FINALLY got the MHI N20 big turbo installed.
The mechanic that installed the new turbo said it was good choice for stock replacement for my fubar unit. There is still a soft bottom end that has us scratching our head (no codes or other issues found). It's better than better than the old and busted unit, but a bit of lag. It appears to pull all the way to redline where to old unit pooped out around 5500rpm. I have a MAD intake tube and Dinan Sport tuner left to install. |

Same for me. When BMW initially released specs and photos I didn't know what to think but now I love the looks, especially in BSM. I'm still getting used to all the different settings in the car. I'm 450 miles into the 1200 mile break in period so hopefully within a month I will get the service done. Then I will be able to properly rip on the car and see what it's all about.

I installed the Bimmertech Comfort Access kit. Now I can get in just like a boss.
Tips: Seat the door harness pins ALL the way into the socket. Have a variety of pick tools for the door handles, wire clips, and fishing wires Carefully pack the 2000 wires back into the footwell. They fit, but barely. |

Installed these galvanic style overlay button covers for the traction control/drive mode/park assist buttons on the lower centre console. Matches with the rest of the silver elements of my interior.

I got my 1200 mile break in service completed this week and have been able to finally floor the car in lower gears and rev past 6K. It's such a different power delivery than my B58 M240i. The B58 feels like it has more low to mid range grunt but power dissipates more quickly on the top end. The S58 doesn't feel like it throws you back in your seat as much in the lower revs but just keeps building power on the top end.
I have an appt setup in a couple weeks to get PPF and window tint done. I need to figure out my front license plate strategy as I'm legally supposed to display one in the front but I really don't want too. Wheel spacers are on the list for this spring/summer and dialing in the stance with the height adjustable suspension.

Today I collected my very first BMW - a very modest 218d so probably not going anywhere near a track day haha. No pics yet, but it's black and asking for new grilles and alloys...

Hey, I see you have the convertible. I wonder if the wheel well clearance is the same as the coupe. I want the Dinan springs too but I'm concerned I may get rubbing. I have the VMR 8.5 x 18s front et 45 and 10mm spacer. Never rubs unless theres an extreme dip in the road at 55mph+. Its very slight if at all. And 9.5 x 265 rear et 52 I think and 5mm spacer. No issues. I have .8° to .9° front neg camber and 1.7° rear. Did the springs improve cornering speeds and body roll much for you?

I never put my front plate on, just carry it around in the trunk. If you don't see one for your car, reach out to Mike and he will make one from the measurements you supply. |
