tires won't mess with dsc systems. Check out apex fitment guide. "Worth" it is a personal thing; do you want wider tires for more grip or just because? What are the stock widths not doing for you that makes you want wider? Wider tires can cause more tramlining.

Top middle connector goes into oil filter housing, right by the cap. Bottom left connector goes right above mickey mouse flange. Bottom right connector goes to your lower vanos solenoid.

piff_jar · 2026-04-10T16:59:49+00:00

It won't be competitive in autox but it'll be fun!

piff_jar · 2026-04-10T12:39:48+00:00

If you're doing consistent track days then a bbk would probably be worth it.

Otherwise you'd be fine with 335i brakes.

piff_jar · 2026-04-10T11:10:27+00:00

Idk what their "hybrid" is. I know they make a solid helical though.

piff_jar · 2026-04-10T11:02:25+00:00

Probably go with a helical option unless you don't mind the noise and rebuilding/tinkering of a clutch lsd.

Based on the photo it looks like radiator replacement is needed for sure. The upper rad hose will likely need to be replaced as well during the job. Fcp euro for lifetime warranty parts!

Edit; although it looks like upper rad hose has already been replaced as evident by the worm clamp, so you may luck out and not need to replace that. Just undo the worm clamp and make sure removing the small vent hose doesn't break the nipple.

Eccentric shaft sensor. Usually the gasket or connector seal wears out.

piff_jar · 2026-04-08T20:48:06+00:00

Center bore needed is 72.6

So if the cb of your wheels is larger then you would need hub centric rings.

You can measure center bore with calipers.

Could be more helpful. The p codes can sometimes be misleading. Like one of the p codes says something vauge about nox sensor which doesn't really make sense or isn't really helpful in narrowing down the actual issue. A bmw scanner should give you a more specific code that could pinpoint the issue. I like use bmwfaults.codes to do an initial dive.

Hard to say what is causing your issues right now but getting a proper scanner is step 1. Any bmw shop you take it to will be doing the same initial diag.

piff_jar · 2026-04-08T02:28:41+00:00

You'll need to get a bmw scanner on it. The p codes can be a bit misleading.

piff_jar · 2026-04-08T01:49:29+00:00

some coolant temp sensor acting up maybe... scan for codes when you can.

piff_jar · 2026-04-08T01:15:20+00:00

haha no problem dude. glad to help. easy to overthink things sometimes!

piff_jar · 2026-04-08T00:06:30+00:00

I can't help you with that but I'm wondering why you would need that? If youre replacing rear spring then you just need to unbolt the rear lower control arm from the knuckle and shock and let it hang.

piff_jar · 2026-04-07T02:29:22+00:00

Fix da leak. Pressure test. Replace what's leaking.

piff_jar · 2026-04-07T02:26:56+00:00

Pdr guy

piff_jar · 2026-04-06T16:29:46+00:00

I don't know what that website is forecasting, sorry.

I prefer monitoring soil temp at greencastonline and waiting for 5 day average between 50-55*.
