New Jersey BMW CCA

Set of 4. Rims and TPMS are stock takeoffs from my daughter’s 2013 328xi (style 393 I believe). Tires were mounted new and used one season. I got rear ended this summer and my car is totaled so I won’t need the set this winter. Rims are good and straight. Not perfect cosmetically but very good for w...

I’m beginning to look for a solid preowned e90/92 or 1 series 6 speed manual as an extra vehicle. While I’d like the extra power of the turbo over the 230hp or 255 hp N52/N51 I’m more concerned about reliability and cost if I keep it past 150k miles. Can anybody share any facts on the difference in ...

CEL came on in our e90. My generic code reader pulled “P1447 - diagnostic module tank leakage too high during solenoid switching test” Is this a generic fault description and is there a most common cause? On line I’m seeing several potential causes from the old gas cap issue to the DTML pump. Would ...

Yes, replacing the coil solved the issue for me. No problems since. Pulling the error code was the key. Then, when it was specific to one cylinder, swapping coils and seeing the error follow the bad coil to another cylinder made the cause apparent

Thanks very much Mark

I'm contemplating an HPDE with my 228i. I've only run non-m normally aspirated straight sixes till now. Has anyone had experience with an N20 powered car at an HPDE? Is there anything I should be aware of or any different cool practices I should follow if I track it? I'm run intermediate Thanks, Bill

Awesome! Love the guys that rolled and kept going

Thanks so much for the detailed response! That's a great site and the illustration is very helpful.

I'm preparing to get snow tires on dedicated rims for my 2016 228 Msport with track handling pkg. Think M235i as the M brakes and wheels are the same. I have a set of the base 17" wheels from an F30 that clear the calipers and appear to fit well with no rubbing anywhere but the offset is different. ...

Great idea. I did order two. AutohausAZ.com has the oe Bosch replacement for $20 a piece!

Thanks Colin. I'm going out on that limb tonight

Got the above code after the service engine soon light came on and engine began running rough. First thing that comes to mind is the coil but before I start moving parts around to isolate the issue would anyone suggest a particular pecking order of things to check? 50,000 miles No other symptoms lik...

This review by an instructor supports your point about new tech passing old on the track

Thanks for the info. I have 3500 miles of street driving on the car at this point. I have to say I love the suspension so far and would consider that price difference worth it if the replacement intervals are equivalent and there isn't a ton more expenses around related sensors and electronics. The ...

On second pass I see that F20 is included in the 1 series tech catagory
