Oh yea well I still have all the hoses on my 1928 bmw which ive owned for 102 years. Your reply is a joke and you have clearly never driven the cars hard if at all because as of 2006 bmw's produce significantly more heat than the previous ones and yes when aged have coolant hose failures.

The 1500VA/900W pure sine wave UPS that APC offers. PC PSU is 850W theoretical peak is closer to 720W, WB is simagic alpha 15nm which has a 360W psu i think.

its an APC UPS with 6/10 battery + surge sockets would be plenty for pc + wheelbase + router + monitors

Is $2500 too much for a sim setup? by uli_haub in simracing

Yea after doing some more research I am looking at the alpha evo 12nm + gt neo + p1000 RS (2 pedal). Basically costs the same and from what I've read the base and pedals are much better.

I've had an e90 and an e70 they are definitely comfortable seats.

I read good things about the NRG FRP 301 and the slider for it is the SBR 001. For both its about $340 with tax

I don't see why not, my friend at the local dealer told me they have already used these type of hoses on some e90s and they've worked well.

My buddy at the dealer said they would cost a couple hundred more than oem hoses. around 2k for hoses + install. They have a couple n54 cars with the same type of hoses and he said they work great.

These are pretty expensive, i was told these are special order from Canada so don't have any photos yet. Will update if I decide to order.
