Installed a wireless charging tray in my car. Not as straight forward as I would have liked but I made it work. Look for my install pictures and instructions in the DIY section.

Took my M240i to the.....
......dealer as the clutch pedal (the transmission is a manual) is vibrating during the last 1/4 to 1/3 of the its travel. Car has roughly 8500 miles. The service person said it needs a new clutch, and that I could be on the hook for the cost! I never hold the clutch down at stoplights as I engage first gear when the light is about to turn green. I don't drag race the car, though I'm tempted. I have tracked the car at VIR and Summit Point (a total of 3 times), but the transmission is in 3rd gear for most of the time at both tracks.
Anyone have similar issues with the clutch in their cars? |

Given you have a 2018, how is it that you're possibly on the hook for the repair?

45k kms, 5 track days, many kms of hard mountain driving. Some playing around with launching points and LC, no issues to report.
Sorry for your luck, seems like these things are hit/miss with respect to namely the dual mass flywheel. The dealer/BMW should help you on this with such low miles, I'd fight hard if they push back, that's absurd. They'd have to find a lot of friction material in order to point the finger at driver error..

Congratulations, welcome, and it looks like you had a long wait to replace the one in the background....I think I can say, literally, you are about to have the "ride of your life"!

That's an old project car. "The Roach" is a 82 Corolla. The PO used it a dog house. It actually runs and drives! Everyone needs a crapbox to try crazy stuff on.

JL Amp and Subwoofer Add-On to HK System
Hi All,
I wanted some more "boom" to go along with the OEM HK system. I ended up purchasing a JL 10" subwoofer, JL Mono Amp, and a custom fiberglass enclosure through Visualice on eBay. I also used the Technicpnp add a sub harness. Install was very easy, looks clean, and sounds great. |

I took the 230i to my SCCA Reno region’s Auto-X school Novice day. It was timed but not for points, and my best run would have been good for 2nd place in the Novice class behind a Subaru 2.5RS with an STI engine swap (probably SM?).
I’m woefully under-prepped for STX, but had I stayed for the afternoon session and been able to repeat that time, I would have been first in class. None of the 86’s showed up for some reason. And I met a 1-series owner also in the Novice class and a couple m235i owners running in the F-Street class. It was a pretty good day...and now I’m tempted to spend way too much money on Re71-R’s. |
